Meet Fort Ord Dunes State Park!
Fort Ord Dunes State Park is located on four miles of Monterey Bay shoreline. The area is open and relatively undeveloped, but has a military history as a small arms training ground. Over 100 abandoned buildings and military remnants are scattered throughout the African ice plant-covered dunes. Because the park has not yet officially opened, access is limited. However, parking and entry are currently available on the corner of 1st Avenue and 1st Street just east of Highway 1.

This cache series will allow you to hike the roads and tracks of the park while watching for those "what is that doing here?" spots. And keep your eyes open for those numbers!

CACHE DETAILS
A rusty relic on a dead-end track, 3854's official name is Shock-Free R.R. Bumper.

The cache has room for a few tiny trade items. Please bring your own pen to sign the log.

UPDATE: In March 2009, the park officially opened. Hours are 8:00 to a half hour after sunset daily. Admission is free. Parking is available by taking 1st Avenue to the 8th Street bridge--follow the signs.

13:00 Out in Marina with "fast fred" for a New Years day caching adventure. We did quite a number of the dunes caches while in the area today. This is a beautiful park. The container blended well with the surroundings. I found the coordinates for the entire series to be very close for me... which isn't always the case! Thanks for the geo fun!
