LavaLizard: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Steep canyon walls and dense foliage limit the accuracy of the GPSr making the search much more difficult than it has to be. A beautiful walk with great rewards.

This cache was placed on the same day we placed the "K"ismet and "N"ot Mine caches. We opted for the 9-mile loop hike and placed these along our way, but you could do this in several different attempts splitting up the pleasure over the course of cache days.

While this picture MAY be a spoiler, I thought I'd better include it. The best I could do for accuracy (with the dense trees and high canyon walls) was 40 feet! I figure ANY hint would be a good one here. And, yes, there may be some poison oak involved in your hunt. NO NEED TO LEAVE THE TRAIL.

For this hike, whether merely to this cache or the entire loop, bring PLENTY of drinking water and certainly swim apparel.

Poison Oak is DENSE along this trail, so it's perfect for a Poison Oak Cacher's placement. :) To do the whole loop trail, I provide a map below.If you take the scenic loop trail, you can make this a three-fer including "N"ot Mine and "K"ismet Climb.
