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
Although not officially "numbered remains," these Seven Guardians
of the Dune stand as stark sentinels of the past.
To reach this cache, it will be necessary to bushwhack across
the landscape. The container is hidden just east/northeast of the
seven.
The container is a clear plastic Lock & Lock box filled with
trade items, a log, and a pen. Please take care with the
rehide--uncamo'd plastic creates a glare which can be seen for
miles!
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.

It was a foggy day and cool but a very nice walk along the dunes. Easy find. We took the post-it and left a dinosaur.

It was a fun hike skirting the bottom of the giant sand dunes, climbing up to the top at times and finally reaching this cache. I grabbed the white jeep TB. TFTC
