Geocache Description:

Park at bottom of Capra Rd in Soledad Canyon. DON'T cross the RR tracks!

2/23/06-just replaced container

My first cache placement (second try) in L.A. This cache was formerly 'The Other Side' cache in Folsom, CA. Just moved back to L.A. from Sacto. The cache is a short hike from the nearest parking. Cross the USUALLY dry river and follow the old fire road up the south wall of the canyon.(Previous location caused havoc with my GPS, as I got a different reading every time I went back!) The actual Lang Station rail siding is a 1/2 mile NW, and was the meeting place of the Central Pacific L.A. to S.F. rail line on Sept 5, 1876 with a ceremonial golden spike being driven. (See link below) Anyway, when placed, the 8 inch diameter Tupperware cache contained:

  • Poo-Chi toy
  • Band-Aids
  • Carabiner Clip
  • NY and RI state quarters
  • Grateful Dead pin
  • 'Way To Go' button
  • Sacagawea Dollar Travel Bug
