Sycamore Cycling Stash Series # 11: On the Hidden Pond Trail almost 1 mile from the top. The large rocks emerging from the meadow here remind me of the statues on Easter Island. Please note that the Hidden Pond Trail is closed to bikes so you'll have to stash your bike near the trailhead and hike in.
The caches in Sycamore Canyon more than a couple of miles from a trailhead are visited only every few months. They must be too far for most hikers to reach them, so I'm starting a series of caches that are on the central trails. The objectives of putting these caches are
1. To give mountain bikers some caches that are more than a few minutes from the trailhead
2. To give hikers who like long hikes some more caches
3. To provide more caches to encourage more cachers to venture into the heart of Sycamore Canynon
4. To encourage cachers to take up mountain biking to make it easier for them to get to these
Of course all cachers are encouraged to seek these out whether they arrive by bike, foot or horseback. In fact, some of these caches will be on trails that are closed to bikes so you won't be able to reach them on wheels! Also, bring some caches of your own to deploy while you're looking for these. There's plenty of room, and more deployers makes for a more interesting day of caching!
The terrain rating is high because of the distance from a trailhead. These caches are all near firm and well-travelled trails. Trailheads are listed on "Sin Nombre Crash Corner" GC1KGYR (visit link) .
Sycamore Canyon is part of the majestic Pt Mugu State Park and is immediately west of the Boney Mountain State Wilderness Area. You can find detailed maps and trail descriptions at VenturaCountyTrails.org on this page (visit link) . Print out the map and bring it with you to find the quickest way through the park.
You are looking for a camo'd container on the small side of small. The original container was lost so the cache name doesn't make sense anymore.
