Geocache Description:

Overland cache is in the Anza-Borrego desert near the old Overland stage route of the mid-1850s.

This may turn out to be a "log only" cache depending on what's left after the first finder. Container is a large sized cinnamon Altoids tin and contains a logbook, a Palm Springs keychain, a map, and a special prize for the first finder. It's something nice and i don't think you'll be disappointed. (If you need to know what it is before seeking this cache then email me.) Will the first person to the cache that takes the prize please update the Geocaching.com website so others know it's gone. (Not everyone is interested in log-only caches.) Cache is on a bluff over-looking Vallecito wash between two ice-chest sized boulders. I approached the cache site from the SW starting at the Well of Eight Echos (N32 53.108, W116 13.043) along highway S2. I think this is the nicest way to reach the site. Is a nice gradual climb of about 2 miles thur a forest of ocotillos. Note that the jeep trail that shows on the USGS topo maps of the area is NOT a designated driving route and is closed to vehicles. It does make a nice trail to walk along however. The other approach is from the north from near Hollywood and Vine (N32 54.430, W116 12.275) in the Vallecito wash. Bit of a steep climb out of the wash. I recommend the southern approach. An interesting side trip is to visit the VALLE benchmark at N32 53.685, W116 11.669. After placing this cache i went on to find the Mud Cave Cookie Tin cache. See waypoint GC2A7. I also spent a second night camping in the park. I love it here. I have photos on my geocaching page [This cache information may be used/copied/distributed freely for any purpose whatsoever without prior consent of the cache owner.]
