This cache will be a nice hike and will bring you to a natural
formation that will remind you of the Indiana Jones ride at
Disneyland.
This is a small cylindrical cache large enough for a log book and
small trade items. I really enjoyed this location, but be careful
it looked like some creatures may live here, but you can hardly
blame them.
In AD 450, a small group of Shoshone-speaking people migrated to
the Santa Clarita Valley. The Kitanemuk Indians, who lived in the
Antelope Valley, called these people the Tataviam. The name derived
from their words taviyik, or "sunny hillside," and atavihukwa, or
"he is sunning himself." Thus the word tataviam might be roughly
translated as "people facing the sun" or "people of the
south-facing slopes." The Tataviam were more aggressive than the
Chumash, who lived here at the time and encouraged them to move
west down the Santa Clara River beyond Piru Creek. The Chumash
referred to the Tataviam as "Allikliks." The Chumash word alliklik,
thought by some to be a derogatory term, means people who stammer
or do not speak clearly.
It is believed their spirits take the form of a Hawk and watch
over their sacred land. A photo of the hiding location can viewed
