This cache is a small container about 3 inches in diameter and an inch deep, hanging in a Quercus agrifolia. The cache is located between Toe Stubber Trail and Antidote to Civilization. Google Earth Plus clearly shows which Quercus agrifolia.

Here we are again; a small group of volunteer workers trying to save this trail. We will be back in the spring of 2007 to make more repairs to the trail and add water diversions to stave off erosion damage. By placing this cache I hope to add interest in the trail and get people closer to Campy’s Antidote to Civilization. Views of the cliff face of Boney Mountain from here are spectacular. Because our work projects are authorized, we are able to drive to the trailhead. Spend a few hours working with us and save about 8 miles of hiking.

Because of the distance and height gained, this cache is rated 3 stars to get close. Another half star was added for the final assault. The cache has an AC aspect. It is hanging, but much higher than i-hi. It is very easy to spot. When re-attaching please ensure maximum magnetic surface contact. I can usually identify dormant poison oak and did not see any. If poison oak leaves show up in the growing season, please let me know.

May 25 by erik (6874 found) Good job on this one, thanks! Last one for today, on my loop through Serrano Valley from PCH. I always liked this trail, and do recall when it was initially on the Backbone Trail map, before rerouting through Danielson Ranch. The hardpacked sections of the path have been recently reworked, yea. [view this log]

January 31 by GeoCraig (5089 found) I looked for a while, but figured that I would be safer staying on the trail. Didn't really look too hard. I was just getting too tired to do a good search. For the full story of my day's activities, please go to (visit link) [view this log]

January 10 by OLdweeb (6417 found) I'm REALLY GLAD to have reached this cache on the way DOWN. Trying to go the other way would've been too much for me. TFTC [view this log]

November 15, 2008 by BWidget (4898 found) Robb had this 'extra' cache that was not part of the group list. I gladly said I would join him, who knows when I'll get back this way. Thanks for the fun cache today. [view this log]
