Pinnacle View Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Geocachers of the Bay Area
An interesting, isolated pinnacle on view from this pretty county road. A long way from the Bay Area...

We have driven this road dozens of times, but somehow never caught a glimpse of this odd rock formation on the skyline, until today. So we placed a cache here, to get you to stop and stare. It appears that you could climb up there, but it's private property. Do not go over the fence to find the cache; in fact you can reach it while standing on the gravel shoulder of the road.

After our day-tour of Panoche, we were on the way back to Hollister, somewhat west of PW ranch. There's plenty of room to pull off the road on the westbound side. See pole #13117. Sorry about the filmcan micro - we were not planning to place any caches today and this was all we had in the truck. (You can adopt the cache and replace it with something better if you want) Just enjoy a drive in this scenic countryside. And remember, look up to enjoy the view here.

Congratulations, and thanks, to CTomGeo on the FTF. Coords we had originally listed (based on too-few satellites) were 36-39.197, 121-07.464. We have changed the hint to be less of a spoiler now that the posted coords are good enough.
