Coming Around the Far Turn Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

chaosmanor: Wow! Things have really changed since we were last up this way, shortly before the Springs Fire [:O]

We had intended to hike in Sycamore Canyon, but wound up on the Ray Miller Trail due to full day-use lots at Sycamore. Nicer views and cooler breezes, certainly, but far too many DNFs, including this one, which we hid. Almost nothing looks like it did a decade ago when we hid this. And GZ is much too far off the trail; did it get slightly re-routed, or were the original coords that bad?

No way to know, but this is gone, as far as we can tell. It's had a good run: over ten years and more than 100 Finds. Time to let someone else have the spot, or, if no one claims it before we come back up here, we'll do something different.

Geocache Description:

Just before the last sharp turn (going up from La Jolla Valley) on the Ray Miller Trail before the final straight-away to the Overlook Trail.

More spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Thornhill Broome Beach can be had from this area. You've climbed about 900 feet in two-and-a-half miles; time for a little caching break We flicked a couple of ticks off on the hike up, and saw a baby rattler on the way down, so be aware. At least poison oak is just about non-existant up here You are looking for a camoed plastic bottle hanging in a bush, 50 or so feet southish of the trail. We started it off with a log and pencil in a plastic bag, a few small items and a geocoin.

The Ray Miller Trail is, perhaps, our favorite trail in the Santa Monicas. A couple of months before this cache was hidden, we were part of a work crew that did a lot of grooming on it. Enjoy!
