Geocache Description:

This spot sorta reminds me of Boundary Bowl @ Squaw - only BB is much steeper, and the trees are a lot tighter...

I was enjoying my first excursion from the house in five days (!), stumbling around trying to find some new caches. Needed a big stick upside the head on the last - and while getting the help I needed, I inquired about any pending releases that mind hinder as deployment of my own... And learned, there might just be one.

I tried to brute force that one, given the proximity of other caches: thought I might get lucky, like Don did.

Nope. But I did leave the Nature Trail at one point, diverting onto a smaller trail headed west, until I was...

Well, hopefully, far enough away to be clear of any other caches. Not sure why some consider these 'retaliation caches' - I just think of it is sweetening the deal for a cacher doing a big hike...

This one isn't all THAT far from parking: I made a Direct Assault from the Park-n-Ride, past Charbroiled, then up and UP - past the waypoint shown below - until I finally reached Muir's Swing. Then on up, past my cache, and on to a recently-solved puzzle. Then, beyond that, I recognized some other cache areas, including one of my own - and went past them all, until I arrived at this distant NW corner of the park - but after ALL that, I was still less that 1.5 miles into it...

There is some poison oak in the general area, but was easily avoidable, and not close to the cache.

Like I didn't have to come back out here already??
