"A group of conservationists led by Andrew
P. Hill camped at the base of Slippery Rock on May 15, 1900 and
formed the Sempervirens Club to preserve the redwoods of Big
Basin. Their efforts resulted in deeding 3,500 acres of primeval
forest to the State on September 20, 1902 to mark the beginning
of the California State Park System."
Given the beautiful parks that we have around
here and the joy I get from caching in them, it seemed appropriate
to point out this location to others as well. The cache is located
roughly 100 feet or so away from the plaque commemorating Big Basin
as the first California State Park.
