NOTICE: This cache has been adopted by me and was
replaced on the 3rd. of April 2008. It is an entirely different
container and placed in a different location. The theme will remain
the same and credit will be given to the original owners, Big Green
and Shocking Chakra.
Congratulations: mommyx4 for the FTF
Who is May, and why is her birthday important?
This cache is tucked in a fun, fairly out-of-the-way spot in the
hills above Summerland. You can drive within about half a mile of
the cache site, and then there's a short, somewhat steep hike. The
cache site itself has a pretty 360-degree view of the hills.
When searching for this cache, keep an eye out for private
roads. You do not need to enter any private property to find this
cache. However, don't be afraid of signs that say the road is not
officially maintained by the city.
The hike from the nearest parking is suitable for children,
pets, and off-road bicycles. You can actually make the entire
journey by bike, assuming you don't mind steep hills.
The cache itself is a decon container, placed to blend in with
its surroundings.
On a recent visit, I discovered that there are actually two ways
to get to the cache site. One is the "official" way, and the other
takes you along a drainage gully. The latter is probably the first
path you'll find if you're watching your GPS...but it requires some
climbing, so if you have pets, a bicycle, or small children, I'd
recommend searching a little longer for a more official-looking
path.

Glad to finally check this one off my list.Been taken it easy,this last month after my freak accident out geocaching, tripped and fell and broke a couple of ribs and my wrist,feeling much better now and ready to start my hunting again.Brought a lunch along because I knew this wouldn't be a quick one from what I read in the logs.Really had no problem making the find after letting Satellites fall into there right places, cord's were right on for me.
Removed geocoin to move along
Left beach ball
TFTH!

Followed the directions and took the 'official' route to the top. After a brief rest to cool down and catch my breath, I headed over to GZ. Great GPSr reception up here today. Searched all around GZ for a decon container but only found a couple of empty corona bottles and an empty wine bottle. Expanded my search area a bit (about 30ft) and still came up empty-handed. Went to the bench and sat down for a few more minutes to think about this one some more and made another attempt at locating the cache container. Searched and searched and still nothing. Spent a total of about 30 minutes looking for this one, looked high and looked low but no joy....I'll try for this one again after someone else finds it....

We looked and looked and looked. Then... we looked some more. Got poked quite a bit and then finally .... looked one more time, and then went home. So sad

Looked very closely at GZ then expanded the search 50' right and 50' left - twice at least. After almost an hour we gave up. I really wanted to find this as I was 4th2F on the original just about 6 years ago to the day and wanted to discover Ron's Fox. May have to come back on the anniversary and try again.

Decided to take this one on early this morning. Foggy, rainy and cold. Perfect day to take a morning stroll. Found right at GZ. Signed the log, took the deaf bunny but left a fox in it's place and left a pencil. Great hide. Shouldn't be muggled for a long time. Oh, did I mention
