This cache location overlooks the place where GOLD was discovered
back in 1848.
So in keeping with the luck of the Gold Rush this cache is filled
with California Lottery tickets!
Try your luck! As in the Gold Rush there is no guarantee of
success.
You may strike it rich or you may get zip, zero, nothing or maybe
you will get enough to go into town and get a drink and maybe a
meal.
Please only stake a claim to one ticket per finder.
Also [lease note in your online log if you won or not and how much
if you did.
The Monroe Ridge trail is a nice 3 mile loop trail that takes
you up above the James Marshall Memorial.
There are great views of the Coloma valley and South Fork of the
American river area.
In the spring the area is bursting with wildflowers.
The cache is located near a picnic table. So bring a lunch or a
snack.
Binoculars would also be a good idea.
The cache is a Rubbermaid container and contains a log book,
pen, and lottery tickets.
A free map of the trails in the park is available at the desk in
the Park Museum .
This cache is hiker friendly but dogs are not allowed.
There is also a parking fee but if you are too cheap to help fund
our state parks.
You can park in a turn out along side the road just North of the
park on Hwy 49.
Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the
cache is doing.
If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates
with your log.
So I can make adjustments if necessary.
No more boring log entries.
Hey folks how about leaving a log entry that tells me something
about finding this geocache or about your day of geocaching? We are
all guilty of the old cut and paste but how about something more
than "Good cache TNLNSL TFTC" on 10+ caches in one day? We cache
owners like to hear about your experiences. It gives us a feeling
of being there when we can't be, how the cache is doing, and it
lets us get to know you in a virtual kind of way. That doesn't mean
it has to be long just not boring.
Remember the cache owners and anyone with a watch on the cache
will read your log, how about making it interesting.
We Thank You.
