Geocache Description:

This cache was placed during an all day hike from Big Basin State Park Headquarters to the Sea in search of caches and letterboxes by the team of Coralgeo, Touchstone & Chickasaw. Seeing that the hike ahead would be "strenuous" I decided this was a great spot to leave my ammo box. It's also a good spot to rest your hiney!

Coming from Big Basin Headquarters this hike is a bit less than a mile. Start your gps search where two roads meet with Skyline to the Sea Trail. You may want to pick up a Big Basin Trail Map before you begin.

Original cache contents include: a White Jeep TB and another TB (to move). For trade are sig items from Touchstone and Coralgeo, a Santa Cruz County Geocachers coin, Geocaching patch, DVD, camo loot bag, and other goodies. FTF gets to keep one item without a trade. Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS to CTomGeo who was FTF on July 21, 2005!

Update 1/15/2024:
The original hid location was burned away in the August 2020 CZU lightening complex fire. The cache is still an ammo can, but in a new location a short distance away.
