TimberToo: Decided to let this one go. It's still a nice spot to visit, so perhaps a new cache will appear here someday.

Geocache Description:

About halfway between the Woodside Rd and Skyline Blvd entrances to Wunderlich Park, there is a shady roundabout
where the Skyline and Alambique trails meet.


The Crossroads is a peaceful rest stop/lunch spot with two benches and four entrances/exits. It's about 2.4 miles from the Skyline Blvd trailhead and 3.2 miles from the Woodside Rd trailhead.

There is tree coverage here, so getting coordinates was really difficult. The North coordinate ranged from 37 23.737 to 37 23.755, while the West coordinate seemed relatively stable at/near the posted value. So the hint should help a lot, and for a gentler nudge, we'll say: look around for the likely hiding spot on the perimeter of this circular intersection.

The Old Traffic Signs

The cache is a small square camo'ed plastic container. Please rehide so it's completely out of view. Even though it feels like the middle of nowhere, The Crossroads gets a lot of equestrian traffic, so please make sure nobody's looking before replacing it!

Park hours are 8am to sunset. Please respect park hours and cache only during those times.

Standard Park notices apply; there are mountain lions, snakes, ticks, poison oak in this park. Be prepared.
