Geocache Description:

Certified Mean One

Caution! Do not drive your motor vehicle on to Ft Ord. You could get a ticket and wind up in Federal Court. Your vehicle could be impounded.


This cache, a politically correct container, is located on a promontory in the Ft Ord Back Country. You will have to bike, hike or ride ole Paint some miles from any legal parking area to reach this location. You will have to climb on steep back country trails to reach this Mean One.

Surrounded by Wildcat Canyon, Impossible Ridge, Lookout Ridge, Jacks Ranger Station, and Picnic Canyon, there are other nearby caches that finders have described as tough but, this one is a certified Mean One.

Note to mountain bikers- You will be able to bike within a few feet of the cache. The last few hundred feet remind us of mountain biking in Moab. Recommended MTB route: Park at either Laguna Seca or Eighth and Gigling, make your way to the point where trail 50 crosses Crescent Bluff Road. Climb on trail 49 to trail 11*. Left on trail 11 a short distance to the cache. Enjoy the rest. Descend back to the point where trail 49 crosses trail 11. Continue to climb on trail 11. Left at the gate to trail 13. A short ride on trail 13 to trail 50. Trail 50 is a single-track downhill that is a Ft Ord favorite. Catch your breath and then Back out the way you came in. Thank us later.
Note to the note- Trail 11 is now called Lookout Ridge Road and trail 13 is Barloy Spur Road. Time marches on.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Walruz & BuckyD FTF - "What's mean about a nice hike with my lovely wife on this fine day before christmas..."
