Farley's Rest Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

geodarts: This cache has long been in need of maintenance -- ever since the lid to the container was left slightly open. That it has been this long made me decide to archive it. The intersection is a good spot for a cache, but not for this one.

Geocache Description:

Phil Frank, the creator of Farley, once said that his idea of luxury was to be on the crest of Bolinas Ridge and to fall asleep on the hillside.

Phil probably had GGNRA land in mind, but I half-expected to see Farley, the Bears, or a feral cat just around the corner, wherever he might be now.

If you climb up Shafter or come across the Bolinas Ridge, you might welcome a spot to take a rest and find a cache. While you are there, you can think about what this area would have looked like if the plans for a parkway and houses -- connecting to a freeway leading to a Bolinas marina -- had ever been developed. There is a lot we owe to those who worked to keep this space open for us all.

I followed a deer trail just off the main fire road, and the cache is visible from the right angle.
