OtisPug: Oh well... two years isn't to bad of a run for a cache.

This cache can be easily reached by mountain bike or a short hike from one of two trail heads.
We chose to start from N33° 54.567' W117° 46.839'. This is a trailhead in the Chino Hills State Park. To get there somehow get yourself to the intersection of Yorba Linda Blvd. and Fairmont Dr. In the city of Yorba Linda. From there head in a Northerly direction on Fairmont until you reach N33° 54.304' W117° 46.572'. This will be the intersection of Fairmont Dr. and Rimcrest. Turn onto Rimcrest and follow it to the trailhead coordinates. From the trailhead make your way to N33° 54.861' W117° 46.806'. This is the first waypoint and is at a trail intersection. Once you reach this waypoint travel to N33° 54.907' W117° 46.181'. This is waypoint number two and is another trail intersection (I'll let you figure out which fork to take). Travel on your selected trail to N33° 55.091' W117° 45.810'. You will arrive at a wooded area with a large oak tree at these coordinates. From here the cache can be found at its given coordinates.

- (1) Book - "The Brethren" by John Grisham
