BikeNfind: Will release this one to make room for others. The cache was actually farther from the site than I wanted, Maybe someone can bring attention to this monument who lives closer. Thanks.

California State Historical Landmarks - Orange County

Properties of historical importance in California are currently designated as significant resources in three state registration programs: State Historical Landmarks, Points of Historical Interest, and the California Register of Historic Places. Below is one of the State Historical Landmarks for Orange County. This data is provided by the Office of Historic Preservation - California Department of Parks and Recreation and is also available in the California Historical Landmarks Book.

NO. 204 OLD SANTA ANA
"Portolá camped on the bank of Santa Ana River in 1769, and José Antonio Yorba, a member of the expedition, later returned to Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. El Camino Real crossed the river in this vicinity. The place was designated Santa Ana by travelers and known by that name until the present town of Santa Ana was founded. Location: NW corner of Lincoln Ave and Orange Olive Rd, Orange "

Cache is hidden just a short distance away from the historical marker because of the restrictions for railroad tracks. As you see in the picture, the marker sits right on the R/R right of way. There is a short parking space on Orange Olive just north of the marker where you see a break in the curb for you to park and walk to the marker.

Cache is best reached by parking nearer to GZ, but DO NOT interfere with the business if during operational hours. The cache is hidden in a "Typical" location (to aid you in recovery). You are looking for an altoid container. It will be more difficult to access during business hours (rating=3), best done after closing.

The business owner at the site is aware of the cache location, but obviously not all employees or visitors, so use your Geosenses.
