A small twisted ancient interior live oak splitting a rock outcrop an hour up the trail.

A tiny chörten before this tree.
Into the woods. Maze fence gate. Young douglas fir, redwood, a new state of being. Sun on madrone: to the bare meadow knoll. (Last spring a bed of wild iris about here and this time too, a lazuli bunting.)

The cache is a short distance from tree / rock. At the time this cache was placed, the bridge across Redwood Creek on the Dipsea trail was closed. Hikers were being detoured to the nearby Deer Park Fire Road, which crosses the Dipsea at various locations.
From here, continue to Lone Tree Spring.
