Up a BLM marked trail, you'll need a ATV, Jeep, 4x4, buggy, or someone with off road experience. Some parts of the road in are soft.
The Cache was Muggled, so the replacement cache is pretty basic, and was moved, see new coordinates.
This was our group's first Cache. Start at the power towers that cross Hwy S-2, North of Ocotillo CA. Watch where and how you cross the tracks, they do run trains and equip. up the mountain sometimes. Or you can go West out of Ocotillo. If you have the time after you find the cache, continue another 1/4 mile or so up Devil's canyon, it's an interesting Box Canyon, you can take #149 back out, and go by "Ocotillo Cactus Hole Cache" too.
We try to place our Caches (8) so they can be found by driving in a loop if you know the area, or have a BLM / Topo maps. I’d start with Tower in the Desert then Sugarloaf Mt, Canyon Cache, Crock in the Rocks, C & R's Toy Cache, Giant Rock Block Wall, and on to Becky's Peak, under the Hwys and arcoss the Yuha flats, or down Hwy 98 to De Anza Overlook, and back to Ocotillo.
Congratulations to OZHOO for being the first to find all 8 of the Ocotillo 8 caches. Not only is he the first, but also he did them all on a mountain bike. Check his profile, and look at the caches he found, and read the log of his find. All on a bike, and through some very rough desert, it’s very impressive…. Jim of the Ocotillo 8
CONGRATS to the Ocotillo TrailRiders for being the 2nd to find all 8 of our Ocotillo 8 caches. What makes it note worthy is the fact they did a couple with no coordinates, and the rest with a GPS that you can’t enter waypoints into. So they walk around the cache area till the numbers start getting close. Now that’s a determined crew. Jim of the Ocotillo 8
