Geocache Description:

A traditional cache in Toro Regional Park


Pace Amore e Felicità

No need to bushwhack! Do carry plenty of water. This cache is approximately 1560 feet above sea level. The climb could cause dehydration – especially on a warm day. Also be aware that if you approach from the direction of Mark's Canyon then you should wear long trousers. There is a lot of Poison Oak encroaching on the trail in that area. Fortunately there is little Poison Oak in the drier chaparral near the cache location. Ticks may encountered near Mark's Canyon

Speaking of chaparral - that is a term for a semi-arid environment dominated by shrubby plants. This kind of habitat may also be refered to as “coastal scrub.” As you gain the higher elevations there are good views across the Salinas Valley.

There was formerly a shiny token with a “Peace, Love & Happiness” theme which could be had as a small reward for finding a cache in this series. The custom-made tokens may still be found in “Peace, Love & Happiness” caches from time to time. If you find a cache which has more than one of the collectible tokens then kindly take only one! The tokens are meant as a souvenir for folks who have made at least a short trek to find a “Peace, Love & Happiness“ cache.

You are looking for a small signature container hidden very near the trail.

Original Contents:

  • small logbook
  • small pen
  • “Peace, Love & Happiness” pathtag
  • FTF pin for the first finder.
  • Carrying case for two AA batteries – complete with handy-dandy suggestions for keeping track of whether your rechargeable batteries are charged or not
