Geocache Description:

A circle of redwood trees which appears to have been used as a pen long ago. Nearby is a livestock chute and remnants of fence, signs that this area was once used agriculturally.

This cache is hidden in "The Miller Property", a Santa Cruz County park which seems to be being kept a secret. The land was given to Santa Cruz County in 2001 by Save The Redwoods League for a county park. However, it is not listed on the county's list of parks, nor does it appear on any maps. We only discovered it after moving into a house just down the road, and finding signs when we went for a walk up the road.

Other than signs along the road, there are not any markers for the trails, but the trail to this cache is easy to find (just south of the suggested parking area) and follow.

I took a reading averaged over five minutes, so I think the posted coords are pretty good. However, the tree cover could make it difficult for your GPSr to get a good reading so it may not lead you right to the cache. But the cache is hidden in a fairly obvious spot, and shouldn't be too hard to find. You don't need to disturb the flora to find the cache. It is under a small amount of forest duff so that it will not be obvious to a muggle, please rehide it in a similar manner.

You are looking for a small lock-n-lock container.

Please do not log a find if you do not find the cache container!
