This cache is placed to honor the now-archived cache, The Oaks
(GC2A5D), originally placed in November 2001. History note: The
cache name refers to very original location with some oak trees,
but, unfortunately, it also had some less friendly "oak" as well!
The description of the location still applies, and is repeated
below.
The Oaks original description:
Update: Due to numerous responses, I've relocated the cache to a quieter area, and without poison oak!
"The Oaks": A hidden cache in Rancho San Antonio Park. It's a strenuous hike in rolling hills with some great views! Altitude gain: 850ft. Difficulty: Moderate hiking; bring plenty of water in warm weather. Good Luck!
Take a hike among the oaks and meadows and find the hidden treasure! Since this cache is deep within the park (approx. 2.5 mi.), I'd like to offer some waypoints to help you on your way.
Waypoint 1—Your Starting Point: N37° 19.953 min W122° 05.237 min.
This waypoint brings you to the ideal spot to start: The parking lot closest to the trail you'll use. Park, and pick the trail that takes you to Waypoint 2 (below).
Waypoint 2—Many Trails, Many Choices: N37° 19.970 min W122° 06.218 min.
There are many ways to the prize, but some paths are easier than others...which trail takes you up to Waypoint 3?
Waypoint 3—Top of the Hill: N37° 20.053 min W122° 06.630 min.
Take a moment to rest and enjoy the great views of the Bay Area! From this vantage point, if you face Waypoint 4, your next route will be the middle, uphill trail.
Waypoint 4— Walk for another .6 miles. If you see a fork, you are close. N37° 20.101 min W122° 07.141 min. This is your final destination. Good Luck!
