There are a couple of dirt roads that can get you to an easy cache distance, but I would ‘not’ use the family car to get all the way there. The roads start off dirt/sandy but morph into rock/boulders in spots on the way to the cache location. The ‘natural experience’ is great on the way… but be aware that once ‘on the trail’ there are limited ‘turn around spots’. I would recommend a vehicle with a high clearance (and 4 wheel would make you feel more secure).
The Cache is located on my property, and as such, you have my permission to enter for the purpose of the cache hunt and photo shoot. Please keep the area as pristine as I have left it (… it’s a real bummer trying to get the maid to tidy up once a week).
Please take only pictures and memories, leave the rocks and vegetation as you find them. No hunting (animal type) is allowed.
Stop for a moment and consider what it must have been like to reach this area on horseback or covered wagon (… the suspension in them things was the pits ya know). You ever wonder why the frontiersman was so tough???... well… a fainter man would have turned back or perished getting this far… a definite testimony to the principle of ‘survival of the fittest’.
As to why this thing is stashed here… we are at the point where we can be considered ‘empty nesters’ (..a short pause placed here to allow all the other empty nesters to join us in a rousing !!Yea!!). We made a run down in this area for a quiet Christmas 2008 and took that opportunity to place our first cache. Besides the obligatory log book, and some trading items, we have left a nice FTF memento for the intrepid explorer who reaches this site first.
… and the winner of the “Intrepid Explorer Award” are the “lazybees”!! … congratulations on being FTF.
