Geocache Description:

The northwest area of Vasquez Rocks County Park seemed strangely devoid of caches. I ventured out here anyway, and thought I'd give others a couple reasons to to the same. The park is open from 8-5 daily during winter hours, and 8-6 during the summer.

This cache is hidden near the northwestern-most corner of the park, but well out of view of the houses to the west. This is a nice area to get away from other people; I had this whole area all to myself. I was surprised to discover this rock outcropping as I was wandering around, and thought others might enjoy it too. During the rainy season the wash drains through a small canyon of sorts, and the bowl-shaped depressions become large pools of water. I wouldn't recommend swimming in them, though.

I followed a narrow trail to the cache site, but admittedly got a bit turned around on my way back and returned via a somewhat different and more confusing route. So be aware of where you're going, and don't bushwhack.

The cache is a camo'd Lock-n-Lock container tucked away amongst the rocks. Hopefully it won't be too difficult, but satellite reception can be a bit spotty at ground zero. I only had 40 feet accuracy at GZ but took my readings from a higher elevation. Think like a cacher and you'll have it in your hands in no time.

Good luck, and happy caching!
