This trail is not maintained, so branches which have fallen across the trail do not get removed. This part of the trail is on a hillside which is steep enough that you can generally duck under branches on the uphill side. Most are low enough, however, that if you're not careful you could bonk your noggin on them. So when we were hiking on it with some friends, the leader would call out "branch!" to warn those following.
This cache is just up the trail from the Sites Available!!! (GC1YF2F)
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 (using the waypoint for parking) and follow. There is a creek crossing that could be tricky (or not possible) depending on how much water is running in the creek. Most of the year the water level is low enough that this will not be much trouble. But I upped the terrain rating because of this.
The coords were averaged over 10 minutes, so I think they 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, right on the trail. Do not leave the trail to look for the cache.
You are looking for a small lock-n-lock container.
Please do not log a find if you do not find the cache container!
