Geocache Description:

This cache is in Black Mountain Open Space Park.

It’s located on the cut across trail that connects the northern and southern portions of the park. You can get there from either the parking to the north off of Carmel Valley Rd following the Miner’s Ridge Loop Trail or from the south at Hilltop Community park following the Nighthawk trail.

It's great for hiking, walking and biking. I love to mountain bike this portion of the trail because it is a fun single-track trail after a strenuous climb uphill. If you are biking be sure to yield to hikers.

I've gotten a flat tire on this trail, only to realize I forgot to bring a patch kit, so I had to walk my bike all the way home. That gave me the idea to hide some flat fixing items in a cache out here to be used when needed. Please use them if you need them, but otherwise leave them in the cache. They include:
* Tire irons
* Patch Kit
* Pressurized fix-a-flat slime
* CO2 cartridge
