Geocache Description:


We have no idea where this dirt road leads, but the name just called for a BIG BEAR Marshmallow. Jeeps & other 4x4's will enjoy the ride, but we made it in an Element no prob! Park @ N40 39.927 W122 35.900 & walk the last 100 yards for an easier turn around, or keep driving & let us know where you end up. FTF prize is a compass key chain incase you get lost.

The cache is placed just outside of Wiskeytown Park boundries at about 1600 feet elevation...bear country. I have heard stories of bears wondering into the park and breaking into cars to get at food. One even swam out to a boat and stole their ice chest. On our last camping trip, a skunk ate a bag of marshmallows we left out, glad it wasn't a bear. Wiskeytown provides bear proof boxes at their campsites to keep your marshmallows safe. Are they skunk proof?

Hope you enjoy this installment of our summer Marshmallow series. We could hear the creek and waterfall while placing this one, lots of wildlife running around (no bears seen), and a nice view looking south at Shasta Bally.

Congrats to TCHAS for FTF & find #1500...also to his friend TECO MAC "for being there".
