Geocache Description:


Another cache by the Socal4x4Geocachers along the famous RubiconTrail. The eastern end of the trail here near Lake Tahoe and Tahoma has been pretty barren of caches. We had originally planned to place caches along each of the lakes near the trail, but once again ran short on time. While this cache is technically on the Rubicon Trail (or at least near the start of it), the road in is paved up to this point. So any type of vehicle can make it to this point. Only those with suitable vehicles prepared for the trail ahead should proceed further then observation point.

The cache you are seeking is an ammo can. It is hidden not too far off the road. It should be assessable during the winter given the placement. If the tree cover is giving you problems, use the spoiler pic attached. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Mike and Peri for their assistance with cache maintenance.
