Geocache Description:

As anyone who caches through this area knows, I am a huge fan of the Carrizo Plain. I am attempting to actually turn the Carrizo Plain into the caching mecca of Kern County (note: most of it is is actually in San Luis Obispo County, but I was young when I first made this statement), if not California, if not the United States, if not the world!

Obviously the Taft Chamber of Commerce sign has also realized the significance of the Carrizo Plain and its attraction to visitors from all over the world. That is why the Taft Chamber of Commerce has "Gateway to the Carrizo Plain" firmly planted on the side of it.

However, it doesn't stop there. Now, there are signs cleverly planted at all three major access points leading into Taft that inform visitors where to find the Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center. Aparently, visiting the Carrizo Plain is not enough, but you should also visit the Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center as well.

As a special treat, I have planted the mystery cache Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center Westside in the middle of the Carrizo Plain that can only be found after visiting all three Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center signs as well as the actual Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center itself.

So be sure to write down the mystery cache answer as you log those caches so you can kind the final cache in this series.

Update: 12/15/2015: CPVC Southside was muggled and realizing so few people will find Carrizo Plain Visitor's Center Westside in its current format, I am going to make the final solvable from your computer in the comfort of your very own home or while you should be being productive at work. You just need to figure out:

North 4428035 position of 3.14... by South 21506368 position of 3.14...

Good luck and enjoy the Carrizo Plain!
