I had hiked to Chuy's Grinder cache and saw this intersecting trail leading off of the main trail. Checking my GPS, I saw the symbol for a mine fairly close by. I started up the trail and saw what appeared to be some discarded mining equipment, and thought of placing a cache there but it seemed too close to the Grinder.
I continued up the narrow trail, sometimes having to crawl under the brush. When I arrived at the mine site, I found an old shack and assumed it was for the miners who had worked in the area. I began following the arrow towards the mine opening, but didn't feel the area was safe for visiting cachers. I went around back and found what I felt was a good hiding spot.
This area may have poison oak in some parts. I did not see any near the cache site when I placed it, but it's prevalent in the area. Please also watch for critters in the area -- four legged and slithering. This seems to be a lightly traveled trail, and help might be hard to come by if needed.
Gold dollar as FTF prize
