This smaller plastic container is stashed pretty well, so that it can be viewed unblocked only from one angle. That may change depending on how well visitors replace the cache. Note that my Magellan 300 GPSR only reports two decimal places of accuracy, but the cache is pretty close to the spot where both hundreds digits were changing. My nephew was able to make this hike last year when he was five, but the going can get a little steep depending on which direction you come from.
I originally took some pictures, but I seem to have broken my camera somehow during the Back Atcha cache hunt. The views are probably better in the late afternoon when the sun is in the west.
This cache begins life as a Halloween-themed cache. Please do not insert candy treats, however, as raccoons are known to prowl these hills (and can be very persistent when it comes to extracting food from containers). You might want to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving to get into the mood. The original cache contents included:
- Two unused Trick-or-Treat bags
- A self-inking "Boo!" rubber stamp
- A pumpkin-head Pez dispenser
- A witch Pez dispenser
- A Hallmark ghost toy that says "Boo!" when you press it
- A Burger King witch Silly Slammer
- A Halloween hacky sack which I had originally placed into the "A" is for Alum cache but went back and retrieved for this cache.
- Logbook and pen
There didn't seem to be any poison oak in the cache area. However, there is poison oak elsewhere on these hills. You should be okay as long as you stick to the trails.
