Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden on the Skyline to the Sea trail in Big Basin Redwoods State Park.

A nice spot to take a hiking break and enjoy the creek.

For a short hike to this spot, park on Gazos Creek Road in the picnicing area. It is a little less than a mile to this nice spot on Opal Creek.

The cache is a baby soda bottle hidden within five feet of the trail.

Regarding the coordinates, your GPS receiver will have a difficult time in this valley with huge redwood trees all around. I have been to this location many times and taken new readings often and compared to the posted coords. The posted coords are a good average. However, on any given day your device could be up to 70' off. My Garmin GPSMAP64 typically shows the accuracy is 35'. The inaccuracy will be greater if you are using a cell phone. Unfortunately this is the state of the GPS technology. Please use the info in the description and the hint, and good geosense.
