Geocache Description:

Located at Malibu Creek Park in Los Angeles County same site that the Television show M.A.S.H. was filmed at as well as Planet of the Apes.


4/6/24 Major Update!! Its been 23 years since we planted this cache and today we went back and replaced the container with a huge Ammo Can filled to the brim with goodies. The trail has changed since we first climbed that hill 20 years ago, fires, floods, animals have all changed the terrain but it's still a great view and we still believe in having treasure at the end of the hike! The incline and the bushwhacking have gotten a little more intense than they originally were and being 20 years older we barely made it up there but our younger counter parts did the planting for us. So if your in the area and in the mood for a steep hike with an old fashioned cache at the end then stop by Malibu Canyon and give it a go! Happy Caching! (I've left all the old info as its still helpful)

UPDATE: 5/25/14 We are back to caching after many years off and are updating/repairing this Cache today! Thanks for all the loyal visits over the years and we are excited to add a new container with many new items to be had! Look for a Universal Movie/Television theme now. Items in the cache:

SO please take something and leave something. If you can't leave something its still okay to take something. I am a firm believer in spreading the Swag Around! :) I am also a believer that Caching is Treasure Hunting and there should be something more than the view at the end of the hunt!

Welcome to the GeoMusketeers first Cache! We decided to go with an Entertainment oriented theme so we picked a location deeply rooted in Entertainment! At the site of this cache you will be able to see where the Television Show M.A.S.H. was filmed. I highly recommend hitting the Visitors Center and seeing a picture history of the other shows filmed there as well as the animals and foliage in the area. If you follow the creek you can also do some rock climbing and rock scuttling along the waterfall. Our cache is filled with Entertainment Items all associated with Movie Studios. We understand that everyone who visits won't be able to fill the cache with fine morsels of memorabilia but if you could maybe stick to the theme some what it would be appreciated. The cache is a plastic tupperware container.

Hope you enjoy the cache and the location. I know we did. Aarrhh mateys.
