ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Monkey's use of tools show how similar humans and animals are in terms of problem solving skills and intelligence. Some Monkeys See other monkeys use tools and then those Monkeys Do the same thing (Monkey See Monkey Do). Monkey See Monkey Do is a series of caches in which you'll have to think like a monkey and figure out how to retrieve each cache by finding an object in the area that you can use as a tool or solution to retrieve the cache log. You are not required to bring a tool or create a tool as one is provided somewhere in the area, so please look for the solution as you look for the cache. But knowing where the cache is will help you figure out what kind of a solution to use.

THE SOLUTION TO THIS PUZZLE IS TO USE THE TOOLS PROVIDED!
YES, the cache is at the above coordinates. The puzzle is to figure out how to find and retrieve the cache without damaging the structure that holds it, and then replacing everything EXACTLY as you found it after you sign the log. (Please don't make it too easy for the next Geocacher!)
Park at China Lake Park (or public transportation local bus 2) and follow the waypoints.
Parking lot is located on S 19th Street at WP1, just West of Hwy 16. Park and start on the path heading toward WP2. You'll quickly arrive at WP2.Make a right turn and walk up the hill. Continue walking until you arrive at the bicycle playground (lots of bike paths) and veer toward the right but **EDIT-- take the trail all the way back to the fence. Make a right turn at the fence and follow the trail all the way to the cache.**END EDIT. Head to GC and search. Tighten your shoelaces and protect your ankles from sprains as you are walking on ground that has not been walked on which has soft earth, a few holes, and sticks. Lots of sticks. Please carefully watch where you walk.
Muggles-At times you may encounter muggles. The closer you get to the cache, the fewer you are likely to run into but be aware there are paths all around the cache and during the warmer months, there will be more muggles in this area. Expecially bicycling ones.
Anything you move to help you find and retrieve the cache should be removed so the next cacher has the same challenge. To retrieve, there are multiple thought processes.
If you are unable to find and retrieve the cache, please do not remove objects from the area as you may be removing the tool.
He's Back! The Yellow Bee is Not at Ground Zero but you are close (please leave him alone).
The cache is highly visible but then again, so is a jungle.
