Once you embark upon this trip, know ye that it is all up hill. And I'm talking about maybe 1700' over a mile, so it's not something you should bring a toddler on. But the secondary trail is reward enough for many, and well worth the trek up the steep parts. You won't be disappointed; it resembles trails in the San Jacinto wilderness. The cache is fairly well hidden, covered with some loose brush. You're looking for a Tupperware (tm) cake carrier, so it's round and fairly big. Beige on the top, clear bottom.Views from these trails are varied, but you'll certainly see some disappearing landscape if you look around. The area nearby has some historic sites, including an old dam (still working) and dirt roads that were coach trails in the cowboy days.
I would recommend you allocate a good couple hours for this cache, and do it in the daytime. If you get caught past sunset, there is NO artificial light around, and the steepness of the trail can make it dangerous. Also, there are a few "gates" that sometimes are closed off at sunset, so you chance getting stuck in there. Don't attempt the roads in rainy weather, as they can get quite muddy. In the summer, the trail will be home to snakes and bugs, so come prepared. All disclaimers aside, this is a very cool trip for anyone who likes hiking. Up. ;-)
This cache contains some trinkets like the other "Chupy" caches, and some new stuff, including a collectible Disney's California Adventure bead. If you have a CD player, I've included a custom selection of music off of Napster, and a mini-disc with some 1940's radio shows called "Suspense".
This should be a very rewarding find for most hunters, and you'll appreciate the trail along the way. Enjoy, and don't forget to visit my site where pictures of the cache can be seen by those who have found it (code and password are required, and can be found at the cache)!
