Slip Slidin' Away Traditional Cache

Ok here is the beta on the hike and stash. The coordinates given are the terminus of the hike but you will need additional info to get there, your first coordinate will be N 34.36.991 X W 118.44.612 this will put you at a gate, sorry, you wont be able to drive past this gate, park in the lot and make sure you have an Adventure Pass or you will get tagged, now you may want to bring a bike or not worry about it and walk, but it is 1.9 miles to the Trail Head from the gate. At the Trail Head N 34.37.973 X W 118.45.428, # 6N01 (you can ditch your bike up the trail a bit)you will find another gate, jump over it and you are on your way. The hike is 4 1/2 miles to the summit, I think there is one flat spot on the trail so be prepared for uphill. The trail is a good one but you will need to use your route finding abilitys, there are small rock carins as you near the summit, there are also small pieces of flagging and ribbon to keep you going the right direction. This trail has not been maintained for about 20 years, few people use it so please maintain trail manners, dont cross switchbacks,or the erosion will get worse,dont litter,and when you get to the summit please be respectful of what is left behind.

Any way when you reach the summit look under the SE corner of the structure, at the little concrete slab, you will find my typical container, Black Plastic cylinder with a rubber cap on one end, standard items inside plus, goodies ! Flashlight & Batteries, multi tool, light sticks, carabiner key chain,leash,and a hat,( if you go in summer and forget yours, plus some other stuff. OK be prepared on this one, from the first gate it's about 13 miles round trip, My partner I did it in the rain with 40lb packs, the weather can change on you quick so carry what you will need to protect yourself, bring plenty of water no matter what the season. From the second gate to the summit, with packs, a bit over 2 1/2 hours, lung burner and thigh burner, but even those not accustomed to hard hikes will love this one, go slow, enjoy it is a guaranteed MUST DO ! Plan on 1hr from the first gate to the second and 3 hrs from the second gate to the summit, spend an hour on top, refuel with the food and water you carried then head down, There is great cell service from the top. It's a Great Day Trip. Have Fun ! BIG STEVE***NOTE*** Go ahead and use the coordinates from KMSE N 34.37.975 X W 118.46.667 until I get back up to check, It was raining pretty hard, maybe I had my eyes closed. BIG STEVE
