While on our trip from Southern California to Washington
state
for GeoWoodStock 8, we took some trips off the Interstates
to explore some of the local towns and local caches.
We had this stop specifically planned as this is the ONLY county
seat
in the state of California without a cache IN TOWN. We stopped to
correct
that late at night during our trip to Wash.
