Geocache Description:

Also remembered as "Danny's Golden Adventure," but you had to be there for the ride.


Today, My Dal Leo and I joined Railroader921 for a nice hike up to the nearby "Ocean Rain" cache. Afterwards we had to decide whether to turn back to the trailhead or continue on in further exploration. We continued on, eventually coming to this very fine spot which I'm told is called "Goodale Valley."

Our next question was whether to return to the trailhead, or take a more direct route down the hill to a local friend's house, who could give us a ride back to our parking spot. Uncertain about a trail connection down we nevertheless embarked on what I fondly termed "Danny's Golden Adventure." The "Golden" part referred to a gold bison tube he hid along the Great Western Trail. The "Adventure" part referred to what followed.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, it does appear there's a local trail connection down the hill. In fact, it might be a very convenient shortcut for you to this cache. I had to look at satellite images afterwards, but they show that a trail up from the end of Nordic Valley Way does eventually connect to the ridge along the GWT. I've included those waypoints for others who wish to give them a go.

The cache is a cammoed decon at the base of a twisted oak.
