Small cache near parking and at a trail head to
More Mesa used by horseback riders and hikers.
Cache is NOT on private property -- no need to cross any
fences.
Parking available where Puente Drive meets Via Huerto.
Watch for muggles on horseback and on foot!
In case the cache isn't easy to retrieve, I've left a small TOTT
nearby to help you coax out the cache. Please return it to the same
spot.

Via Huerto is a trailhead for one entrance to
More Mesa. The greater More Mesa ecosystem includes approximately
400 acres of coastal bluff, grasslands, wetlands, coast live oak
and riparian woodlands. The ecosystem includes the Mesa itself, and
extends north into the oak and riparian woodlands in the area along
Atascadero Creek. The heart of this ecosystem is the 300+ acre
coastal bluff, consisting largely of a level terrace vegetated with
non-native grassland, and bisected by two large canyons. More
Mesa’s extensive grasslands, combined with diverse woodland
and wetland habitats, support a wide range of wildlife, especially
birds, including sensitive raptors and other grassland dependent
species. Because of the variety and quality of the environment,
More Mesa is recognized by the State and County as a regionally
significant wildlife habitat for several sensitive bird species.
More Mesa’s varied habitats also support a range of mammal,
reptile, and amphibian species, including rare or declining species
such as the silvery legless lizard and western pond
turtle.
