Geocache Description:

Find a cache hidden near a bench located in a more conventional place , no need to take the stone construction apart! (Bring your own pen)

March, 2012 Note: This cache has been replaced and moved because the original vanished. Because of that, FTF is up for grabs again, as well as finding it, again, so you can earn another smiley for the same GC number, if you want

This is the third cache I've placed along the trails near Rainbow Blue. There are several other caches in the area, a number of them by the agouracharger (infamous in caching circles ). There are also some spectacular views to be seen. If you look at these coordinates on Google Earth, you will see a photo of the bench, and its view, which was how I found it

Scott & Jeff (of Rainbow Blue) suggest that you use the service road on Glastonbury (one place to park, below). Do not bushwhack. I used another place to park (below) when I replaced it. Bring lots of water, sunscreen and always us caution when reaching into bushes and under rocks.
This area is unimproved Open Space , and the trails are not maintained. Experience suggests long pants, a stick and hiking boots (and even long sleeves if you're going after some of the other caches - I got the scratches to prove it)

*****Congratulations to Big Eagle for FTF *****

No FTF prize the second time around but ther is a trackable to move along, and thanks to hikeNheels for letting me use their container
Happy Caching! A cache a day keeps the doctor away

 [Note: ELEOS stands for East Lake Eleanor Open Space ]
Feedback is always appreciated on the difficulty/terrain ratings, cache descriptions, etc - thanks.
