Geocache Description:

Enjoy inchworm forest! Come at the right time of year and the forest covered with cute inchworms! Bring food, water, and a tent and have an campout! I will be making a larger cache during my next trip to this location. Bring a pen!

This is a long hike! If you know anyone with a four wheel drive vehicle, the terrain rating should go from a five to a four or even a three. If you are hiking it, enjoy the walk, but take a lot of water, as I do not think there is ANY water along the way.
Again, I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY POTABLE WATER ON THIS HIKE OR NEAR THE CACHE.
The great news:
After you find the cache, pitch a tent, enjoy a great area to have a nice evening of cooking fires and maybe some night fishing if you so desire. Make sure to bring a rain fly for your tent.
Please download all the way points and make sure to close all cattle gates securely behind you. Enjoy!

Route 1 follows the four wheel drive vehicle trail to the cache, this is the one that I marked with many way points. This route is about 10 miles round-trip.

Route 2 goes from Southpoint (where you can park, but I would really not advise leaving a car overnight, due to the fact that the area has a lot of break-ins). From Southpoint, you can hike the coast about 3.5 miles to Green Sands beach, and then continue along the coast about another 3.5-4.0 miles to this location.
This route is about 14 miles round trip.

Personally, if you are going to hike this one, I would advise you get someone to drop you off and pick you up the following day. There is some cell reception at the geocache location so you can probably call out to arrange a ride.
