The phrase "Seeing the Elephant" began to be commonly used by the hundreds of thousands of emigrants and gold seekers who made the difficult and perilous 2000 mile covered wagon journey to California between 1841 and 1869. It referred to the challenges, terrible hardships, and life-threatening dangers they faced during their long three month journey and in the gold fields that were difficult to describe.
On the way to the California Trail Interpretive Center, it's easy to overlook wildlife in the area. Keep your eyes open though since you never know what may be flying around.
This cache is only available during the business hours of the California Trail Interpretive Center as the gate is closed at other times. It has been placed with permission, and the employees know its location. There may be many muggles around at various times though, so use caution... Please be respectful of the area. Take time to visit the Center and see the elephant! Find out more at http://www.californiatrailcenter.org/.
