Geocache Description:

"This is your Captain speaking.  Folks we appreciate your patience during that long climb out of San Diego.  We've now reached our assigned cruising altitude.  The fasten seatbelt sign has been turned off so feel free to wander about."



Everytime I walk up this hill from the parking lot below it is a joy to reach this spot and level off for a bit.  This climb used to be a psych-out but now it's just a necessary obstacle before the real hiking begins.

The cache was placed so it can be accessed from the road.  You don't need to go tromping on the vegetation.  Please place it back as you found it.  When replacing please make sure it is at least out of sight.  No room for a pen or pencil so please bring one along to log your visit.

We got here by parking in the dirt lot at the top of La Honda Drive.  Then follow the paved Ranch House Road until the long climb ends.  Grab a trail map at the parking lot info kiosk if you need one.

Bring water, something to write with, and in case of an emergency a cell phone; you'll be about a quarter mile from the car coming or going.  Be sure to also bring info on the other caches further along the way and in the area so you can make it a more productive hike.  And check out Frank's Daley Ranch Roundup Challenge.

Congrats to carlthepickle for FTF!
