Geocache Description:


The devil went down to Moorpark, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind and he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man cachin' with a GPSr and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a geocacher too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good geocache, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a GPSr of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Signal and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."
 
Signal you rosin up your hiking stick and search for that cache hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Moorpark and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny GPSr made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.
 
The devil opened up his cachin' case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he got out his bison tube.
And he pulled the tube across the GZ and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it was hidden so cachers were forced to miss.
When the devil finished, Signal said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But sit down in that chair, right over
 there, and let me show you how its done."
 
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
Geocachin' in the house of the risin' sun.
Altoids in the tin, pickin' out mints.
"Signal, did you find the log, yet?"
"FTF! It was a cinch!."
 
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden GPSr on the ground at Signal's feet.
Signal said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"cause I told you once, you son of a gun, I'm the best cacher there's ever been."
 
And he played fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Altoids in the tin, pickin' out mints.
"Signal, did you find the log, yet?"
"FTF! It was a cinch!.
 
 
 
This is a two stage cache located in a large park that at times can be heavy with muggles. Stealth is required at stage one.  Stage two may have teenage muggles since it looks like a party or two has swept through here.  You will want to bring your own writing utensil.
 
The listed coordinates will take you to the first stage where you will find the coordinates to the final location - where you can cache with the devil.  I would suggest parking next to the first stage.  There is a lot of parking here.
 
Stage two will take you on a short jaunt uphill.  There are two trails that form a "loop" to the top of the hill, but only one is near the cache.  I suggest going to the top before/after as there is a nice view of Moorpark.  I didn't see any snakes or dangerous animals, but please be cautious.
 
Please replace both stages as you found them for the enjoyment and challenge of others.
 
Enjoy!  Have fun!  Let's go Geocaching!
