Not only will you find a neat cache, on this hike you'll see Indian Rock Art. The ranger at Elfin Forest told me that these rock carvings are estimated to be more than 500 years old. The views of surrounding peaks from up here are nothing short of incredible. This cache is mountain bike and on-trusty-foot accessible.
On your way to the cache, you can stop and appreciate some ancient Native American rock art. You’ll see two large, flat boulders with carvings into the stone of shapes that appear to be the sun, moon, and animals. The petroglyphs are located at N 33° 05.689 W 117° 08.497.
On to the cache! It’s hidden in chaparral, in a plastic shoe box with a white lid, covered by rocks and the leaves of a dead Yucca plant to hide the white top. Please be sure to replace the rocks and dead vegetation to hide the top.
NO BUSHWACKING AT ALL IS NECESSARY TO FIND THIS CACHE! You can walk right up to it using the existing trails.
In the cache you’ll find a bottle of water, my trusty old Kamp-King jackknife that I almost cut my finger off with when I was 11, a brand new Hotwheels, a Balance bar, a “surprise” and two GPS batteries (for emergency use only, please), logbook 2 pens.
BEST PLACE TO BEGIN
There is a gated gravel 4-wheel drive about 100 yards east and across the street from the Elfin Forest parking lot entrance heading directly up the mountain. It is posted No Trespassing, however, the property owner, Dennis, a really nice fella, has given permission for geocachers to enter on foot up that road. He asks that you keep control of your dogs and don't allow them to run free and scare quail. If you should meet him, just show him your GPS and a copy of these instructions.
Carpe Diem!
