urban_dwellers: Not really finding the time to go out here and check on or replace this one. Hopefully it's not just sitting there and folks stop looking too soon. In any case, we're going to let this one fade from the map.

Geocache Description:

Goodbye Harmony Grove

If you drove to the area on Harmony Grove Road you passed a lot of construction. That area used to be rolling hills with green grass and farms. And the road was fun. Soon that will all end.

We got to the cache area by parking at the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center at the base of the hill (check it out after your hike) and followed the Way Up Trail across Escondido Creek and headed uphill. The parking lot opens at 8am but you can park along the road outside the gate to get an early start. The elevation at the cache is 1,010 ft and about a mile up the trail. From the parking you will have climbed 518 ft in elevation.

Bring water, something to write with, and in case of an emergency a cell phone; you'll be about a mile from the car coming or going. Be sure to also bring info on the other caches in the area so you can make it a more productive hike.

Congrats to carlthepickle for FTF!
