This is the 10th of 13 caches representing each element of the Scout Law. A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
A Scout is Thrifty, never wasting resources unnecessarily.
The neighborhoods of Silver Lake and Echo Park are renowned for their multiple stairs that connect divided sections of the neighborhood. One of such stairs is featured in this cache hunt. Echo Park, right across the street from the bottom of the stairs, is a great place for kids.
