Geocache Description:

On Puerto Suello Hill


I've driven past this hill thousands of times since I began geocaching but only recently began considering making a hide up here.  Though there are probably better ways to get up here, I started at the north end of Villa Ave at a newly erected trail sign*, parking just south of a fire hydrant.  I followed trails for a while, then bushwhacked through some very thick broom and finally made a summit.  As always, a fire road (Scettrini?) was the reward for my effort.

To the north of where I emerged from the broom, the view was a bit obscured.  I tried further south and found a point where there were nice eastern and southern vistas*.  So,  the cache is within 50 feet of the vistas at the lonely bay tree*.  I was thinking about hiding it in the tree, but there is a bit of PO to the east of it.  I arranged a geopile of local materials instead.

* see Gallery

The coordinates should be pretty good.  I've put pictures of the vistas and bay tree in the gallery as spoilers.
