Geocache Description:

This cache is meant to be an easy find, although you may need a TOT to retrieve the log from it's container. The find isn't necessarily the treasure when you locate this cache, its the view. In one direction you have a  beautiful hillside to look at, the other, a beautiful vineyard. 

This cache was put in this particular spot because it is next to the first vineyard in the beautiful Hayes Valley. The drive out to this locale is beautiful as well. The history of the area now known as San Martin began in 1844 when a pioneer named Martin Murphy traveled with his wife and children from Iowa to California by wagon. Murphy led the first expedition of pioneers over the Sierra-Nevada mountain range. Murphy purchased a 9,000 acre parcel, which is now considered San Martin. The winery you are looking at is still owned by the Murphy family. This cache is here to help us remember what this valley used to be and what it is today.
