This cache is in an area with the typical bay area oak trees, but there are some pines too. Container is about 2 to 3 quart size. This cache is fairly well protected from poison oak exposure.
UPDATE: Since this cache was placed the poison oak has spread. Be a boy scout...that is, BE PREPARED. Also, it's a bit of a hike, but that's all *subjective* isn't it?
