Geocache Description:

2-part multi in Trabuco Canyon near the Holy Jim parking area.


On the day after Thanksgiving, alohAJ and I headed to Trabuco Canyon to find GCAB Orange County Stash (V3.0). The parking lot was full, so we had to park a little bit west of the Holy Jim volunteer fire station along the road. As we walked past the fire station over to the trailhead, we noticed the flagpole with several commemorative plaques around its base. Read the plaques to derive the final coordinates.

N 33 40.ABC W 117 31.DEF

A = # of letters in the first name of the person Whose heart was in the hills

B = # of letters in the last name of the Sage Of The Canyons

C = # of letters in first name of A True Friend of the Canyons

D = # of letters in the first name of the person who Was A Friend To All

E = Line number that contains the words Sun and Moon on the Cabin Owners Improvement Association plaque

F = Total # of letters in the first and last names of The Mountain Man

A+B+C+D+E+F checksum = 30

Container is a camo'd PB jar. An Adventure Pass is required to park in the USFS lot just east of the fire station. Non-pass parking is also available nearby. T rating is mainly for the unpaved dirt road you will need to travel to get to both locations; once at each location, T is more like 1.5 or 2 at most.
