This cache is located near the bottom of the "AT&T" trail, aptly named for its access to the underground phone lines that parallel Highway 4. I first noticed this interesting location while on a hike from Bear Valley, across the highway, and then on some lesser known trails all the way down to the Stanislaus River.
This tree shows the superb power of lightning when up against a full grown Jeffrey Pine. The tree didn't even stand a chance.
Feel free to wander further up the trail and admire some of the Jeffries that are still alive... more caches coming soon along this route!
