Geocache Description:

Placed an easy-peasy park 'n grab here to pay tribute to this tributary...

In my youth, I spent many summers vacationing on Bass Lake with family and friends. Suffice it to say, this place holds many found memories for me… this spot in particular. When we were kids we would pull our boat up into this north fork cove and climb up the rocks to go slippin' and slidin' on these Willow Creek waterfalls.


I was recently up in the Oakhurst area for work. In order to create some new fond memeories, I of course had to squeeze in some geocaching! I was saddend when I came looking for GCMJ21, Double falls, and found it missing...

Without enough details of the original hide, I was unfortunatley unable to simply replace the oldie. So again I decided to pay tribute, this time to mountain travler, by hiding a new geocache that will bring people back to this great ground zero!

In 2005, mountain travler left us with this desciption of GZ:

A easy magnetic sign only micro.

These 2 small waterfalls were first descriped in writing in 1851 by Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, M.D. a member of the Mariposa Battalion as they searched for Mono Indians in an effort to move them to a reservation near Fresno Flats. At that time California Grizzly Bears roamed this area. Now it's animals of another breed who roam here, especially during the summer months! As a youngster I remember a very busy, and rowdy at times, restaurant, bar and dancehall just across the creek. The cache is a sign only micro that will take a little searching to locate. You do not need to stand in the road to locate the cache. Control small chrildren as the road can be VERY busy. The trail up the creek accesses other caches.
