"Not All Who Wander Are Lost" is a series of caches that may be out of the way but should be worth the trip. The caches in the series require you to explore locations after the pavement ends. Many of the caches have unique containers, high rated terrain, and not your typical attributes.

There are tons of places to hide a cache in this valley. I provided a parking waypoint just off Murphy Drive. It is a maintained dirt road, cars shouldn't have any problem (except maybe a Prius).
From parking, bushwhack about 30 yards into the dry creek bed. (Also provided a waypoint for possible Trail Tree) The creek bed has a couple drops to scramble down. Be prepared for loose rocks and flowing water if it rained recently. You should be able to make it to GZ without getting wet. At GZ you will see a giant maple tree leaning towards a 50ft cliff. Getting accurate coordinates are tough in the valley with tree cover, especially by the cliff.
You are looking for a mini ammo can. Be prepared to climb on loose rocks, some may be slick from moss and water dripping from above. The photo below will help you narrow your search.
Please take time to properly re-hide the cache so the next cacher can enjoy the hunt.
Teamwork is recommended for safety.
Photos are encouraged, no spoilers.
