Note 5-4-03: I checked on the cache
today and it is gone. I will disable the cache until I decide if I am
going to replace it or not. If you were planning on visiting this cache to
get the clue for my
Coolswag @
View Junction cache, here is the clue:

There are two parking areas/trailheads that you can use to
get to this cache. Both are on West Bernardo Drive just west of Interstate 15
and it is an easy hike or bike to the cache from either area.
The coordinates for the two parking areas are as follows:
N 33 03.121 W 117 04.588
There is good parking and trailhead access here. Watch for the
"Bernardo Bay Natural Area” sign.
N 33 03.268 W 117 04.515
This is roadside parking. Be careful where you pull off because there
are large drop-offs onto the shoulder in some places. I prefer the hike
from here as the trail takes you along the edge of the Lake.
The Kumeyaay Indians inhabited this area about 500 years ago. If you look
closely at some of the rocks in the area, you will find morteros where the
Indians ground acorns, seeds and other foods. A good example can be found
at N 33 03.316 W 117 04.863. When you have time, you may want to
hike the Piedras Pintadas (Painted Rocks) Interpretive Trail which starts
from the first parking area listed above. You can find more historical information
here
and you can find a
Piedras Pintadas Trail map here.
This cache is dedicated to those "technogeek" little kids and big kids who
love their techno-toys. The cache is in a standard ammo box with some
great initial geoswag including many techno-toys. Bring along one of your
favorite techno-toys to swap.
Note: You will
find one of the clues for my
Coolswag @
View Junction cache in
the ammo box.
Happy Geocaching
