This cache is placed along the Three Lakes Trail which can be accessed from Sunken Mine Road. The parking coordinates are for a lot at the north end of Sunken Mine Rd that is about ½ mile from the trail head. During the summer you can also park in one of several individual spaces along Sunken Mine Road, which is dirt but mostly well graded. The title of this cache is derived from a song about summer.
This cache is a multi whose first stage is placed in a location that will be very familiar to most geocachers, but with a twist as the container contains no log but provides coordinates to the actual cache location, a short distance away. The cache there is a small lock-and-lock.
