Geocache Description:


This cache is located on a very cool geologic rock formation that is visible from a long distance, and is also visible on the satellite imagery. This cache used to be a Mystery that was solved by triangulating between multiple pairs of existing geocaches located within the Rincon hills area to create a polygon that was small enough to allow a “fuzzy” solver to work. But that approach was getting increasingly more difficult to maintain as older caches were being archived. Hence, I archived the Mystery and made this Traditional, because the location is a good destination. GZ is reached via an off-official-trail hike, but mapped trails, old hiking trails, game trails, stream beds and other logical routes can be followed to make the way not too bad. I would suggest wearing long slacks (although the brush is not bad at all) and using hiking sticks for stability.
