Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Go to the first waypoint (N 37° 50.925' W 121° 55.887) to learn the location of the cache.

I set out on a nice hike today up to Oyster Point along the very pretty single-track Madrone Canyon Trail. Lots of stream action, incredible rock formations, and a ton of early wildflower blooms. So lovely! I've set off from Curry Point many times, so I missed this section of trail entirely.

Anyway, I thought I'd place a hide along the route and decided to make it a multi to highlight the trailhead option. To make it more appealing to geocaching maniacs like me, I made this one a very rare multi D/T combination. Simple to solve and then a bit of work to retrieve, but not too bad! It's only about a 10 minute trip from the trailhead and the tree climb is not outrageous.

To solve for the final, head to the back of the signage at the virtual stage (N 37° 50.925' W 121° 55.887') and answer this:

The first word of "Summer" is (A):

  • Leaves - 301
  • Fruit - 525
  • Brings - 895
  • Seeds - 521

The final word of "Winter" is (B)

  • Vines - 769
  • Brown - 330
  • Flowers - 679
  • Stems - 339

Final coords are N 37° 50.(A) W 121 55.(B)
