Geocache Description:

This cache is located along the South Fork of the American river on BLM land between Pilot Hill and Coloma in the heart of the Mother Lode.

Parking is available in the vicinity of: N38°49.591' W120°56.949'.
Follow the trail down to the river.
It is a less than 1 mile (each way) moderate hike (some uneven ground) from the gate to the cache.
No need to bushwhack just follow the trails along the river until you are within 50 feet of the cache.
You can see the cache without moving anything but you will have to look hard and you will have to move something to open the cache. Try and put things back the way you found them.
Bring your swimsuit, gold pan and a picnic lunch. If you are so inclined.

This beach is well know to Rafters and Kayakers but lightly used by hikers and fishermen.
You will see lots of people in the summer when the river is up and the rafts are running.
Dogs are not a problem (Hear that Robbie?) and there is a restroom near the cache.
If you use the restroom near the cache you may find out why they call this Phoenix beach.

The Cache is in a green ammo box (5.5" x 11" opening & 6.75" deep) with plenty of room for travel bugs.

Frodo & the Cache on the way to be hidden

Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the cache is doing.
If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates with your log.
So I can make adjustments if necessary.

No more boring log entries.
Hey folks how about leaving a log entry that tells me something about finding this geocache or about your day of geocaching? We are all guilty of the old cut and paste but how about something more than "Good cache TNLNSL TFTC" on 10+ caches in one day? We cache owners like to hear about your experiences. It gives us a feeling of being there when we can't be, how the cache is doing, and it lets us get to know you in a virtual kind of way. That doesn't mean it has to be long just not boring.
Remember the cache owners and anyone with a watch on the cache will read your log, how about making it interesting.
We Thank You.
