Geocache Description:

Located near the peak of Los Piños.

View from Cache Well, I've staked my claim to another peak !  Los Piños Peak is the fourth highest summit in the Santa Ana Mountains.  (My first peak claimed by a 'cache is Bedford Peak Stash , which is also a boundry line vertex between Orange and Riverside Counties.)  The day I placed this 'cache, the clouds were rolling in like thick fog, so there was almost no view.

I recommend hiking to this location because only the most serious mountain bikers will enjoy parts of this trail.
Cache contents
The original contents of the cache were:
  • Cool blue Whistle
  • Hot pink Compass
  • Soccer ball ping-pong ball
  • Soccer / Basketball / Baseball / Football Key chain
  • Yellow camera lens filter
  • Two tokens
  • One Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin
  • Logbook and pen
all in an ammo can.

The place I parked required a Wilderness Parking Pass,  coordinates: N33º39.711  W117º26.891, which made for a rough and rocky 5.2-mile round trip hike.
