Not the highest mountain in
the area but has a view of Rancho Bernardo, Del Mar, Lake Hodges,
Bernardo Mt., Battle Mt., and Mt. Woodson. On a clear day you can
actually see the Ocean.
You could Picnic on the big flat rock in this area near the
cache or go South on the trail to the Summit. You should be able to
see the flagpole from the trail. If you go that direction be sure
to sign the Summit log attached to the flagpole. There may be
another cache South of the Summit.
In the evening you may see some Hot Air Balloons coming
towards you from Del Mar.
The trailhead we used was SE of the cache. Accessible via a
utility access road (see hint). I think this trail provides the
best views. There is another trailhead South of the cache.
When I had the Shutterbug Cache I hid it just 15' North of
one of these trail heads. If you can figure out where I hid the
Shutterbug cache, when I had it, you will find the SE trail. If you
find another trail please let us know.
The trails are narrow near the cache but require no
bushwhacking. You may have to step over some low brush when you are
very close to the cache. Long pants suggested. Water
Recommended.
We tried to put some nice goodies in this cache. We used a
gift card we nabbed from a Rocket Man cache to purchase some of the
item for this cache. We were also lucky enough to grab the last
Official Geocaching sticker for the outside of the can, from a
Jaxxom cache, while waiting for ours to arrive. So my thanks to
Rocket Man and Jaxxom.
Hope you enjoy our first cache and the views from this
site.
