GCG4BJ Wilderness Park (Traditional Cache) in California, United States created by Team Sagefox

This cache has been archived.

Sagefox: Saturday, 4:35 pm. We are packing up now and one of my geocache boxes had room for one more ammo can so I took it as a sign that I should archive this cache. Thanks to all who visited here, especially in this new location. Great view.

But the story does not end here. A new cacher placed a container in this park a few months ago and apparently was not aware of the 528' minimum separation between caches rule. They placed too close to both of our OJ Park caches. I am attempting to help them reactivate that cache by volunteering this location if they choose to take it.

I am concerned about caching visitors this weekend since I did not give fair warning for this archive. I usually archive caches early in the week so that a Thursday PQ will not list the archived cache. If you find an ammo can at these coordinates (because there is one here now) and if that cache has not been re-activated you are welcome to log a find on this page. If they later activate the cache you can log it and delete your find here or you can ignore it and keep this one. Basically, one find only for this location and I don't care which of the two caches you log. Hopefully the new people will take me up on this offer and keep their container here... but it is up to them.

Geocache Description:

This is Fort Bragg’s "Wilderness". Otis Johnson Park. A nice woodland adventure is waiting here for you. The best parking is at the end of Laurel Street although there is a two-car paved parking area on Cedar Street too.

Park hours are 7am to 5pm through April 30th, then 7am to 8pm until October 31st.

The container is now in a new, more scenic location that overlooks Pudding Creek and the California & Western Railroad.

Take either entrance trail down to the place where the bridge used to be and then cross the stream. From here you can take any trail up the hill but the stairs will be the easiest. Once up on top any trail will eventually get you to the cache. This is a very small park and its impossible to get lost.

When you think you are getting very close you should see Pudding Creek. The creek and the tracks are visible from the cache site. The hide is intuitive. Please disguise the container when you are done.

It will take about 8 minutes to get to the site unless you stop along the way to enjoy the little streams and the redwoods. The short trails on top are delightful.

From here you can easily get over to our Snag It cache. Just work you way back to the stream gulch and stay on the north bank.
