Geocache Description:

A very scenic walk along a well marked trail then a shorter walk thru a meadow. Terrain is level to slightly hilly, but easy with shade trees along the way.

Our meadow is located on the former Roberts and Ellis ranches, adjacent to I-8 and Japatul Valley Road. The ranches were once slated for housing, but a group from the Descanso area rallied and raised funds to purchase the property, now open to the public. Trail access is just before the CalTrans station via a pipe horse gate in the wire fence. You will travel on an old roadbed north across a flat, then up thru dense oak woodland. The meadow is the prize here, it's dotted with statuesque Engleman oaks.
If you walk all the way across the meadow, you'll find the remnants of a century-old ditch designed (but never used) to shunt water from Pine Valley Creek into the San Diego River drainage.
Originally the cache contained: Legends of Flight puzzle, mini screw driver combo, new eye loupe, caribeaner, new hot wheels truck, bundle of wire ties, bubbles, beach ball and a mini cache container to take.
I hope you enjoy this place as much as we do.
