Geocache Description:

First in a series to get your feet onto the Pacific Crest Trail

PCT 1 is located about halfway into the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) between the Mexican Border and Morena Reservoir.
It'll be a full 20 mile day hike, or you can camp along trail and make it in two days.
Check out Roamin' Joe on the PCT at www.roaminjoe.freeservers.com

My caches are easy to find, I just ask that you "Get Out There!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above cache description is the original description provided by roaminjoe, the original hider of this cache. I replaced the muggled cache on Feb 5, 2007, and accepted adoption.

If you'd like to take a shorter hike to the cache, park at the end of Hauser Creek Rd, but do not block the gate nor any of the local residents' right of way. Follow the dirt road around the bend for about a hundred feet and head west to N32 39.399 W116 31.824. You should be able to spot the trail due south and straight up the mountain. There is some zig-zagging in the middle but you should hit the PCT at N32 38.931 W116 31.684. Elevation gain will be about 700 feet and 3.4 miles roundtrip. The trail is overgrown in areas; you will be low-crawling, boulder climbing and bushwhacking. You should be OK with shorts, but your torso will be making alot of contact with overgrowing branches.

The cache is on the ground in a cubby created by a flat'ish 2X3-foot rock.

I will quote roaminjoe, "Get Out There!"
