Happy Trails Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: I have been informed by the Project Manager of the Fort Ord Public Lands that a good faith effort has been made in contacting the cache owners whose caches are within the boundaries of the Fort Ord Public Lands by email through the geocaching.com site.

As there has been no response received from the cache owner of this Listing at the BLM office, I am interpreting this cache as abandoned property and Archiving the Listing.

If I am mistaken in my assessment, please contact me by email via the link on my Profile page and I will direct you to the BLM office to arrange how this Listing can be Unarchived in compliance with the new Geocaching Policy on the Fort Ord Public Lands.

If you have not done so already, please make arrangements to have the container removed at your earliest convenience.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Geocache Description:

You should have fun with this cache. It is in a semi-remote area of the Fort Ord Public Lands. The view from the cache site is pretty amazing on a clear day, practically a 360 degree view of the farmlands of Salinas, Monterey Bay, Mount Toro, and rolling hills of Fort Ord.

A fairly rigorous hike or mountain bike ride will be required to reach the cache location. Please make sure you give yourself enough time. You'll probably want to bring water. The hike/ride to the cache is approximately 3 miles roundtrip from the north, about 4 miles from the west and south. I've never approached from East Garrison or Laguna Seca, but you'll be in for a long day if you approach from there.

The cache is a 30mm ammo box. I have opted not to provide route information on how to reach the cache in order to help make it a bit more difficult.

When I planted the cache, it contained a stash note, log book, pen, and a number of similarly-themed toy items. The cache is pretty full, so feel free to leave nothing and take something.

I hope you enjoy it!
