This is a portion of Folsom Lake that has, for the most part, been overlooked by geocaching. It is a quiet grove of beautiful Sierra Live Oaks, with the waves of the lake rolling the decomposed granite back and forth on the beach, sparkling gold with flecks of iron pyrite. It is a serene spot with extraordinary views of the lake to the east and the valley floor to the west but to the north and south are two long, craggy piles of broken granite and earth formed to contain the lake at its higher levels. Such a contrast. Much the same as this two part multi-cache.
The first part of this cache, the silk purse, is delicate enough to fit in the palm of your hand and elusive enough to make you pull your hair out. It earns all four stars. The second part, the sow’s ear, is the size of an ammo can and contains all the typical trading trinkets. It should be as easy to spot as a sow in a barnyard.
