A Sign of the Times Traditional Cache
ZenBabes: The cache is a victim of the storms we had this winter and some updating of signage throughout the park.
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This cache is located in El Moro Canyon in Crystal Cove State Park, near our favorite viewing spot on our favorite local trail. We placed the cache so mountain bikers could get a great ride and hikers could do the round trip in less than a couple of hours. The terrain rating is based on the most direct route to the cache.
This cache has been approved by the rangers because you do NOT need to bushwhack to get to it. In fact, your feet should not touch any plants when retrieving this cache. Please think before you step to keep geocaching a welcomed activity in the park.
We ride the ridge loop of El Moro Canyon clockwise for an exquisite 9 miles of what we love about mountain biking--short, technical hills; long, grinding hills; singletrack; great views; and after pushing hard mentally and physically for most of the ride you crest the ridge, feel the cool ocean breeze, and yippee-ki-ai down a fast downhill that you swear will drop you right the Pacific Ocean. It is the physical manifestation of pure joy.
The cache is 3.7 miles from the ranger station using the most direct route. It’s 5.1 miles from the ranger station if you ride our favorite ride. It’s anything in between depending on what your favorite trail is. Hikers, watch out for the many mountain bikers you’ll see (unfortunately, not all them are as nice as we are on the trail but we’re working on that).
The cache (an Altoids tin) originally contained:
Homie
K&S monkey 125
Marble
2 foreign coins
Pin from a 5K run in Duluth, MN
#1 pin
Logbook and pencil
Email us if you need more directions for the ride. Parking is $5 and there is a picnic area near the parking lot and near the cache. If you’re up for another cache, check out Why We Ride--Relocated. Have fun!
