This cache will bring you to the home of our beloved naturalist, so please take the time for a visit. Please bring your own pen.
The National Historic Site (near the cache) preserves the Victorian residence and a part of the fruit ranch where the naturalist John Muir lived from 1890 to his death in 1914. While living in Martinez, Muir laid the foundations for the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. Visitors today can tour the home, see Muir's "scribble-den" where he wrote his campaigning conservation articles and books, and stroll the orchards.
While you are in the area, don't miss the caches up on Mount Wanda, historically owned by the Muir family, where Muir used to take frequent walks with his daughters, includes the John Muir Nature Trail, featuring spring wild flowers, abundant bird life (especially the owl), and scenic vistas of the Carquinez straits.
