This cache is located on the Stevens Creek Heritage
Preserve. This is a little-known, but great place to do some
easy to moderate hiking. Please read the Rules and
Regulations below before visiting. Also consider donating
property, funds or your time for the upkeep of this and other
heritage preserve projects
The trail is marked but make sure you mark your vehicle as a
waypoint before you start. Plan on about 2.2 miles of
hiking. If you just go straight to the cache and back, you'll
only do 1.2 miles - but it is highly recommended that you do the
entire loop. Make sure you read the trail guide below, it
will really enhance your hike. You will need to make a
decision at the little bridge at N 33°41.315 / W 82°09.635 - turn
right and head up the hill. That will get you straight to the
cache. You can go the other way, but it will be a lot longer....and
confusing. The trail is a big loop and near the cache the two legs
of the trail come within a couple of dozen feet of each other, but
also several dozen feet in vertical distance apart. If you do get
confused, note that you do NOT need to climb a near vertical cliff
to get to the cache, you need to follow the trail around until you
are on the 'high road'. Since the cache disappeared in late 2008,
it has been re-situated to be a little safer, but still use
caution, this cache is located on a steep hillside at the top of a
100+ foot cliff, use extreme caution retrieving it! Do NOT
try to retrieve this cache if the ground is icy. You do not need to
venture toward the edge of the cliff, the cache is located on the
uphill side of the clearing.
Please take a trash bag and bring out some trash - there
always seems to be some litter, especially at the trailhead area at
an otherwise pristine site.
The cache is in an ammo can. It is well concealed, so
please cover it back up.
