Cantankerous Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
An easy cache--we thought it was going to be a nice hike, but later discovered it can be driven almost right to--thus the name, which describes the wife's mood after a 15-minute hike straight up the mountain side in the dark and the rain, packing the cache can the whole way.
GPS should take you right there--if you have the vehicle, aim for the uphill fork and drive almost to the cache. Stay right if you want a pleasant hike with great views.(Park at the water heater tank--or end of the road.) Not too long, but pretty steep, and might pose a challenge in slick conditions if you're not properly shod.
Original cache contents:
logbook/pen/pencil/sharpener
Original First Finder geo-patch (courtesy of Desert(B)Rats and Thredworks.com)
First Finder's custom keychain
A Day Late & A $ Short TB for the 2nd finder
Cera TB, who wants to see prehistoric places
an illuminated PROtractor
a magenta amateur tractor
a pink tarantula
Hot Wheels car
Santa super ball
magnetic mirror
jingle-bell earrings
a nut driver, in case the kids aren't managing to drive you nuts
Mardi Gras beads
miniature rainbow slinky
We tried to place this out of the poison oak clusters, and the access is all USFS roads in pretty good shape, even in the rain. This one is probably all-season, but might be a bit tough in a blizzard.
