Geocache Description:

This is an easy cache to find. No rock climbing or moving rocks. Just off a dirt road.

This cache is a little part of history. The crossroad at N 34°27.889 W 117°07.241 is the crosshair for an old bomb site. From the air the geometric lines around the cross hairs are visible including an octagon and several squares. As I understand, this area was used for bombing practice during World War II. They would drop bomb shells packed with flour and the flour would give the visual indication of how well they would hit their mark. Hopefully you'll have time to walk around the area and try to pick out some of geometric lines around the bomb site. Check out the Benchmark "Tuna" just around the corner. Its an easy find. I had to relocate the cache due to the first one being taken.
