A cache in the trails of Turtle Rock in Irvine. We were surprised that this great set of trails was not yet home to a cache. We hope that this one will inspire many more!
Inspired by a cache container found in "Mama Cache as Cache Can", my geofamily and I decided that the trails of Turtle Rock deserved a cache. It is a peanut butter bottle sized cache, neatly camouflaged by the kids while I was at work today.
While there are miles of trails spiderwebbing the area, and this cache is accessible from many directions, the easiest place to start is a school parking lot located at N 33 37.997 W 117 48.767. Once you park, look straight ahead - to the top you will go!
There are 122 steps from the parking lot (counted proudly by my kids!), and then a fairly steep and rocky hike to the top. While it is somewhat challenging, our 4, 5, and 7 year olds were with us to place the cache, so it is definitely manageable with kids. Wear sturdy shoes.
My 7 year old, being the experienced (25 or so finds) cacher that she is, spotted the mighty nifty hiding spot that the cache currently resides in.
Enjoy!
