Cascade Falls and Three Wells are found in a redwood canyon just up
the road from downtown Mill Valley - a good place after the rains
or any time of the year.
I once lived in an old house nearby the falls. The owner of the
property insisted that Marilyn Monroe and Joe Dimaggio had stayed
in the house around the time they were married. I have no reason to
believe the story, but the title of the cache is reminiscent of
Arthur Miller, who Marilyn went on to marry. According to Dan
Bern she should have married Henry Miller instead. And I do
know that my daughter was born in that house -- I walked to the
falls the morning before her birth; now she is a bit older and
likes to come here to look for candy cap mushrooms.
There is a
parking area on Cascade Drive near the falls, and it takes only a
few minutes to walk there. But one can also park near the corner of
Throckmorton Drive and find the trail (lower down on Cascade Drive)
that takes one through the Three Wells and on to the falls. In the
summer, this can provide a fun place for children to cool off. In
the winter, is a beautiful spot in its own right. If you park near
the falls, take the trail on the other side of the street to Three
Wells before you leave.
The area is a wooden canyon. My gpsr claimed a 25
foot accuracy, but if your signals vary from mine, stay on the
trail that goes above the falls to the left, and then down across
the bridge. Just past the bridge - away from the falls - is a
fallen tree (the one directly in front of you), turn right. Search
for a lock n' lock type of container in a likely spot. If the cache
is returned as it should be, the cache is not visible but it should
not be hard to find. Please return it as you found it.
