Geocache Description:

An easy pleasant walk along a creek to a small dam and man-made cave.

You can park on Range Park Road near the creek. The trail starts where there is a chain hung between two posts. It’s about a 2.3 mile round trip from there on a relatively level trail. There are other ways to get to the cache area, but this is the easiest way. During very wet winters, you will have to do some rock hopping or get your feet wet crossing the creek. After the trail crosses the creek, you will go uphill slightly and circle around the base of a hill. Soon you will see a stone dam across the creek. If you look at the base of the hill northwest of the dam, you will see a small round hole. This hole is the entrance to a cave carved out of the rock in the hill. I have asked around, but unfortunately no one I talked to knew the history of the dam and the cave. If anyone reading this knows anything about them, please send us an email. The cave usually has candle stubs in it that the local kids leave. Sadly, the last time we were there, someone had drunk a case of beer and left the cans all over. So if you can bring a trash bag with you and do a cache-in, trash-out it would be greatly appreciated.

To get to the cache, you need to go a little further up the trail beyond the dam. You might have to do a very small amount of bushwhacking. Watch out for rattlesnakes in this rocky area. The cache is an ammo box containing an assortment of swag.

We did have a problem getting our GPS to settle on a location, so let us know if you find that our coordinates need to be revised.
