Geocache Description:

An easy to moderate hike in Malibu Creek State Park. Approximately 3 miles round trip, through the pre-governor Ronald Reagan Ranch land. Equal amounts of sun and shade.
From the trail head parking on Mulholland drive take the Look Out trail to the Yearling trail to the Deer leg trail
Parking:N 34 06.311 W 118 43.902 From inside the park access the Look-Out trail near Century Lake.

Miss Tickle, the local medicine woman, was asked by the sheriff to help track suspected cattle rustler and bank robber P. Whew Heffer. Although often regarded as touched or eccentric, she did have a reputation as an excellent tracker. Her tracking methods, however, proved to be a bit too odd for the sheriff so he left her and went his own way and Miss Tickle went hers.

Follow Miss Tickle’s peculiar advice. (Your cords will sketchy because of the canopy) then write down the scrambled sentence clues at #1,2&3. Put the clues together and along with #4, good luck “Finding Heffer” GCNAKE
Do the caches in sequence 1,2,3,4.

"This ending of the trail is also the start, but you need to know this before you depart; at the next stream crossing the trail divides, do you cross over? Or follow its side? Stop and ask Brother Oak, he really is friendly folk.
He won’t talk much to you and I, but as for the truth his eyes won’t lie.
With your back to the rock, your presence he’ll hear, search his trunks and he’ll soon appear."

Cache Contents: Leaves, Bark, ants, worms, beatles, charcoal, birds, worms.
Log book is at your feet.
