Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to honor the special treasure of having and keeping safe our State Parks and their inhabitants. Briefly this cache was called "Spooky" State Park Treasure and was loaded with Halloween surprises.

To get to this cache you can approach from several different trails. You may want to pick up a trail map. Closest parking is from Graham Hill Road, Henry Cowell State Park, south entrance to Pipeline Road -OR- start at the Powder Mill Trailhead from the Graham Hill Rd parking. Coming from Powder Mill Trail you can pick up "Big Ole Steps" along the way, and afterwards find our new "The Livestrong Trip", all three on Powder Mill Trail.

- Keep on the trails until your gps says you are at least 50’ from the cache before leaving the hard pack equestrian trail . Your satellite lock will not be good so a little owl has been posted in the clearing to show you entered in the correct place. You should see him easily from a bushy south side trail. Please do not let children handle the owl, so it will be there to guide others. There is no poison oak in this area that I could find.
- Look for a cache big enough for a racoon to sleep in, so after you find it PLEASE fasten the lid tightly.
- Be watchful of occasional horseback riders and hikers that may see or hear you. The cache site is somewhat in view of the trail.

This is your opportunity to leave LARGE trade items and Travel Bugs! The log book items are in a ziploc bag with the smaller treasures.
