Some geocaching groups wanted to volunteer their time to the CALTRANS adopt-a-highway project. After their application, they received the following list of areas in need of assistance.

Vallejo to Black Point
Fawnskin to Big Bear City
Oakley to Brentwood
Black Point to Novato
Westport to Fort Bragg
Orange to Garden Grove
Glendale to Wrightwood
La Habra to Brea to Yorba Linda
Oceano to Guadalupe
Yreka to Montague

Checksums:
N= Skyline Blvd. in San Mateo Co.
W= Williams to Colusa

Once you determine the cache location please note the existing virtual cache which you can get at the trailhead I recommend you use. From there it’s about 0.6 mile mostly along a paved service road and the last 550 feet on a dirt road with a medium downslope. No need to leave the road or trail until the last 20 feet. I moved the container for better cover, so once you are at the coords go about 10ft.north.
