Geocache Description:


A short 7.5 mile trip off of I-80 will bring you to the top of Signal Peak where you will find this cache. The views from the top are pretty spectacular. Elevation is about 7800 ft.
A short walk from the cache will bring you to an abandoned fire lookout that was once used to spot fires in the snowsheds along the railroad that can be seen below you.


The road up is dirt and I'm going to recommend 4 wheel drive, but nothing special is needed. I think most SUV's with some ground clearance will do ok. The road may be closed during the snow season.

To get there you will need to take the Cisco Grove exit off of I-80 and enter Forest Route 85 at N39°18.729', W120°32.657'. Stay on the well traveled road. There are some signed intersections/forks along the road on your way up. Always bear to the left and when you reach N39°20.677', W120°30.460' turn left to make the final climb up. The road becomes more narrow and a little rocky now. This is where you will want to shift into four wheel drive. Park at N39°20.281', W120°32.208' and walk a very short distance to the cache. Be sure to walk a bit further and check out the lookout.

As with any dirt road there is always a chance that it may be temporarily closed during periods of heavy rain, snow, or due to erosion during the winter months.

You will be looking for an ammo can.

Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the cache is doing. If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates with your log, so that I can make any necessary adjustments.

Above all, have fun, and enjoy the views.
