PLEASE RESPECT THE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS AROUND THE OLD WHITE BUILDING!


HAAF #2 is a cigar box sized plastic box cammo'ed to blend in. It is not far off the Ocotillo walking track around the golf course.

The main issue here is that the desert has reclaimed this part of the old base. It is prickly pear heaven and teeming with things that poke, stick, sting or bite and none of them like geocachers! It is not a good cache for unattended children or animals, except maybe in the winter when most of the cranky denizens hibernate.

Depending on where you park, you will walk up to a half a mile round trip. Please don't drive on the walking track around the outside perimeter of the golf course. Easiest access is by walking along the track - cache is about 100' off the track.

Please replace the cache as you found it.

Slainte Mhath!
