Geocache Description:

A camo ammo box cache near a junction of hiking trails in Big Basin State Park.

I was invited to go on a birthday geocaching Skyline to the Sea hike and decided to set out some additional caches for the birthday boy and friends to find.

This cache is along the Skyline to the Sea Trail between Hihn Hammond Trail and the Canyon Trail. The cache is hidden behind "a laying of sticks" and is located near the junction of a trail that branches north from the Skyline to the Sea Trail towards the Sunset Trail.

GPS reception will be jumpy due to the tall trees and creek canyon. Search in likely spots radiating out from the trail junction post that supports a trails map.

Enjoy! And happy caching!

Note for continuing with "50sumtin's Big Basin Park HQ to Sea Baker's Dozen!", note the clue attached to the log book and then continue down the Skyline to the Sea Trail towards Berry Creek Falls to the Kelly Timms Creeks Cache.

For a nice diversion, take the Alternate Trail when you come to it. It will connect further down with the Skyline to the Sea Trail before Kelly Timms Creeks Cache and will take you through some wonderful groves.
