Geocache Description:

Sixth in a series of caches that will focus on Old Stone Structures in various states of Ruination.

This is the toughest of the Stone Ruination caches so far. The uphill hike will be about one mile one way. But the elevation gain is only 350 feet, so it is a pretty easy slope. At the site, you will find the foundation and some steps. There is also some sort of covered holes nearby. As with all the Stone Ruination caches, if you have any information about the area, please feel free to share it.

The road you will be hiking on is a CDF fire road, so do not block the gate. You never know when it may be used. The gate is sometimes open. It is not supposed to be. See the note on the gate as to who is mostly responsible for leaving it open... Also, they may be the ones to come along and lock it after you have driven up it, so I don't suggest driving in even if the gate is open.

Not recommended as a Night Hunt as it may attract unwanted attention from the Border Patrol.
