Geocache Description:

Cache is located along the La Jolla Valley trail in Pt Mugu State Park. To get to the cache, you will need to come up either via the Chumash Trail (very steep but shortest route to cache) or the La Jolla Canyon trail (longest route but more gradual climb).

This is the first cache planted by Troop 103 (Ventura, CA). Our 2006 New Years Resolution is to "Get Out More" and today's hike was the first of many to come - plus geocaching adds an extra element of fun. We planted this cache originally on New Year's Day 2006 but it disappeared sometime during late summer. On December 30, 2006 we put together a hike to re-establish and re-activate the cache. The new location is about 10 ft from the original location so the coordinates have been updated!

Mugu Peak and the La Jolla Valley Grassland Preserve are great destinations. The cache is located along the La Jolla Valley trail. You can reach the cache via either Chumash Trail (trailhead is across from Pt Mugu Shooting Range, parking is free in the dirt lot at the trailhead) or the La Jolla Canyon trailhead (this is an offical State Park lot which charges a $4 Day Use Fee). To Mugu Peak, the trail is 5.5 miles RT via Chumash Trail or 8 miles RT from La Jolla Canyon trailhead. The ocean views from the top of Mugu Peak are awesome!

UPDATE 12/30/2006. We re-activated the cache today. It is well stocked with goodies and offers a reward for the the next FTF. Besides the log book, we ask fellow geocachers to also sign the Geo Baseball which we will retrieve and exhibit when it is covered with signatures. Since our original hike on 1/1/2006, there are a bunch of new caches placed in the area. A geocacher with a love for a good hike will have a great time up here! Our TroopMugu2 is just up the trail from this one...

The joy of this and the other caches in the area is the hike itself - so getting here is the hard part, finding the cache is the easy part.

P.S. If you liked this hike, go after my TroopSisar and TahitiEast caches in beautiful Sisar Canyon! Take a dip at the waterfall!
