This is where it really was, or so the legend goes. The road you just drove up that will continue to the Geysers was once the Stage Coach route. It's a shame that the road west of here is closed - it leads out to Geyser Peak. Along this road one could find mercury mines, astronomy platforms, FCC antennae, and beer-guzzling party spots.
The road east, which is also closed, goes up to Rattlesnake Fire Trail. We hope that the State eventually reclaims this territory and makes it into a park. Then we could all enjoy this wonderful, wild area. This cache is just a little bit off of the road, not past any fences, gates or No Trespassing signs. A bit of CITO is often necessary, since partiers seem to be incapable of carrying a bottle back to their 4x4s.
Enjoy the views, and some all-but-forgotten history. At night, watch for the UFOs!
September, 2007: Thanx to TeamAlamo & jellis50 for replacing the cache. Nice to know someone was up there CITO'ing, tho! (Oh, and the clue was a Ren & Stimpy reference - what rhymes with dog?)
April, 2022 - Thanx to Loqrotimus for replacing the cache again. The original area burned in one of the wildfires up here, so I've updated the cache page.
