Geocache Description:

NOTE: The logging road is closed currently. You can hike up from the bottom, though. This cache, just off a logging road, provides a scenic view of the McCall area and Payette Lake. You can drive to within about 300 feet, then go for a short hike to the cache. Pay attention to the instructions below, and you might learn something new. BA?C

Have you ever taken the time to smell a Ponderosa Pine tree? (Yeah... we know... now you think we're nuts. It's OK. We won't take it personally.) Do yourself a favor and go over to the big Ponderosa that is very near this cache. Bury your nose in the bark, and take a good whiff (nobody is looking... go ahead). Amazing, huh! The scent is strongest in the summer when the sap is running, but we've smelled it in the winter too. When you log the cache, please let us know what you think the tree smells like. We're betting you'll be craving a certain type of pudding before you leave.

On your way to the cache, you'll cross a great vantage point to see Ponderosa State Park, Payette Lake, McCall, and Long Valley.

Two hints are included. The first is for the place to turn off of Warren Wagon Road. The second is for the cache.
