Geocache Description:




THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES . . .
but . . . it is a good place to start.






The cache is hidden off the trail, but if you don't start following your GPSr arrow as soon as it starts turning, the bushwhacking isn't bad.

Near the cache is an old mine that looks very intriguing, but use caution if you decide to investigate it.



From a distance, you can see the mine opening clinging to the side of the steep hill.

Mt. Miguel, as seen from the mine entrance.


The views from the mountain are fantastic on a clear, Santa Ana-type day.

Enjoy!

Parking is available by following Hidden Trail/Hidden Wood/Hidden Ridge.
