The cache is located in the Knickerbocker Area about .11 miles
off the Olmstead loop. It is near the top of a knoll in an open
area with some piles of large rocks. There is a view of the North
Fork of the American river from the cache site.
This is an international exchange cache, to be maintained by
Species5618. As part of the exchange, I will maintain
his cache in Oslo, Norway. It's called
Xmas #2 In my Mother's Home Town. Like Species 5618 has
ties
to Norway, I have ties to California.
The cache is a military-style container, used by Norwegian
soldiers to cook and eat their
food.
It hangs in a camo steel wire, attached to a black carabiner.

The cache is visible from the down hill side of the
rocks. If
you leave the trail at the nearest trail junction you do not
need
to fight your way through the brush. You can walk around the
trees
and brush to the site if you start near the junction.
