DO NOT WEAR SHORTS on this hike, there are scratchy thing that WILL get you.
As the name implies the destination and the cache are all on the surface. The initial coord.will get you to a gate, most of the year it remains open, if it's locked you can hike or mountain bike the route but it's a bit of a stretch. Reset your gps with the following coords. N 34.37.146 X W 118.35.686,in 2.7 miles, these will get you to a crossroads of three roads, 7N13.2,7N13,6N321, you will need to take the Road Less Traveled, ( thats a clue ),the first 50' of this road has Tank Traps, two mounds of dirt across the road, I wouldnt try to cross them with a Honda Civic, but a pick up or subaru type of vehicle will do fine, the tops of both mounds have been flattened down pretty good so short wheel bases are the way to go, I went in in a full size, crew cab, long bed, thats how I know the tops are pretty flattened, I did most of it, anyway the road beyond is an easy drive in the family truckster, set your gps again for the trail head to N34.37.671 X W118.35.040, when you get there park out of the road, you will see the trail, reset one more time to N34.37.711 X W118.35.562, plan on about 1hr of easy walking but you will be busting some brush, this trail hasnt seen any use in more than 25 years, when you get to the destination the cache is right in the open, in the middle of a yucca, be gentle or you will get stuck,the container is a black plastic cylinder, 4" dia. X 15" long with a rubber cap on one end, inside the usual plus a couple of stuffed toys,airplane glider and a carabiner key chain. When you get there spend some quiet time, there is a "seep" nearby, below the cache loc., and you may encounter some of the local wildlife. As always be prepared, bring water, snacks, and additional clothing as the weather dictates, dont wear anything on your belts that can get pulled off by the brush, you will lose it, and when you get back to the car do a tick check. Above all have fun ! BIG STEVE
