Your starting point for this cache hunt is the George Deukmejian
Wilderness Park in Crescenta Valley. Park in the free parking
lot and then follow the trail up. Turn left onto the Le Mesnager
loop trail.
You will pass the A Cache by gum! cache and then turn right.
Follow the trail system to the posted Rim of the Valley
Trail. The trails drops down into Cooks Canyon where
water trickles down a stream and oaks, California laurels and other
mature trees provide welcome shade.
On the way up out of the canyon you'll come to the bridge
mentioned in the cache title. The cache hiding spot is nearby.
You are looking for a small camo'd plastic jar about 2 x 2
inches. It is hidden in a natural object about five feet from the
bridge. This is a safe location to travel and is easily accessible
from the trail. This should narrow the possible locations. Decode
the clue if you get stumped and check out the spoiler pics as
well.
Please bring your own pen or pencil. please be sure that the
lid is on tight and that you replace the container exactly as you
found it, including the item used to keep it out of sight.
Also, watch out for muggles on the trail. You'll be in plain sight
as you find the cache. Other nearby caches include: A cache, by
gum, Le Mesnager Lookout, Crescenta Toyon, Trail Builders
Tribute,and the Dunsmore Canyon Trail. If you're really ambitious,
This is a great loop up to Mt. Lukens and more caches. Keep going
up the Rim of the Valley trail and then turn Right when it runs
into the Haines Canyon Fire road. On the way to the top is the Tin
Roof, Rusted Cache. Further up is an optional 1/2 mile roundtrip
detour which takes you to the Montrose Search and Rescue Team Stone
Canyon Cache. At the top, you can visit Sister Elsie's Antenna Farm
Cache and Too Much Metal Cache. It's about four miles up to the top
of the mountain. To return, go past the antenna farm along the fire
trail. After a few turns in the road, turn Right to return on the
Crescenta View Trail. On the way down, you can visit the Rock Me
Amadeus, Crescenta View, and Altared States caches. This is about a
12 mile loop (6 hours).
Have fun!
