Geek Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ghamerly: I have removed this cache for the time being, since a local parks ranger contacted me and asked me to remove it. Apparently it was in an unsuitable location. I'm not sure when I will be able to re-establish this cache, since we don't live in California anymore. However, we will be back, and we will attempt to set up the cache again in a suitable area.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located on Palomar Mountain in San Diego, off of a trail in Palomar Mountain State Park.

CACHE HAS BEEN REPLACED, MOVED, AND RESTORED WITH NEW COORDINATES (June 17, 2006). Thanks to all who offered help.

Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to find the general area of this cache. It's in the state park, off of a trail a little ways. This is a geek cache, meaning there are lots of things in here a geek could love.

Getting to the general area should be easy; actually locating the cache may be tricky.

Ivy and I placed this while it was snowing on the mountain -- we cross-country skied there and back. While you're here, visit Palomar Mountain Observatory during open hours for a tour of a very cool telescope.

The spoiler info below gives away the place to park and trail to take. You shouldn't need it, but just in case.
