Geocache Description:

This cache will lead you strait up a creek from one dam to the next.

**NOTE** If you park at the waypoint and walk in through the parking lot you are in an area that a nearby hotel uses for valet parking and if it is during work hours they may give you a hard time (if someone is present at the time) but the trail through the cache itself is through a creek bed that IS NOT in private property.. so if need be, skirt the parking lot to keep the employees off your back. However, I have been out here many times and have yet to be bothered by employees, if you are, simply point to the other side and keep on trekking, you should not have any problems. Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!

Your journey will begin through a parkiing lot but will quickly lead you down a path and to your first small dam. You will travel the entire way in a creek bed that will limit your GPS signal (until the final spot that is) so use the clue for the first leg if you need it.

I left the coords for the final cache "hanging" around, once you find them you will be back on your way up stream.

You may find yourself starting this trek trying to keep your feet from getting wet but chances are you will be at least knee deep before its over so you might as well quit trying to stay dry early.

The terrain gets increasingly difficult so be prepared for that if you bring small ones or dogs.

Way to go Muggle Family on the FTF and I didnt even notice the sign when I placed it, thanks for pointing that out too!!!
---------------------------UPDATE------------------------------------
NOTE Everyone I have taken to GZ for the final container gets different whacky coordinates and most GPSs iPhone, 60Csx, Colorado... cant get a good lock from this location, so i have updated the encrypted stage 2 hint below to try to make the find a little easier once you have "earned" your way up to GZ. The new clue includes refined grids strait to the final but the only way to really get there is to follow the path that the multi would have led you on so i recommend still taking that trek!
