Geocache Description:

Small Regular cache. Just off lower Painted Cave road. Easy walk.

This is the first in a series 3-5 caches I plan to place at old home sites in the Los Padres forest behind Santa Barbara They have all been abandond over the years for various reasons. Often there is little left behind to show that they were ever there. There are clues, that fade over time. The most obvious is old, overgrown roads. These often terminate at a clearing or area of sparser growth. In most cases there is still concrete and stonework masonary left behind. There is also the presence of non native plants spread about the area. Have fun. poke around and see what you can find. The first is off of lower Painted Cave road. The native sandstone wall is a dead giveway.
Original Contents;
  • Mini LED flashlight Carabiner
  • Mini Tupperware (micro cache!)
  • AA Batteries
  • Sam Adams Bottle opener
  • A few other small items

    In the future I hope to be able to dig up history on these sites.
