The trail near this cache is the steepest trail in the area that I know of. A good challenge is to park near the river so that the entire trail can be ‘enjoyed’. According to the sign, dogs are okay on leashes but mountain bikes are not.
I used game trails to the cache location and it was not necessary to ‘whack’ any bushes. Due to the potential to create social trails, I will move this cache if it appears that a social trial is developing. On the other hand, I doubt this will be a heavily-visited cache.
This is a ‘logbook-only’ cache. I did use a container to protect the logbook and to allow geocachers to leave their ‘signature item’ if they want. Everyone geocaches for different reasons. If you get a lot of enjoyment out of the trinket exchange aspect, this cache will be a disappointment.
The cache is a hard plastic sandwich keeper (4.5” x 4.5” x 2”) container with a blue top wrapped in a black trash bag. There is a rock on top of the cache in an attempt to keep animals from knocking it down the slope.

I did not see any poison oak near the cache.
