Dirty Dozen: KWVERS! as Sawyer Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Marko Ramius: I was reviewing caches in the area that appear to need maintenance or have been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time. I see that this one hasn't had a status update from the owner in the past few months. Obviously, we give extra time when a cache must be disabled for reasons beyond the owner's control, but it does help to have periodic updates.

Please post a note to the cache page to let us all know the status: Any plans to replace (now or in the future)? A report that the area is not yet ready for a cache placement? A simple note on the cache page just to let us know that you haven't forgotten about the cache?

Please respond on this cache page within the next 30 days. If we do not hear from you, we may conclude that the cache has been abandoned and the cache may be archived. Please be aware that caches that are archived due to a lack of communication or maintenance may not be unarchived.
Please note that we now place greater emphasis on "refreshing the gameboard" which means that our SoCal volunteer Reviewers will be more aggressively freeing up space for new caches to replace old ones that are not being properly maintained. In this vein, a response on the cache page from the cache owner is required to avoid archival.

Thank you for your understanding.

Geocache Description:

From the Trout Pond parking area of State Highway 79 follow Milk Ranch Road a short distance to Middle Peak Fire Road. The fire road features long switchbacks that bring you to the promenade deck rather than to the tip-top of Middle Peak. The fire road surface is maintained and except for winter season rain and/or snow makes for a pleasant though moderately uphill outing with a round-trip distance of about 6.5 Miles.

Middle Peak once had the most magnificent trees in all of San Diego County. The raging Cedar Fire of years gone by completely destroyed the grand forest that crowned Middle Peak; however, the multitude of charred and fallen trees is for the present a wonder to behold. Think Gothic tales of old as you ascend into a scene laid waste by the uncontrollable force of wildfire. Even so there are signs of recovery and a reason for hope in the form of seedlings planted by Forest Service personnel and volunteers.
