Geocache Description:

This micro cache is tucked in a mini park in an industrial complex.

August, 2003's fire brought devastation to some hillsides near Poway. Then a few months later, "Firestorm 2003" burned right up to the edge of this previously scorched part of Poway!

There are a few nice benches to relax on while we watch nature recover...from BOTH fires.

August, 2003....................February, 2005


The cache is velcroed under a bench.

Note: It's hard to imagine, but we seemed to have found a park with no parking!
(Apparently the city of Poway only wants people to DRIVE BY this park....)

We've given a very specific clue so you can park and dash. Longer, legal parking is available 2 tenths of a mile away in the Staples mall on the corner of Community Road and Scripps Poway Parkway.
