You are looking for an ammo can with some quality swag, a log book and a pen to record your find. Good luck, enjoy the scenic view, and make sure you are properly attired with the right hiking shoes to vertically assault this hill, especially while the ground is still wet from recent rains.

A Roadrunner and a Rabbit are known to frequent this area too, so bring a camera when you look for this cache.

Good luck and don't forget to SMILE!

I was in the neighborhood and I noticed the Top Llama travelbug was in this cache. I moved that one from Santa Barbara to OC a few months ago, now I'll take him another 100 miles closer to his goal tomorrow.

The hike to the cache was great and the view was amazing. I did NOT expect to be hiking in the rain in May, but that is what happened.

Since today was the anniversary of my first find, decided to look for some caches. Quite a hike, left me winded. Great view. TFTC

Belle12 and I hiked up the hill on the way to a party at Boomers today. Ok, we were darn early, but it was planned that way.

This was a fun little hike through 5' tall mustard plants. It was a shame that the hilltop was already past it's pretty season.

I like the ammo can. Wonderful swag, took some, added some.

The trail up to the cache was steep. I saw a broken egg, but I don't know what kind. I did not see any rabbits, road runners or snakes, but I saw a snake hole. I took a cute little kitty pencil topper out of the cache.

Thanks for the cache Shy

Out on a beautiful day. A bit windy, but that clears out the air and makes for a great view. Especially from up here. Thanks for the reason to hike up here. Dropped off a geocoin that I picked up in Asia.

Too bad no camera was not there. Took the dog bone paper punch and added the green ball.

Wow, what a view! Halfway up the hill I realized what a fantastic cache we were missing out on all this time. I wonder what took us so long? We could see the snowy mountaintops in the distance (we should be up there with snowshoes). There was Fashion Island, Back Bay, IVC, the orange balloon, Santiago Peak, and everything in between. Blustery cold day, and very clear weather. This is definitely one to do on a clear day. Thanks for the hide.
