The cache is located along the Santa Ana River Trail. There is a high road and a low road here. You'll need to take the low road. Sometimes the trail is busy and at other times not so busy.

The cache is about 6 inches across and for shape and color, well, you already know that. The cache contains a log book, cache page, a pen and some rare and exotic trinkets. Please rehide the cache as you found it.

I agree with Captain Snow below, second time is the charm. This time I walked up and found it in the first place I looked. I could swear I looked there several times last time, but never found it. TNLN, Thanks for the nice hide!

My partner “Brave Sir Robin” and I finished another “FUN” day at our conference. We continued on the low road and got to the spot but could just not come up with the treasure. After a few minutes we broke out the PDA and used the hint. It still took us another 15 minutes but in the end we found it on the “other” side of the clue from where our GPSr was pointing. We signed the log and continued our adventure. Thanks for the fun. Wink Cheers ToungeOut

TRAKD and I busted out of a work conference and went caching - we had to get some fun and adventures in for the day to counter that boring stuff. I really enjoyed the walk along this trail and these caches were the perfect excuse to take a hike.

This one gave us fits. We circled for quite a while with no luck. Just as we were about to "walk" I spotted it. Whew! It really wasn't too difficult - we should have found it sooner but... It was all the potential hiding spots.

TRAKD did a Happy Dance™ and I had to avert my eyes cuz it I can't afford therapy. Thanks for the excuse to adventure.

I hate rock hides! I must have alphabetized all the rocks within 10 feet of the GZ reference point three times. After about 40 minutes of listening to my wife complaining, I gave up. Well, for today anyway.

Spent way way way toooooo much time looking for this one. One half my brain was saying it was muggled and the other half said, what muggle would be looking for it here? So, I kept looking. The problem with this place is that the rocks are a bit smaller than other rock piles so I kept moving them around thinking that someone hid it better than they found it. Eventually, I found it in the last place I looked. I guess part of my problem was that I was looking for something bigger....yeah, that's it; I have an excuse for everything. Anyway, I signed the log and hid it as I found it. And just so others know, my 7 year old son wouldn't have any trouble uncovering this cache. Thanks for the challenge.

This one took me a long time to find; but I did not give up. TFTC.

Despite having found this a couple weeks ago, HappyTBF was gracious enough to stroll on down to this cache with me. We played some informal "Would you rather..." and shared some laughs.

Thanks for all your caches,

Skippy :)

Came up from Carlsbad on business, but had to get some caching in. Too many rocks today. Where's the chocolate?

This one took a little looking. I put it back exactly as I found it - good luck!
