El Sombroso Junction

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular


Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. It is a neverending source of irritation to me that I had to hike 6 miles to get to this cache along a road that I could have very easily driven in my Jeep. [;)] TFTC.



Sweet Sounds Of Water

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small


Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. The wind in the trees and the water falling over the rocks made a very relaxing sound. Thanks for giving us a reason to pause and enjoy it! TFTC.



Holed Up There

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Micro


Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. I'm not sure why the cache was so wet since the top was capped securely. Perhaps the hiding spot had filled with water during recent rains? TFTC.

Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. A quick stop on our way up the mountain. TFTC.



Tram Lines

Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. The wind was whistling through the power lines and making a very unusal sound. TFTC.



Snake Alert

Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. After circling around, this was a quick find. TFTC.



Sierra Azul Trader

Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. We stopped for this one on the way back down. It about killed me to climb the last 100'. TFTC.



Sombroso Spur

By: pedaler Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular


Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. Of course, this was the objective. She was a great sport to come with me a second time, having visited a month or so earlier with a GBA deathmarch group starting from Lexington Reservoir. Wisely she waited by the trail while I made the final push. Rain earlier in the day meant that I was soaked after finishing my wade through the bushes, but I perservered and now the box on my Fizzy Matrix is checked! TFTC.



Woods Cache

By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular


Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. In the 4+ years since the cache was placed, the PO situation has changed considerably. There's pleny of brand new sprigs poking up. I liked the hiding spot. TFTC.
