Arroyo Meadow

First caching day of the new year. After finding the other meadow cache, I didn't return to the trail, but hiked cross country to the fire road, thinking somehow that it was the way to get to this cache. Whoops!Backtracked and made the find. Thanks for the navigational challenge! The trails in
this area are a bit confusing.
