Big Tree at La Honda Creek OSP

By: KendraH and justbob Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro


We had stopped at the Methusalah tree up along Skyline earlier in the day. This one is probably taller; an awe-inspiring sight! Thanks for getting us here!






I am a Lemming!

I started out looking at the large downed log on the opposite side of the trail from where we eventually found the cache. Lots of interesting hiding spots there! And, yes, after realizing there was a cliff closeby, we did feel a bit like lemmings! TFTC.



Are You a Lemming Too?

The first stop on our tour of La Honda Creek. I had a permit, but we discovered upon arrival that the gate was already open so that at t could make a service call down at the house. With bright sunshine and mild temperatures it's going to be a fun hike! TFTC.



End of The Road

The grass is still green and tall along the way to this cache, and we waded through plenty of it along the way. I can see that this was once a pretty choice area if you were a cow! Great views of hillsides and open meadows! TFTC.



More Lemming Bait

The third of three end-of-the-trail caches for the day. Hopefully development of the park will create looping trails! TFTC.



No Exercise Cache

We were on our way to get our exercise at LaHonda Creek OSP, but stopped by to find this cache. There were several groups getting ready for the descent, and a local pooch who was making the morning rounds. Thanks for marking this spot!



Ocean, Cemetery, City

Since I was a bit slow getting the GPSr turned on, we almost drove by this cache. A great spot on a scenic ridge. There were a few wisps of fog down below, but the views were still good. TFTC!



La Vista de La Honda

A lonely cache indeed, but what an incredible and unexpected view it brought us to! Thanks for discovering this place and pointing it out.

It seems I've had my eye on this hike for quite a while. After finally getting around to it, I'm really glad I did! The hills are still quite green and the grass is tall. Great views! Topping things off with lunch at Alice's made for a fantastic day. TFTC!
