Hangin' out at Hidden Valley

A couple of cars at the trailhead, but we didn't see anyone else during our short walk to the cache. The fog was quite thick, and we got wet with all of the drops that were falling from the trees. After starting out our search at the wrong tree, we eventually found it several minutes later. TFTC.

Got Dirt?

I left mrs303 at the visitor center, but ended up being gone a lot longer than either of us expected. Fog and a steep hillside conspired against me, and I ended up wandering all over. Thanks for the backup!

I'm a pushover for old cemetaries. Thanks for providing a cache to find as well!

On our way to DeLorme p62, but as we passed by realized that the timing was perfect. What a beautiful beach! It took us several tries to find the correct approach, but eventually we found the path with the least amount of pucker factor and made the ascent. The cache was suprisingly exposed, but it doesn't look like too many people get up on top, so all is well. Great views from up there, and a very memorable adventure. TFTC!

Looking Into the Whale's Mouth

I've heard a lot about this cache over the years, and was happy to finally experience it for myself. The weather was perfect with hazy filtered sun and light breezes. I think we probably saw all of the same Elk that Geobrowns ran into a week ago, which was quite a thrill. We spent quite some time talking to the park hosts, who were heading out for a new assignment the next day after speding a month at the ranch house. Wouldn't that be a fun way to spend your retirement? I actually thought the drive to the end of the road wasn't too bad. Somehow I was thinking that it was going to be dirt all the way from Garberville. Thanks for getting us into another remo te part of California, and a very scenic one at that! TFTC.

Interesting to see the logging equipment. We were disappointed to see all the trash strewn about, but happy to find a place stretch our legs for a few minutes. TFTC!
