CoFTF with bthomas on our way up. We met a mountain biker near the cache who said that he was going to come down 9-1-1 later in the day. We followed him up the next trail to the west (...I've forgotten the name). It wasn't quite as steep, but still a serious climb! TFTC.

Hidden Passage

This cache was hidden in a cool little spot. I'm not sure why there is a trail there, the vegetation is so dense! With the recent rains, it was muddy and slick, but we made the find. TFTC.

691

Classic urban micro at the top of the mountain. I love it! We never did figure out why this cache is named '691' though. Thanks.

Yeah, the dogs were barking at this point! I was happy to take a load off for a moment while we signed the log. TFTC!

Rock-It No. 1

bthomas did all the heavy lifting on this cache as I just stood there looking up the hint. Bending over to search seemed like just a little bit too much effort! Thanks buddy. TFTC.

Groundspeak at South Peak

It was interesting to look into the watershed property from this side. On top of that the views were fantastic! After a somewhat arduous bushwhack, and a bit of scrambling about on very crumbly weathered granite, we nearly got blown off the top by the wind while grabbing the cache. Good Fun! Thanks for a little extra down and up climb after all that hiking to the top.

Bane of the Cache Potato

I think this must be the original cache along the trail to the top of Montara Mountain. Thanks for placing it; I'm only sorry it took me so long to make a visit. The views were incredible: Montara, Princeton harbor, Pacifica, and the City. The weather cooperated for the most part, with only a few squalls passing through briefly. I really enjoyed the hike and the opportunity to get outside in nature on a lovely winter day. TFTC!
