Geocache Description:

Located at a high point in Big Basin Redwoods State Park near an outhouse with a spectacular view.

Located in the Chalks, this cache is accessible from Park HQ along fire roads or from Waddell Beach by hiking trail. Either method requires some effort and a good level of fitness. On a peak there's an outhouse with possibly one of the best views ever afforded someone who needs a potty break. There's even a picnic table nearby (see waypoint, courtesy of 50sumtin) with an unobstructed view of the Chalks and the Pacific Ocean. I've biked and hiked here and it remains a favourite.

This cache was seeded with the following:

  • CopyLeft sticker (be sure to have 'C' face left :)
  • Irish Penny
  • Red Saturn Bear
  • Toy Shovel
  • Neon Glitter Putty
  • Ceramic Dog Figurine
  • Goo-goo Eyeballs
  • 4-T puzzle
  • Sport Glasses

There was a disposable camera here, but I have removed it as of 04/21/2007. It seems many carry these spiffy new portable digital cameras which weigh less than an Acme Anvil, so I leave to those who transport such to add their own pictures with their log entries. Pictures from the original trusty Agfa camera, which resided atop the chalk for some years and months are thus:

I tip my grubby chapeau to you, intrepid cachers, one and all!

This cache is dedicated to the memory of Bud "50sumtin" Gawlik. Bud embodied the spirit of adventure and the great outdoors - an advocate and friend to the environment and the game. Bud's picture is second row, rightmost column.
