Geocache Description:


A "replacement" [;)] for an older cache of ours.

Several years ago - January 20th, 2011, to be precise - we hid a cache (GC2G6MP) at this spot after watching the first VAFB launch of a Delta IV "Heavy" vehicle. Today, we were in the area for the weekend, and drove along this road to pick up a few newer caches, replace our puzzle cache and see what was up with our old cache here. 

Well, somewhere along the line, the cache fell out of the tree, and was put in a spot where the tree eventually "ate it" [:O] At some point, the cache will not be openable; at some further point, it won't even be visible. Until then, it is still there, but the only way to get the log is to undo the cap and pull out the log. This could be awkward, but not impossible, for now. Good luck!

And we are going to repeat the Historical Note that was attached to that old listing... the nearby creek is Cañada Honda Creek, which flows westward and empties out at Pedernales (Honda) Point. Pedernales Point has a long history of being confused with Arguello Point, and even Conception Point. On 8 September, 1923, seven U.S. Navy destroyers (out of a squadron of 14) ran aground here, at the loss of 23 lives. Earlier that same day, the S.S. Cuba, a mail-carrying steamship also ran aground there.
