From a visit to the Sunflower Fields, by Gopetar, in December, 2006, for a FTF on a nearby cache.

I came along here too late in the evening to catch the flower sellers, or to find out any information about the price of the flowers. After being unsuccessful at the "Treasure Cave" cache, on a full-moon lit 4 hour walk, I came back to here camp overnight. (And got up before sunrise, packed up, and then had another unsuccessful attempt at the "Treasure Cave", tho I did manage to find the alternate entrance.)

If you have come this far for the Sunflower Fields waymark (with your GPSr) then you might as well go that little bit further, and find the geocache, GCRDCB, "Sunflower Fields", rated D2 / T3. It is off the road, up a minor track.
