Friday Caching

Headed out to Sweetwater Lake to look for some more geocaches. I found all of them, except for one. There certainly are a lot of trails out there to hike on. And ride bikes, too! I saw several people out pedaling around. If I had taken MY bike, I wouldn't have spent four hours hiking!

I parked at the park, because it's hard to find a place to park that doesn't involve private

property.

Google Maps Streetview shows San Miguel Road as being open, but it now has PRIVATE PROPERTY signs all over the place, and there is a BIG GATE. I guess they wanna protect the power transmission lines and equipment installation up there on the hill from neer-do-wells. I was hiking from the southeast, so I just walked through the gap in the fence. What's the point of all that razor wire, then?

That road to the left is PRIVATE PROPERTY!!! Do not go there! You have been warned!

I got to the last cache and spotted it easily. Then I opened it up --

Then I tried a bit farther --

And a little farther --

And then I went back the other way --

There she be!

Gmaps Pedometer says I did 5.5 miles. With their typically bizarre elevation chart.
