Caching In The MTRP

I drove out to Santee so i do a little caching in Mission Trails Regional Park. I parked at the Equestrian Staging Area (ESA). This is a very excellent place, I bet, if you have a horse. There are corrals and picnic tables and plenty of parking. It is a good place to start hiking from, too.

I did a Big Loop by going to the west, then south to the dam area, then east back along Mission Gorge road. I then headed north on the West Hills Parkway, to Mast, then west back to the ESA. Here, check it out. I've numbered the caches found today, so you can tell them from ones already found. Wow, that image is small! You may want to click on the image so you can actually SEE something!



I found eleven out of the twelve caches I looked for. That frowny smilie is the Did Not Find (DNF).

I also killed my shoes. Or rather, they died on me. The cheap hiking shoes. Don't buy cheap hiking shoes with any expectation that they will last an appreciable amount of time.



You can't replace the liner. It is glued it, you can see where I pulled out the bottom of the shoes. The rubber cushiony-things look all deflated. There's twenty bucks gone!
