This trek begins at the Jerabek Park parking lot, convenient for those who drive here. Jerabek is a good-sized neighborhood park. There are tennis courts here, a couple baseball diamonds, room for at least two soccer games at once which were taking place the day I set this cache. And it appears to be well-maintained.
But leave your golf clubs at home. The second waypoint is calculated using the info on a nearby sign which states that golf practice here is prohibited.

You can either bike or walk this route. It is not TOOO far to walk, perhaps a couple miles or so. I biked it and had to push my bike up a couple steep grades. So choose your poison. The three-foot post at this waypoint has two two-digit numbers on it to be used in generating the next waypoint.

HI = the two-digit number closer to the top of the post
JK = the two-digit number closer to the bottom

These waypoints are set up to follow the trails so that there is little or no bushwhacking needed. I try to limit damage to the environment as much as I can. There is a two-digit number on a 6.5 foot post to be used for the next waypoint.

LM = the two-digit number on the "HIKING TRAIL" post

This stretch of the route runs along the street before turning back into the park. At this waypoint, you'll find another 6.5 foot post with another two-digit number on it.

NP = the two-digit number on the "HIKING TRAIL" post

As you traverse this section of the route, look out across the canyon. For a little back trail area, there are some nice canyon and distance views before heading back into the woods. This waypoint stops at a final three-foot post with two numbers that will pinpoint the cache.
|
QR = the two-digit number closer to the top of the post
ST = the two-digit number closer to the bottom
U = R + T

The cache, which is a camouflaged ammo can about 12" x 4" x 7", is located about 15 feet off the trail. It will be obvious which way. No bushwhacking involved, but the cache may be a little tricky to find. If you don't find it within five minutes or so, please refer to the hint.
If you are turned around when you've finished, you can return to the Jerabek Park parking lot by following the trail to the these coordinates.

Then head downhill where the lot will become visible. Good luck!

| IMPORTANT NOTE:You will find a cryptic note at the bottom of the inside front cover of the log books at each of these caches. Record these notes as well as the coordinates of the locations of the caches and refer to the cache A True Multi-Cache in Scripps Ranch for instructions on what to do with these cryptic notes and coordinates. |
