+TFTC Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Is anybody thinking of sledding and caching today?! [edit]........too late we just got back! Julian looks like it got about a foot of snow! It was worth the drive because we don't get to see the white stuff too often! We even found one cache! Woo Hoo! We went up to Palomar today - besides not having any of the caches in the GPSr, we weren't really in the mood for excavation caching . It was gorgeous though - there were still piles of snow up in the trees (although plenty found its way down onto our heads). And relatively quiet - great sledding. We brought a load of snow back with us but it didn't last long! Took lots of video and only two stills: Looks like fun. Were you in the main park? How crowded was it? Hindsight says we should have gone there.....next time.... Anyhow, it is supposed to rain there on Saturday too, but if it doesn't........ We went to the area right across the street from Mother's (after first heading down to the north park and then over to the observatory). The best sledding was right there. It wasn't crowded at all - there might have been a dozen other people there - we could pick from many spots to sled down (some rather adventuresome ones too), although it started to pick up by the time we left. It's strange how they leave all the CHAINS REQUIRED signs up when the road is nearly 100% clear, although I guess at night the melting snow can freeze and be challenging. We actually saw some motorcyclists up there (talk about "die-hard" ). Quote Link to comment

It took us 3 hours to get up there from Mission Valley. I guess it was not an original idea. Quote Link to comment
+Dr. Boggis Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Did I see somewhere that people were going to be getting together to do the Forbidden Forest tomorrow night? I haven't done it yet and will have some free time after about 8pm... Quote Link to comment

I haven't done it yet and will have some free time after about 8pm... Last I heard Forbidden Forest was still tomorrow night. (don't know about time though) Should probably figure out a meeting spot and time for that one. I am curious, who is meeting up tomorrow for None More Southwesterly and where (and time)? Will we be doing any other caches (so I can load my GPS)? I plan to ditch work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

I'll also be going for TheMiddleFinger, so you have 1 day to solve the puzzle!

I just realized, (and wondered if anyone else has), how seemingly unusual it is that a bunch of San Diego cachers have essentially adopted a visiting out-of-town cacher, and taken time out of their own lives to make him feel at home, and help him have a good time while he is here. This is, I think, very unusual in these times--very special, and speaks volumes about the people in the SD caching community. I feel privileged to have met at least some of you. Quote Link to comment

My cellphone number is 858-699-3486 in case you want to get hold of me. I think they may still enforce parking (meters) at that time, so you might want to bring some quarters! Quote Link to comment

Would probably want to hit the trail about 9am. I did that exact hike about three years ago and it was pretty tough. I've been back to hit all the new caches on Iron Mountain that were placed after the fire but the group I was that day opted not to do the other loop. So I still need to hit the Ellie Lane loop caches but I can't this Sunday because I already have plans. Maybe next time! Anyhow, enjoy the hike! Quote Link to comment

+Chuy! Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I may meet you up for the hike to Boulders With a View; It's the only one left for me to visit, for now. I think we did the loop in 11+ miles; it came out to an even 12 'cause SOMEONE dropped their cell phone on the trail on the way back. We parked at Ellie Lane Horse staging area, hiked due east up and over the ridge, and returned via the trail from The Little Hurkey cache. X marks the Hurley Cache. (if you have problems with maps.google displaying the whole map, click anywhere inside the address bar and hit enter; that should expand the map.) The staging area at Ellie Lane is underutililized; most folks park along the 67 near the main trailhead which is just south of the Poway Rd intersection.

+Dr. Boggis Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 OK, well I'd like to meet at 9am, across the road from the posted coords for Fattboy's End of the Line cache, where Poway Road meets the 67. That's a good place to start on the Iron Mountain trails. There are plenty of caches on the loop trail around the northern end, and a few more on the side trail to the summit. The big loop trail is about 7 miles, so if people are too tired to go to the top we can split up and you won't have to do the full 10 including the summit trail. I'm happy to go whatever speed people want to go! The first 17 of these caches should be available on the trail, but I think the Brownies on the Move one is off the main trail so I don't think we'd get that without extra miles. Post something in here if you think you'll be coming so we'll know to look out for you before we start the hike. My cellphone # is 858 699 3486. Quote Link to comment

I'm happy to go whatever speed people want to go! The first 17 of these caches should be available on the trail, but I think the Brownies on the Move one is off the main trail so I don't think we'd get that without extra miles. Post something in here if you think you'll be coming so we'll know to look out for you before we start the hike. My cellphone # is 858 699 3486. I'll be at the End Of the Line cache at/or before 9am on Sunday, March 26th. If anything changes I'll post a note in this Forum or if it is too late I will call you and let you know I will not be there. Thanks for getting this off the ground. Quote Link to comment
+SD Rowdies Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) OK, well I'd like to meet at 9am, across the road from the posted coords for Fattboy's End of the Line cache, where Poway Road meets the 67. That's a good place to start on the Iron Mountain trails. There are plenty of caches on the loop trail around the northern end, and a few more on the side trail to the summit. The big loop trail is about 7 miles, so if people are too tired to go to the top we can split up and you won't have to do the full 10 including the summit trail.

That Brownies cache is along the Ellie loop and right beside the trail. Edited March 23, 2006 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

We've found some of the caches up there (the ones that are easiest to reach from the Ellie Lane trailhead) but we need to get back up there and find some of the others. Sounds like this might be a good opportunity. Quote Link to comment
+thekitedude Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I could use a cache outing and will meet up at the appointed time and place on Sunday. Looking forward to meeting some new faces. Quote Link to comment
