+Chuy! Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 My-oh-my. It looks like the west side of McGinty is the happening spot these days. Do I need to go out there a third week in a row? What's a good starting spot if one is think of going out to this area? It depends on which caches you need. We hiked up McGinty from the south side (see previous posting for coords) and then hiked out the west side. There is less elevation gain going that direction. As TG said it depends on the caches you need, but if you're planning on staying on the west side, you can start at Chuy!'s cache GC10BWX. That's both a good starting point and a place to park. Parking on the east side is at the end of Wild West (you gotta walk up a private driveway about 75 feet - all the locals do it, and I waved to homeowner once and he waved back.) Or, park at end of Hidden Ridge Rd. Wild West cuts about .5 miles and about 150 feet of elevation gain. Hike to the top is very steep but about a mile shorter than the west side. If you're going to do all the caches like CTYankee just did, start on the west side. Otherwise, break it in half and do the peak (all the way to at least TRviolin's M'm! M'm! Good Sycuan View cache) from the east side. Quote
+M2 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Added photos of the first SD event and the 3rd event couldn't get pics up for the 2nd event which was in OB at a pizza parlor. The first event was GC1576 with 20 plus cachers The 2nd event wasn't that large maybe 15 cachers The 3nd event was GC4A53 with over 50 cachers and familys Some well-known names in those groups! Thanks! Quote

+TucsonThompsen Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 In regards to the upcoming event in Yuma on the 11th of Feb., I know there was a certain contingent from SD headed out. (Flagman, PW, Trailgators, the Splashes and $kimmer). I just was curious if those who were coming out were planning on just making it a day trip or were going to come in the day before and bashing about Yuma and Mittry Lake? I was planning on coming out Saturday before, bashing about Yuma on Sat and staying over for the event on Sunday. Perhaps the SD crew might want to meet up before event? Anyone else besides the aformentioned folk coming out? Just a thought. --TT-- Quote

I highly recommend doing this with a smaller group. It's not that tough but is fun to do. If the group is too large some members of the group could feel left out at certain stages of it. I think 2-6 people is about right. If you get too many people just split up into two groups and stagger the start times by 30 minutes. Edited January 25, 2007 by TrailGators Quote

+TrailGators Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Sycuan Peak: Saturday 1/27. We will meet at trailhead parking at N32° 44.791 W116° 48.007 at 9AM The hike will take 2-3 hours. After the hike I would like to go visit Miragee's Carveacre Wind Caves! Great! I've been hankerin' for a hike. I am in. Later when you go for the Wind Caves, do you come in from the north, or are you going to pass the Lawson/gaskill caches, etc.. from the south TA I'm not sure about doing the Wind Caves. If Miragee opts to do McGinty again then I'll hold off because it would be more fun to do that with her. I do have a ton of solved puzzles in the area that I need. Would you guys be up for that after Sycuan? Quote

Would you guys be up for that after Sycuan? Are you guys gonna get lost again? I don't think there are any golf courses with golf carts for hire out that way!

We educated the person that needed the golf cart to get some good grippy hiking shoes/boots and a stick. All it takes is one slip to twist something and really mess up your hike. It sounds like he is OK now. As far as getting lost we weren't lost. We just didn't know where we were going to end up... Are you going to join us tomorrow for Sycuan?

+The Dillon Gang Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) for those interested in a smaller....local hike..i'm heading up Kwaay Peak tomorrow around 9amish. probably will meet at the campground parking lot and hike up from there. coming down in a loop past above mission dam towards the dam parking lot. might attempt the climber's loop after depending on leg strength. drop a line if interested. PS: will be hunting 3 puzzle caches also. Edited January 27, 2007 by The Dillon Gang Quote

+Team Adelos Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Are you guys gonna get lost again? I don't think there are any golf courses with golf carts for hire out that way! Lost? How can you get lost if you leave cache crumbs along the way? I am thinking of a license plate for my truck. Maybe I should see if NOTLOST is available.. See you in the morning Trailgators.. Quote
