The name of the cache hidden in this park was titled "$25 Fine".
It was kind of a cute little park.
Evidently the person who placed this cache received a $25 fine for doing something in this park.
This was our guess on why they got the fine.
We actually found 2 along this trail. The trail really wasn't too bad. It was a bit cooler in the trees and bushes. We found these caches pretty quick too.
This trail wasn't as easy. It was pretty steep and had a lot of loose gravel. It made it pretty slippery. We started up the trail and continued as it curved to the left. When we made it to the next trail sign we decided that there had to be an easier way and went back to the car.
We did make it to the top of the hill before turning around. We actually found another trail head farther down the road that put us a lot closer to the cache.
This is actually the view from the cache to where we parked.
Very close but it was a steep climb.
The cache was even guarded by this cache protector.
Cheryl said it was a harmless Wolf Spider but I was definitely going to keep my distance from anything that big and hairy. (it's at the top center of the picture)
It's a good thing Cheryl was brave. We managed to get past the spider and find the cache.
This cache took a bit us a bit longer than it should have. We parked along what we thought was the trail head. We really should have paid more attention to the sign that was right behind us.
We spend a bit of time climbing through the trees and bushes on what we thought was the main trail. Unfortunately it wasn't. If we had just followed the sign and driven up the driveway to the parking lot, it would have put us with in a few feet of the cache. No need to stomp through the bushes and trees for this one. We just had to make it harder than it had to be.

I couldn't believe how much cactus was up here. We were really having to watch our step.
Actually might be pretty when it blooms
I really liked this one. It was an old pickup truck off the side of a parking lot.
They modified the spark plug to contain the cache.
Another unique one. This is actually an Eagle Scout project.
They made a 75 year time capsule and included this cache there to.
You actually had to open the padlock to get into the cache. Another fun cache. They drilled out a knot in the tree and glued it to the tube.
I suppose they drilled out the tree as well to make the whole thing hide inside the hole.
