Depending on your approach, you'll be able to pick up one or several finds. Whichever of the many possible routes you take to the cache, you'll find it a shady respite. You shouldn't need much help to locate the painted 4" x 9" cylindrical cookie tin once you get there. Be sure to wedge it securely when you replace it.

They depend heavily, however, on their navigators to get them where they are supposed to be. You'll need some expert navigational assistance yourself to find the finish line. The cache is a large painted poly jar containing usual geoswag. Caution: Roads are very exposed, hot and dry, and subject to wildlife hazards: coyotes, snakes, and ticks.

I don''t know why insipiration was absent on this one, but it was...for a long time. Perhaps my subconscious was chewing away on it, for when I returned to it the other day, I noticed a couple of anomalies on the cache page which clued me in. It is worth the effort - mental and physical - to get here. I hope some others try. It''s been over a year and half for STF.

[:O] I solved this one when it first came out and watched it sit on the unfound cache list for seemingly forever. So today was the day. Nothing like a hike during the sun''s anvil in a blistering 96 degrees. With the continuous breeze, it wasn''t that bad. I''m usually not a fan of sun drenched fireroads, but the views today were pretty spectacular. There are spots of shade enroute if you need them. And as usual for a C&D cache, great puzzle, and great destination. The hike stats: I reached the cache in a little under an hour with a lot of picture taking along the way. The return downhill return trip was much faster. Now, start your rally car up and go and get it! Cheers, --- J <hr/> 2007-07-08 Write note colin&daddy ALERT!

From there, several other caches are within reach. Most of the trail is through sun baked chaparral with only a couple of intermittent shady spots for respite. I was wondering why I was huffing and puffing a bit going up, until I made my way back down and saw it was steeper than I had realised. Due to the horse traffic, the trail is also a little softer than usual, requiring greater exertion from hikers and bikers. A couple of miles up you can water your horse, or take a bath yourself if you feel the urge. Cache is a large painted poly jar with typical geoswag. Caution: take water, wear good shoes, etc. Snakes, ticks, poison-oak may be encountered.http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=04fc75d5-2389-4fa1-b4a1-e80bb160eb0e952010-118.334200I Got the Horse Right Here... by colin&daddy, Traditional Cache (1.5/3)About two miles up the Doc Larsen2010-07-04 20:20:33.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2009-09-06 Temporarily Disable Listing colin&daddy Station fire might have made it this far. <hr/> 2009-03-08 Found it Journeymnn I wasn''t sure when I set out that I could do the hike as a loop, but I sure hoped so.

The Doc Larsen trail is beautiful, and very peaceful, especially since I did it downhill [:D] Just before finding this one, I met a friendly man on horseback who stopped at the trough. We chatted a bit and then went our ways. Thanks! <hr/> 2008-09-12 Found it SHot70 When I saw this place I realized I''d been through here on my bike many years ago. The trail looked different walking up it rather than tearing down it. Ran into some more people on horses and these were kind enough to tell me the name of the trail & take my collection of beer cans and candy wrappers down with them. When I found the cache I left what may very well be my final Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow trading card. Man, I had a huge pile of those things once upon a time. But this morning when I opened the swag drawer there was only one left. So I left it here along with a Keep On Trucking air freshener.

GC1EMNFRegularTraditional Cache4crotchgrab, if that's not too indelicate a way to put it 34.290600While in the area I stopped in at the Ranger Station looking for a little trail map help. I'd long been intrigued by the possibility of placing a few caches on the Doc Larsen trail, but I'd only seen the trail from it's junction with fire road. Well, I don't know what my Adventure Pass fees pay for, but it ain't trail maps, that's fer dang sure. I got no helpful information at all. So I wasn't surprised really to end up here, looking for a way onward, on a trail that seems to disappear. It's not Doc Larsen's office, in any case. If you'd care to repeat my folly, you can find the cache I left as a consolation prize to myself. It's a large painted poly jar with typical geojunk and logbook. Tree cover may make things more difficult, so there's a spoiler photo below. Plenty of poison-oak around so tread carefully so as to avoid unwanted souvenirs. You can park at the aforementioned Ranger Station and cross the wash, or try the paintball facility if it's not too crowded.http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=50113dcd-0de9-4965-affc-4fce1a7d03e9949361-118.346750Is There A Doctor...? by colin&daddy, Traditional Cache (2/2.5)Doctor Livingstone, I presume?2010-07-04 20:20:34.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2009-03-08 Found it Journeymnn Why yes, as a matter of fact there WAS a doctor there today.

I wanted to go there and gaze down upon "Compound W" (GC13RH4), but that switchback would''ve taken me too long. Instead I took the equestrian trail straight to "Can I Get A Witness?" (GC1EMP1) and headed back to my car, which was parked on Little Tujunga right by the paintball place''s driveway. <hr/> 2008-08-02 Found it pattymack As we got close, started looking around for the spot suggested in the picture.

[:I] GCMBCCSmallTraditional Cache4Under Rocks 34.268533*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****: After the recent record storms, it is currently not safe to cross the creek between #6 and #7, and it is not possible to cross between #12 and #13 due to an 8 -10 foot drop off. Several of the paths and roads through the wash have been either damaged or completely destroyed. Until the roads are repaired, or the water levels go down so a new route can be determined, it is advisable to only attempt to access caches #7 thru #12 from the entrance on the north side of the wash, near cache # 8. Parking on the North side is available on Mary Bell Avenue. ***** Directions to Tujunga Wash Caching Trail: In Lake View Terrace, exit the 210 Freeway at Wheatland Avenue. Proceed North on Wheatland, one block to Foothill Blvd. Turn Left on Foothill Blvd. Proceed West one block to Christy Avenue. Turn Left on Christy Avenue and proceed to the end of the street near the stables. The approximate coordinates of the parking area are: N 34 16.292, W 118 21.560. The Tujunga Wash Caching Trail is a 3.7 mile loop with 16 caches. The terrain is mostly flat, with a few small hills. The trails vary from nice pathways, to rocky paths with narrow moderate to heavy brush. At some times of the year, the streams feeding the wash do have water. At the time of placement there were four creek crossings on the trail. The 1st crossing is just past #6. The 2nd and 3rd crossing are before and after #8, and the 4th crossing is just past #12. The trails for caches #1 thru #6 are fairly obvious, although rocky at times. The trails between #6 and #8 are much less defined. The trail from #8 thru #16 is well defined. The area is moderately busy on the weekends, with mostly equestrian traffic. Please be mindful of the horses and do not scare them. We suggest hiking boots and long pants as the paths do tend to get rocky, and there are lots of cactus and other pointy plants along the path. When we planted the caches, there were 4 creek crossings, the first 3 we were able to cross on rocks or logs without getting wet. On the 4th we might have been able to use the rocks, but we were tired and just decided to walk thru the water. The cold water was quite refreshing. After storms in the mountains, the creeks may have more water, so be careful. As always, please be prepared and take plenty of drinking water with you. There is very little tree cover, and the area can get quite hot in the summer. Have fun and be safe. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=368e3098-98ec-4ab5-bbda-e9c2cb74433f195655-118.349750Tujunga Wash Caching Trail # 10 by f0t0m0m, Traditional Cache (2/3)This cache is a small camo'd cookie jar.2010-07-04 20:20:35.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2010-05-20 Found it Chaparral Judy Great time of year to walk this area.

GC281PJSmallTraditional Cache4On a branch 34.261867An 1887 advertisement for the "health community of Monte Vista" read that an excursion led by Bartlett's Seventh Infantry Band would open up "Magnificent Monte Vista" the "Gem of the Mountains," the "Queen of the Valley," 1500 feet above sea level, 20 miles north of Los Angeles, with a magnificent hotel and splendid oak groves. Sunland Park was the center of the original 40 acres of the village called Monte Vista. "Judge" Page purchased the land and set it aside as a public retreat in 1884. This park has seen many changes over the years, but it has always remained a place suitable for gatherings like Carnivals and Festivals, to small family parties. A quote from a Chamber of Commerce Magazine from 1947... "At the turn of the century, when Sunland was known as the town of Monte Vista, the frontier stage coaches stopped just around the corner from the heart of Sunland's renowned mountain valley park. Imagine, if you can, the surprising paradox of Coney Island Ferris Wheels ... red caramel apples ... games of skill ... amid the picturesque setting of 700 year old oaks and a matchless panorama of mountain scenery." Not very many of these oaks remain. In the 1940's, oak leaf gallflies invaded the area and destroyed the oaks. Pines were planted where the dead oaks were removed. You can find the offspring of those old oaks in another popular Los Angeles destination (filled with Geocaches I might add), in 1929, 25,000 seedling oaks were taken from the Sunland Park grove for propagation at the Los Angeles park department at Griffith Park. Those oaks still survive in the canyons.

GCH7ZVMicroUnknown Cache4Tailgate party 34.309367 NOTE: The cache is not at the above coordinates. Go to the posted coordinates. You will be standing in an area that was burned in the wildfires of summer 2003. As you can see, Mother Nature is still healing from those infernos. Please do not leave the trail in the burn area; give Mother Nature some time to heal. Standing at the above coordinates, look south across Oak Spring creek, and you will see the remains of an old 4-wheel drive trail that switchbacks its way up the side of the canyon. The cache is located at the switchback 881 feet (0.145 nautical miles) directly south of you. The old road is overgrown and somewhat difficult to follow. It is not part of the Oak Springs trail that you are standing on. The challenge will be to figure out where to cross Oak Spring creek to get on this old road. The old road is non-existent on the north side of the creek, and there is not much road left on the south side as well. However the spot where the road once forded the creek is obvious, if you can find it. Poison oak may be unavoidable around the area where you cross the creek, so wear long pants and bring TecnuÂ® to wash up if you are sensitive. Don't bushwhack up the side of the canyon as it is covered in poison oak. The correct path may feel as if you are bushwhacking; but, believe me, it is much easier than trying to go straight up through the brush. The old road continues up to Yerba Buena Fire Road. Even on my old maps this part of the road is shown as a fire break. The fire fighters who put out the blaze in 2003, bulldozed the upper two thirds of the old road turning it into a 50' wide fire break. Parking is at N 34Â° 19.151 , W 118Â° 20.065.

I''ve been up here before and know Oak Springs Trail for the steep, sun-baked incline it is, but it was a cool, clear morning. Probably as good as it gets for this trail. Made it up to GZ, no problem, saw where I was supposed to go from there, got to the old truck & searched for about a half an hour. Pawed around the obvious places and used my camera to look places I didn''t want to go pawing around, dug through a pile of sediment at the end of the truck, really gave it a once over, but couldn''t find it. Thought about going back to my car for the jack to get under this thing, but thought better of it a nanosec later. Some one wanna tell me where to look? I don''t think I''m going back. <hr/> 2006-09-01 Found it tom4props I sure picked a "nice warm day" for this hike!

[:)] Happy caching! <hr/> 2006-08-07 Found it colin&daddy This cache has been on my "To DO" list for more than two years and as I had already begun this summer my campaign of knocking off several of Robinson''s 100 Angeles hikes, today''s watchlist posting combined with the cooler weather was the final motivation I needed to spur me onward. What pretty, pretty red leaves are strewn all along the lower stretches of the trail! Don''t pick up any souvenirs. A moderate breeze kept me cool as I ascended the ridge, and down to the spring. Final destination was a fairly simple exercise, and I believe I managed to avoid what little poison oak I encountered, which thankfully wasn''t as prevalent as I had feared. Located cache, signed log (FTF! - well, in almost three years). Took the newly dropped off Jeep for a contest pic, left a sunglass leash. Thanks for the incentive to get up here. <hr/> 2006-08-06 Write note tozainamboku Visited the cache today to drop off Green Jeep 4x4 "Sunset Peak (UT)" travel bug. Of course, there is not room in this cache for a Jeep, so the Jeep is hidden along with the cache. The old 4x4 road is even more overgrown since my last visit. I had to use my hiking stick to hack out a path through the poison oak in one spot. Be careful. <hr/> 2005-09-05 Enable Listing tozainamboku It seems the cache was there all the time.

Right on Jimenez...okay, I think I understand, but I didn''t see anything nearby that seemed to relate to the hint.

GCMMFTSmallTraditional Cache4South side of big bush 34.271533 While doing some cache maintenance, we decided to drop a few more caches on the north side of the river, since cross the river is currently not feasible. We have added Bonus Caches A through F. Bonus Cache A is just past cache #6. Bonus Cache B is just off the trail, or what is left of it, between #6 and #13. Bonus Caches C through F are in a loop at the western end of the trail, between Caches # 15 and #16. *****IMPORTANT NOTE*****: After the recent record storms, it is currently not safe to cross the creek between #6 and #7, and it is not possible to cross between #12 and #13 due to an 8 -10 foot drop off. Several of the paths and roads through the wash have been either damaged or completely destroyed. Until the roads are repaired, or the water levels go down so a new route can be determined, it is advisable to only attempt to access caches #7 thru #12 from the entrance on the north side of the wash, near cache # 8. Parking on the North side is available on Mary Bell Avenue. ***** Directions to Tujunga Wash Caching Trail: In Lake View Terrace, exit the 210 Freeway at Wheatland Avenue. Proceed North on Wheatland, one block to Foothill Blvd. Turn Left on Foothill Blvd. Proceed West one block to Christy Avenue. Turn Left on Christy Avenue and proceed to the end of the street near the stables. The approximate coordinates of the parking area are: N 34 16.292, W 118 21.560. The Tujunga Wash Caching Trail is a 3.7 mile loop with 16 caches. The terrain is mostly flat, with a few small hills. The trails vary from nice pathways, to rocky paths with narrow moderate to heavy brush. At some times of the year, the streams feeding the wash do have water. At the time of placement there were four creek crossings on the trail. The 1st crossing is just past #6. The 2nd and 3rd crossing are before and after #8, and the 4th crossing is just past #12. The trails for caches #1 thru #6 are fairly obvious, although rocky at times. The trails between #6 and #8 are much less defined. The trail from #8 thru #16 is well defined. The area is moderately busy on the weekends, with mostly equestrian traffic. Please be mindful of the horses and do not scare them. We suggest hiking boots and long pants as the paths do tend to get rocky, and there are lots of cactus and other pointy plants along the path. When we planted the caches, there were 4 creek crossings, the first 3 we were able to cross on rocks or logs without getting wet. On the 4th we might have been able to use the rocks, but we were tired and just decided to walk thru the water. The cold water was quite refreshing. After storms in the mountains, the creeks may have more water, so be careful. As always, please be prepared and take plenty of drinking water with you. There is very little tree cover, and the area can get quite hot in the summer. Have fun and be safe. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=dadbf39f-079e-488f-a3c4-8564584c75e3204410-118.343150Tujunga Wash Caching Trail Bonus A by f0t0m0m, Traditional Cache (1.5/2.5)This cache is a Decon Container. 2010-07-04 20:20:35.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2010-05-08 Found it pianofab Ahi ahi ahi!

Go early to get the best views and wildlife encountersâI saw hummingbirds, quail, rabbits, a couple of coyotes, fresh deer tracks, and of course, lizards galore.

There is a plethora of possible routes to and from the cache, but I made a nice nine-mile loop beginning at Dominica Avenue off Foothill Drive, ascending the Oliver Truck Trail, then across 2N94 and down Ebey Canyon to the Conover Fire Road back to Foothill. You certainly can find other alternatives. The cache, a small painted poly jar with typical geoswag, is hidden out of sight, and tree cover might inhibit your GPS reception. Scattered poison-oak is found in the vicinity, but can be easily avoided. You may encounter snakes, ticks, coyotes and deer on your journey. The trails in this area are, for the most part, very exposed, hot and dryâplease take proper precautions: carry lots of water, use sunscreen, etc.http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=488d40e3-4849-4dc8-ad02-056ad9ae0152625491-118.320350Pleasant Grove by colin&daddy, Traditional Cache (2/2.5)A shady oasis on a 9 mile loop hike.2010-07-04 20:20:35.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2009-09-06 Temporarily Disable Listing colin&daddy I believe the Station fire swept through here. <hr/> 2008-09-27 Didn''t find it kg6dfh My gps hates trees!

However, I failed to realise that much easier access is possible. I returned to rectify my misunderstanding and replaced and relocated the hide to a location that hopefully will be safer from the great unwashed. GC1EMP1SmallTraditional Cache4check the title again 34.293533I'd long hoped to place some caches on the Doc Larsen trail I'd encountered from above where it meets the Yerba Buena Mountainway, but I hadn't known where it started at Little Tujunga. The rangers were no help whatsoever, (what do my Adventure Pass fees pay for?) and this little hike only helped me find where it wasn't. It did, however, show me this little sign I'd never seen before. A small painted poly jar should await your easy discovery, if it hasn't been carted off. There is a modicum of poison-oak in the area, especially further along, but it is easily avoided. You can park at the Ranger Station on L.T. and cross the wash for a more interesting walk, or possibly at the paintball arena, if you want to cache and dash it.http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=d5abc9da-7016-4ebf-9af7-0c5122977538949378-118.352000Can I Get A Witness? by colin&daddy, Traditional Cache (1.5/2)Not every expedition goes as planned2010-07-04 20:20:35.0Geocache|Traditional Cache <hr/> 2009-07-17 Found it jestersupreem I FOUND IT, haha. this was my first find and it was a rush. i gota say these things are fun to find. this cache was a good one to. <hr/> 2009-07-16 Found it srchrisknight This was my first geocache find.

Very pleasant stroll. Thanks. <hr/> 2008-08-13 Found it dshadovi Stopped in at the Ranger Station all ready to buy a pass. (I left the annual pass that I bought at Utah''s Cedar Breaks Nat''l Monument at my office.) The Ranger told me not to bother because the ticketing Ranger was on vacation. At any rate, I parked at a spot that doesn''t require a pass: on the east side of Litle Tujunga just south of both the paintball lot and the "Entering Angeles Nat''l Forest" sign. I walked straight through the deserted paintball place and found the trailhead sign. I stayed up on the road and got as close as 122 feet from the cache, but I was up here and the cache was down there. Shucks. I continued on and turned right onto 3N36, which leads to "Is There A Doctor...?" (GC1EMNF). On the way back from that cache I took the equestrian trail that leads nearly straight to this cache, and made the find.

GCF405RegularTraditional Cache4[the hike]When you reach Yerba Buena Road, follow it downhill to the southwest to the continuation of the trail on the other side. [cache]Behind and to the right of the hitching post, under a tree covered with leaves. 34.289283Take Little Tujunga Road (Osborne Street) from Foothill Blvd to Gold Creek Road (about 4.2 miles). Take Gold Creek Road to the Oaks Spring trail parking area. If the parking area is not open, you can park along the road opposite the trailhead at 34Â° 19.13' N 118Â° 20.015' W. You will need a National Forest <a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/passes/pass-adventure.shtml">Adventure Pass</a> to park here (except for the last Saturday of each month in 2003). The cache originally contained: <ul> <li>Log book & pencil</li> <li>colored chalk</li> <li>spring toy</li> <li>wrist compass</li> <li>eyeglass repair kit</li> <li>emergency poncho</li> <li>toy car</li> </ul> This hike will take you through a recently burned area. This is where the first stage of this cache was when it was a multi-cache. The fire fighters built a new fire break to contain the fire to this relatively small area. The trail is partially obscured by the fire break. You will need to follow the firebreak to Oak Spring trail camp where you can cross the creek an continue on the trail. The total trip is seven miles on trails that are sometimes steep. Except for the welcome shade near the two springs the hike is mostly through chapparal. Take plenty of water and wear good hiking shoes. The cache can also be done on mountain bike or horseback. Due the the steepness of the trail I recommend only advanced bikers. The new parking lot has spaces for horse trailers. You can answer the question "<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=103010">Where did I leave the keys to the truck?</a>" along the way.

Just a short walk from the closest parking, you ought to be able to grab this and be back at your car in 15 or 20 minutes, and you can head straight to Jiffy-Lube. Although the gate may be locked below, I believe the fire road to constitute a public easementâand it's certainly not wet, in any case. (As Ashley Olsen said, at the the pinnacle of her cinematic achievement, "Are you asking me equestrian?"âthose of you astride a horse can access this the long way 'round.)

I appreciated the view of Tujunga Wash, in which our family has geocached several times. We continued on a short way to Oliver Saddle, where we climbed on that giant spool thingy.

Most of the trail is through sun baked chaparral with only a couple of intermittent shady spots for respite. This one will ensure you're heading the right way.
