Miramar Lake in Beautiful Scripps Ranch!
Lake Loot Cache - GC578
I finally got around to getting some photos for the Lake Loot Cache. This cache is only about 500 feet from my house and it's the first one I found. These photos were taken on Saturday, June 23rd.
This is the Lake Miramar "road". It's just less than five miles around the lake and great for jogging, biking, strolling, whatever, especially on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday when it is closed to vehicular traffic. This is where I jog 3 or 4 times a week.
This is from the lake road looking up toward the cache.
This is a view of the lake from the lake road.
If you're seeking the cache and parked at the main lot off Scripps Lake Drive, walk counterclockwise around the road until you see this path which will be between the 3/4 and one mile markers. Take it.
After about a hundred yards up the hill you'll see a fork. The right fork goes up to Lake View Park and my house. The left fork is the one you want.
Follow the trail around until your GPS tells you you're getting warm, then look for a smaller side trail. Take it toward the cache. It will get you within a few feet.
These two were taken from Lake View Park, one looking toward the lake, the other toward my house.

GC11B0, July 26, 2001
Hey, they snuck this one in on me. It was hidden on July 20 but I didn't find out about it until the afternoon of 26th when I did a routine search for new Geocaches on www.geocaching.com. I punched in the coordinates and my receiver told me the cache was 0.66 miles from my house, so I put on my sneakers, grabbed the wife (even she can walk that far) and headed down to the Lake. After a pleasant afternoon stroll we found the cache easily. The coordinates where right on. Here is a Topo! track and profile of our strenuous walk.
That's me and the cache, the contents of the cache and Lorri taking my photo with the cache camera.
