I have stared at this cache for a long time, just waiting for a good time to do it----and today was the day!  It was a brisk-but-beautiful afternoon and I was in the mood for some hiking, so I came to Glen Helen to grab some caches.  I stopped first at the Nature Center and obtained a trail map (highly recommended) and at first thought I would make the hike from there.  Seeing the distance involved, I instead drove over to John Bryan State Park and found a much more convenient access point.

It was very quiet in the Pine Forest today, the silence broken only by the knocking of a distant woodpecker.  I enjoyed the serene beauty here and lingered a while just to take it all in.  After taking a few pictures and one last look around, I headed back the same way I came in, then made a slight detour to check out the nearby Horace Mann monument.

Email on the way---Thanks for bringing me here, and for my first OC find of 2015!
