Naturally, we just don’t drive somewhere any more. We always have to stop and pick up a couple of caches. Today we will be checking out the Hwy 20 area west of Wiliams. We have an ulterior motive. There is one particular cache we need to complete a puzzle on another cache and it is located on Bear Valley Road of Hwy 20. We could just drive straight to that cache, find it, and then on to our final destination. Nah! It would hurt to much to pass up all those other caches!
We got a late start as we had some things to attend to this morning. It was a little after 10 when we could finally say “On the Road Again”. Our first stop will be in the town of Williams.
We left Williams and headed west on Hwy 20. We picked up a few caches along the road before turning off on Bear Valley Road. (Have you ever noticed how many Bear Valleys there are in California?). Bear Valley Road is a rocky dirt road that is well maintained. We were a little concerned we might need our jeep but we did just fine with the Sequoia.
We took a little side jaunt on Wilbur Springs Road to grab three caches. We were surprised to-find the Wilbur Hot Springs Resort at the end of the road. We couldn’t see the resort from where we were but it is an isolated area and looks like it would definitely be exclusive!
We made our last leg up Bear Valley Road to meet with Dan Quail. He was hiding out in an interesting old stump. As we arrived at the “spot”, we knew instantly where to look. We had to be at the right angle, but there it was. We signed the log, took a few pictures, and reluctantly headed back down the road. This was a nice little area. We saw lots of birds. Too bad we didn’t have a little more time to enjoy it.
