Plans
When I looked at eupeodes map this morning I saw it was possible to reach ground zero at two different graticules. I planned to leave at 10:00 am and drive to the farthest one first. I was going to park at the Grotto Lake parking lot then walk up Grotto Canyon trail. There is a geocache called "Love Grotto" and the geohash was located 90 meters ne of it. I was then going to continue another 700 meters up the trail and find 3 more geocaches. Next I was going to drive back to the city and go to the geohash in town.
