Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer
How to Get There:
Caspers Wilderness Park is located approximately 7-1/2 miles inland from the Mission City of San Juan Capistrano in Southern Orange County. To reach the park, take the Santa Ana (5) or San Diego (405) Freeway to the Ortega Highway (74) exit at San Juan Capistrano, Ortega Highway off ramp. Turn due east, inland, along Ortega Highway and proceed 7-1/2 miles to the park entrance. Park at the Old Corral Picnic Area.
Clues:
Pick up or download a park map. Take the Bell Canyon Trail north. Turn left onto the Star Rise Trail. Walk a short distance to the junction of Star Rise Trail and Oak Trail. Turn left (south) onto Oak Trail. You will pass a bench on the right side of the trail. Continue to follow the trail as it curves around. You will find a Sycamore tree that is leaning over the trail. Pass under this and also under a large oak branch that crosses above the trail and curves down on the left side. Admire the large oak canopy. Standing next to where the large oak drops to the ground, continue down the trail for 52 steps. Look to your left and take 15 steps approximately 80 degrees from magnetic North to the Large oak tree. Go around the large vertical trunk to the back side of the other trunk that is laying almost horizontal. Look for the split / separation of the horizontal trunk. At about 4 foot height you’ll find the box hidden behind a strip of bark. Be careful and look for creepy crawlies before you reach in and pull out the box.
If there are any problems with the letterbox please let us know.
