(reported missing. Give me til 9/10 to replace it.)
Time - 4 hours or so.
Difficulty - Moderate hiking, easy clues.
From Arroyo Park, take the Interurban Trail to the Hemlock Trail. Turn left. Stay on this trail for quite some time. Eventually, you will come to a post for the Raptor Ridge Overlook. Turn right.
The short trail to the overlook is a wonder in itself. Very bright green all around you as you climb the trail along the rock face, through the woods and finally...onto Raptor Ridge. By the way, if you have kids with you, be careful, the ridge is a short cliff and sneaks up on you.
After you've overlooked enough, turn and head back into the woods. From where you enter back into the woods, count approximately 38 paces back on the trail. You'll pass the big rock split in two on your left, and then another large boulder that borders the trail on the left. At 38 paces, on your left, you should now see a sort of cave, or overhang, with a boulder in its mouth. There's a rotting mossy stump in front of it and a triple tree to its right. Behind the rock in the mouth of the overhang, on the ground, covered by sticks, is what your looking for.
Then you can head back down to the Hemlock, and back the way you came.
