This Cache is an amateur radio APRScache, along with being an EarthCache, too. For ham radio operators, the geology portion of the cache is optional. To log the APRScache, simply log the location with your APRS-enabled radio at the EarthCache GPS coordinates.
Optionally, you can also log the EarthCache, which is at the base of Sonora Peak on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). The purpose of this cache is to teach more about the geologic history of the central Sierra Nevada Mountains and to deepen your understanding of the unique geology of the Sonora Pass area. This is part of a series of EarthCaches in the region. Note: This EarthCache is inaccessible between late Fall, Winter, and late Spring due to snow and road closure. Radio and cell service is limited here, too, so log the ARPScache from the nearest location available.
