We had a great trip through the coastal mountains of Santa Barbara County. The 20-mile loop around and up Figueroa Mountain has more than 20 caches and some great views. Our timing was perfect. The wildflowers were blooming. We got a combination of lupine and poppies. The 20-mile trip took exactly 4 hours. We played tag with a group of bicyclists from Orange County. We would drive by them, then stop for a cache and they would ride by us. This continued all day and many of the bikers did the ride fast than we did the drive.
Here is a list of the caches that we found on the loop. We had 3 DNFs. If you don’t stop for as many photos as I did, you can probably do the trip quicker. But this is a great geocaching trip. Take your time with it.
Now some photos of the trip.
