Before driving home from our motel in Santa Clarita, we decided to take a little hike (and find some geocaches), even though it was lightly raining. Since checkout time wasn’t until 12 noon, we could hike, but still shower and change into dry clothes. We started our hike at the end of the public road in Pico Canyon and hiked up a paved trail to Mentryville, and beyond. Mentryville is now a ghost town, but was founded as a very early California oil town. Wikipedia has a brief article. There are a number of caches along the trail. We found six before we decided we were too wet and cold. It’s and interesting place and worth getting a docent led tour. Besides there are a lot more caches farther up the canyon.
