We've just reached the meadow. We get a good view of Topanga Ridge on the far side of the meadow.

The trail isn't nearly as overgrown as it looks here, but it is narrow

This geocache is called "Hole in the Wall." We had to make a little modification to keep it from falling out. Hopefully it won't get lost again.
