Today I spend another day gathering information for some geocaches in the area. These ones are multi-caches, meaning you have to visit more than one location to find them. On this hike, I would just be gathering the information for where to find the final locations of these caches.
I started my hike on Doubletree Rd at the trailhead simply marked Public Recreation Trail. I headed down the trail toward Palo Comado Canyon and made a right once I got the the bottom of the hill. I then turned left onto Ranch Center Trail and followed it up and over the hill to Chesebro Canyon, with a side trip to the peak at the crest of the trail. This was a steep climb and was really tough in the heat today.

After arriving at the peak, I headed to the final 2 caches which where at the bottom of the next hill in Chesebro Canyon. I knew that by doing this I would have to climb back up and over on the way out. This turned out to be a pretty tough climb from this side as well and I was pretty worn out by then end of this short hike.
