DESCRIPTION:http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/6/b/0/600_391482672.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nI have two versions of this hike in mind: Hike #1 is adventurous and Hike #2 is very adventurous. Both will take us inside The Cave of the Munits.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/c/d/2/600_391484242.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nAccording to Chumash oral history\, this cave was the home of a very powerful shaman who eventually met his end after murdering the son of a politically important chief.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/0/8/600_391503592.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nBring a flashlight for the caves\\n\\n\\n\\nHike #1 includes an in-and-out exploration of the cave\, exiting the cave the same way we go in. Hike #2\, for those that are so inclined can exit the cave on a different side and hike over a steep spiny ridge to the back of Castle Peak.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/d/c/a/600_391492682.jpeg\\n\\n\\n\\nI will be on Hike #1. If there are people who want to do Hike #2\, #1 group will meet you at the top of the ridge. I have a "secret trail" that will take us there -- its a little longer than going through the caves\, and not maintained. (more about this trail later). We will all head over to Castle peak. From there we will take another "secret trail" down to Bell Creek and hike down the creek back to the neighborhood near trailhead\\n\\n\\n\\nIf no one wants to do Hike #2\, we'll all do a version of my Ahmanson Gone Wild Hike after exiting the caves\\n\\n\\n\\nHere are a couple links to past cave hikes\\n\\n\\n\\nJanuary 2009 - http://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/all_photos/?photoAlbumId=523433\\n\\n\\n\\nJanuary 2011 - http://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/all_photos/?photoAlbumId=1216414\\n\\n\\n\\nHike will be about 4-9 miles depending on which versions we end up doing\, and weather. No version is appropriate for beginners.\\n\\n\\n\\nDirections:\\n\\n\\n\\nGo to the west end of Vanowen St and park on street\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom the 101 freeway exit Valley Circle Boulevard. Head north to Vanowen St. Turn left.\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom the 118\, exit Topanga Canyon\, go south\, turn right on Vanowen
