A road that really goes no where is a good way to relax the mind the zen way.
Either a gate or orange barrels stop from detouring so you can complete your task.
Relax and the joy of your goal will show itself at the end of this fence line.
BYOP, tweezers and a log roller. One or more may come in handy.
Congratulations to geocyclists85 for being the FTF. 
It looks like a garbage truck dumped a few loads further south and now they have orange rope across the road but you can still retrieve this cache & turn around right there. Hopefully the city will clean this mess up soon.
