It is said that FROSTY CLEMENS, a cousin of Samuel Clemens ( Mark Twain) was a prospector and had many cabins in this little park. He had mines, but never "struck it rich" except for summer rentals of his cabins. About 1916 "he pulled a permanent lid of gravel down over himself in one of his mines"
I have been camping and motorcycling in Frosty park for over 40 years and thought now is a time to place a cache and pay tribute to Frosty Clemens.
To access the park by car, it is 1.5 miles up a jeep trail from Gold Camp road on FS379 or by motorcycle, the end of Jones Park trail at the Mt Baldy road.
My GPS was bouncing alot here to get good cords, if you get better ones let me know.

I forgot to log this the other day, when I stopped by on the way down from getting 5 up in the Mt Baldy/ Stratton Reservoir nether regions.
All was in fine shape & waiting for who's next.
