Geocache Description:

Another in a series of common hides, with a twist.

This cache is located along the Woods Rd. trail at the south end of Almaden Quicksilver park. I selected this spot to introduce more people to this trail, an easy way into the center of the park.

The cache is about one mile in on a fairly level trail (Woods Rd. is a very high altitude entrance, so your car did all the climbing for you). It took me less than 20 minutes to reach it on foot, and would be a very short bike ride.

Do your homework ahead of time and you will find that there are several caches within easy distance.

Cache is a camo'd spice jar (about 2 1/2"x6"). Note: there is barbed wire in the area of the cache, please use caution searching!
