I'm really surprised a cache hasn't been placed here before. It also amazes me that people don't know about this area. Even people who have lived a little ways away for 20 years (like my sister)!

There was a huge factory near here at one time that produced a lot of what you'll see. These items can actually till be quite valuable on E-Bay.

Alright, enough of that. The cache is a gray plastic fishing tackle like box Tupperware container with a blue lid 1 gallon plastic mayo jar painted black. Can not hold large objects, so try and keep things small.

If you're driving, you can't park on the road. You'll have to park in that other "co".

Have fun, and please make sure you keep this cache hidden as when people come out here, they're usually looking around all over.

[Added 8/6/03] For those interested in the history of what you've found here, check out this website I came across AFTER you find the cache (it will definitely give away the secret of what's here): www.e-z-smith.com/amcraft.html

[Update 9/23/03] They just finished building a new bike path through this once forgotten area. Ah the Bay Area secret places are disappearing fast! Anyway, again please try to keep this thing hidden as increased numbers of people will be coming through here.

[Edit 2/7/04] This cache replaces one that was apparently taken sometime in late January 2004. Damn!

[Edit 3/27/05] Cache replaced and moved to a new location near the old. PLEASE, PLEASE put back in the same spot and make sure nobody is watching.

Update 1/21/06. New cache placed to replace last missing cache. PLEASE put it back exactly where you found it!

Update 11/30/06. Eeek! Number 3? 4? New cache placed to replace last missing cache. Co-ords updated for new location. PLEASE put it back exactly where you found it!

Definitely took a bit of searching, but we got it. Beautiful day amidst the crockery. Didn't see a TB in there. Took: eagle kerchief. Left: spider. SL. TFTC!

dnf. No strong urge for unexpected swimming. I read more about Technical Porcelain Co., thanks for that. I'm left wondering if it always smells like there was a house fire in this area or it was just today. I was actually in the area to place a cache myself, GC22YWM for the curious. TFTC.

Had to wash the dog after a very muddy, burr-filled morning of hiking and caching. I remembered this is near MudPuppy's, so I filled the time waiting by looking for it. Neat history. SL TNLN TFTC.
