TA@10K #5000: Double Up Traditional Cache

Part of a 2005 ten-cache series to honor TeamAlamo's achievement of hitting 10,000 caches found and becoming the penultimate geocacher in the world at that time.

2024 edit: In 19 years, Alamogul has gone from 10000 caches to 233,500.

The Series:

There were ten caches in this series. Each cache contained one-tenth of a $10,000 bill with a number on it. The ten numbers were used to find the final cache!

A bit of history - Lee's 5000th cache:

One year prior, TeamAlamo (ie Alamogul) reached the 5000 milestone. A coast-to-coast cacher, Lee celebrated 5000 at an event in West Palm Beach, Florida. Fast forward one year, and that number has incredibly doubled to 10,000 finds. I am pleased and proud to have cached many of those in his company. Thanks Lee.

This cache:

Steep... twice as steep as typical. But short and sweet, topping out at 1000 feet.. There's a nice view of the City, the Bay, SFO, and even Mount Diablo. Cachingwise, this may be a two-fer. Lee likes that.

For the trailheads, I located three. “Paul” knows the Way up a path. “Firth” does too. Posted signs refer to vehicles rather than foot traffic.
