Livermore Larupper

Grab your dog and your bat and head over to Max Baer park! The park is in honor of a famous American boxer of the 1930s, onetime Heavyweight Champion of the World, and actor, our very own Max Baer. Although he wasn't born here, he was raised in Livermore as a butcher and often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. For more info on Max Baer go here . There are interesting tidbits about his fights with Max Schmeling and the Cinderella Man.

For me this is a very special park, because I often go to softball practices here while my husband takes the dog to the small dog park (where she can run leashless). The dog park is featured in "Dog Lover's Guide to California" and the author is right that some afternoons as many as 20 dogs can gather.

The cache is a small tupperware container hidden in the park. Please be aware of your surroundings, the park can be extremely busy at times, so stealth is required. For that alone I bumped up the difficulty level. Otherwise it is pretty straightforward. Please re-hide well, we don't want muggle-kids to find this now, do we? :). Congrats to CrazyOn2Wheels for the FTF!
