A bit of history - Team Alamo's 4000th cache:

Team Alamo's 4000th find was at the first annual geocaching GBES Navigational Rally at Fallon, Nevada. Farms and ranches around this city contribute to the area's claim as the "Oasis of Nevada". In the rally there were 5 checkpoints and 4 route caches to find along the 50 mile desert course. The checkpoint challenges were particularly difficult because per the rules we couldn't enter the coordinates into the GPS, creating a comical scene at every checkpoint with puzzled geocachers walking around in circles in the desert looking for the cache marker. A good time was had by all!

This cache:

Trailhead is off Welch Creek Road in Sunol Regional Wilderness. The round-trip hike is 6 miles so bring plenty of water. After 1/2 mile the cache location will begin to reveal itself. Although your GPS indicates a frontal assault, circling around to the rear is easiest, where a use trail starting at N37 32.871 W121 50.287 is found. Cache is just a few yards off the use trail so no bushwacking is required (always the case for my caches). Good Luck!
