Geocache Description:

Paul knows the way for a dogwalk path. If MIA from rock/bush and you are a >0.5K cacher, I'll thank you for any courtesy replacement.

Part of a ten-cache series to honor TeamAlamo's achievment of hitting 10,000 caches found and becoming the top male geocacher of all time. Visit all ten to find the coordinates for the final tribute cache!


The Series:

There are ten caches in this series. Each cache contains one-tenth of a $10,000 bill with a number on it. When you visit each cache, note the location of the bill segment and the number on the bill. Use these ten numbers to find the final cache!

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

A little over one year ago, TeamAlamo 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. At some locations posted signs refer to vehicles rather than foot traffic.
