Top of the Hill Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Billspursuit: After the DNF last month, I dropped by to check on the hide. Did not find my cache and saw the film canister top on the ground; that was the part of the canister that held the log. So it is good bye to a Hide that was at the site for over 11 years. Time to Archive.

Geocache Description:


Top of the Hill Cache is at “The Alameda Gateway” which marks the entrance into Belmont at the San Mateo border. The Alameda Gateway Project, which was recently completed, included the construction of a “Belmont” monument sign and installation of landscaping on the east side of The Alameda.

Check out my landscape picture near the cache site. There appears to be a strange object in the clouds.

I grew up on 31st Avenue before there were any houses on the northerly side of the hill or south of 31st where I lived. Those were the days of black out window shades, ration stamps, victory gardens and stray cows getting into our yard from the pasture across the street. Anyone remember the Andrew Williams grocery store which was the only store in the area where the Hillsdale Mall is now located?

This cache is a sign only small cache. Please bring your pen to log your find and please put the log back exactly how you found it. Also, please put the cache back in its hiding place exactly as you found it.

I am trying a waterproof log sheet for the first time; let me know if there are any problems with the paper.

Although the cache is partially out of sight, you DO NOT need to move any vegetation on the ground to find this cache.
