| "Barrel of Monkeys" aka Iron Horse Trail #8 - is the eighth evil cache (my sixth
placement) along this former railway. I was going to leave a small toy monkey
hanging in the area as a hint, but let's wait until the mad crush for FTF
is over. |

This cache is, you guessed it, a camoed barrel of monkeys, slightly
larger than a film canister. It is small, so you will need to bring your own
pen. As with the others, it is real close to the trail. BTW, there is a "winning"
lottery ticket in the cache for FTF.
Come visit Iron Horse Trail in Contra Costa County. The cache
is easily accessed by bicycling, roller blading, jogging or just plain old strolling
along. With this said, bring the family and fido to find this cache as it is
a nice paved horizontal path. There are multiple places for parking along the
trail.
This multi-use, whole-access trail between the cities of Concord
and Dublin follows the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way established
in 1891 and abandoned in 1977. For more information visit the East Bay Parks
