Original Arches Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

bykenut: Came over armed with the new cache in hand and then noticed that the landscaping had changed since the last time I was here. Couldn't figure out a good place for a cache here that wasn't in full view of everybody, so I'm archiving it. Thanks to all that have visited!

Geocache Description:

Urban cache near a historic location.

This building is one of two remaining in California with the trademark golden arches and red and while tile interior. The building was constructed in the 1960's and became a San Jose city historic landmark in 1994. In addition to its main function, the interior of the building also serves as a historical museum portraying this business since the early 1950's.

Depending on the time of day, the cache location can be in the view of muggles. While scoping out a hiding location for this cache, a muggle came up to me offering me something to eat. I must have looked like I was hungry and scavenging for food!

The cache is in a 3" x 3" x 6" clear container with a white lid. Initial contents included:

  • Cat in the Hat
  • Wolf from Brother Bear
  • Mufasa from The Lion King
  • Lilo and Stitch Playdoh
  • Sega mini video game
  • Geocache note
  • Logbook and pens

1/9/2005 update - Changed container to a 4" x 3" x 6" black painted mayonnaise container to hopefully dissuade any future plundering by geomuggles. New logbook and trinkets added.

7/13/2006 update - Changed container to a cocoa container and moved about 20 ft from original location, but same hide style. New logbook and trinkets added.
