Weirdness on the Albany Bulb. Terrain is a fairly easy walk of about 1 km. This small cache is the fifth-generation cache in this place; the previous four were pillaged.

YOU COULD BE THE PROUD OWNER OF THIS CACHE! I am moving out of state and need someone who will take over maintenance. Message me if you're interested, and you can adopt this cute little cache yourself! The cache has been in existence for many years, and it would be a shame to lose it.

NOTE: since 2011, there are a large number of homeless camps on the 'Bulb. If you're uncomfortable with that situation, bring a friend or two and stick to daylight hours and weekends. I've never had any trouble with any of the people out there (then again, I'm a 6'4" 215 lb male); better safe than sorry.
Take a nice bike ride or easy hike across the meandering landscape that is the Albany Bulb. This ex-industrial waste dump is now a park littered with bizarre and beautiful artwork.
If you have a camera, bring your telephoto lens for pictures of the avian life, and bring your regular lens for pictures of the crazy sculptures.
After you locate the cache, you'll probably want to inspect the array of constructions nearby on the north end of the peninsula. (Low tide recommended!) On the northwest and north edges of the 'Bulb, you'll find all kinds of good stuff!
This is a camo-taped small-sized cache, but with enough room for a few goodies.
(This cache used to be called Bullsi, due to a large painting of a target nearby. The cache was stolen, and the owner moved far away. I replaced it with a new cache called Stay on Target, so-named for the same nearby painting. The nearby painting had since been painted over with faces. Then a skatepark was built, and the slab was removed and the cache, which had been chained below it, was pillaged; so I put a new cache on a nearby overlook. And then, as if the story could possibly be over, the cache was pillaged again from the overlook. The beautiful and lovingly-crafted skatepark, too, has been demolished, probably by the State which recently acquired the land--that's just not right, I say, even if the skaters were in any way responsible for the original pillaging. After the economic bust, more people starting living on the 'Bulb, and someone set up camp right next to the cache, which was eventually stolen in early 2012. And that leads us to today's present location!)
