(As of 3/20/09, the final hide and clues have been changed, due to repeated muggling of the previous hide. We'll accept repeat logs from previous finders since the new hide is quite different.) The cache is hidden at N 37 15.ABC W 122 22.DEF. Find the unknown digits by walking:

The final is a magnetic micro. Please be stealthy searching and replacing it, as muggles may come on you unexpectedly.
After your find, try visiting N 37 15.125 W 122 22.992. This venerable magnolia tree has fallen on hard times, but it is the only remaining evidence of the Swanton Hotel, a resort of the early 20th century that once stood on the corner now occupied by a gas station and a popular taqueria.
