NOTE: THE GIVEN COORDINATES ARE FOR THE HIGH STREET ENTRANCE OF THE NEW PARKING GARAGE IN PALO ALTO. YOU WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE CACHE FROM INFORMATION DERIVED FROM THE HAIKU POEMS.
The City of Palo Alto recently completed construction of a much-needed parking garage between High Street and Alma, and between University Ave. and Hamilton. This structure features a quarter-circular staircase off High Street adorned with 16 Haiku poems selected from a competition of over 500 entries. Park here, take in the Haiku, and find the MICRO cache. (Note: There is also a new, free, public restroom just to the south (right) of the Alma St. entrance)
You can follow this search by enjoying refreshments in one of the many coffee shops, ice cream stores, or restaurants in the downtown area. HAVE A PLEASANT DAY!
