Geocache Description:

None of the caches in this series are on the tracks or station platforms.  You can expect a wall, fence and/or distance between the tracks/platforms and this cache and you will not be required to go anywhere that is unsafe or not accessible to the public.


This cache is one of sixteen caches in the Light Rail Cache Series that you'll need to find in order to find the seventeenth cache.

McKee Station

Paving design by Victor Zaballa.   These paving designs are located in the interior platform areas of the station.   The artist has created bold, brightly colored designs using organic, floral and geometric shapes.

Entry railings by Jean Whitesavage and Nick Lyle.   These railings are located at the entries to the station.   The railings, constructed of forged steel and brightly painted, use images of plants familiar in Northern California.   At this station, the image is Northern California Walnut.

Shelter canopy glass by Jean Whitesavage and Nick Lyle.   These glass panels are located in the shelter canopy skylight of the station.   These concepts also use Northern California plants, and are painted onto glass sealed between two panels of protective glass.   The design at this station are based on the Squash Vine.


Take a ride on the light rail.   These caches have been designed to get you out of your auto and spend some time on public transportation, but you do not need to ride on the light rail to find them.   Each of the sixteen caches has been placed near stations along the Santa Clara Valley Light Rail line.   Each cache can be logged on its own, but you'll need to find the first sixteen caches in order to obtain the coordinates for the seventeenth cache.   The log for each cache, except one, includes a numerical value or code word that is used to figure out the final coordinates for the seventeenth cache.

Even if you believe that you'll never try to find the seventeenth cache you should write down the code word and the station it was found at just in case you change your mind.   Please make a note in your remarks if you traveled to these caches by light rail shuttle.  Thanks for your visit.
