This virtual cache will give you a close up view of the historic murals painted on two underpasses in Dublin, California.
Dublin has long been known as the "crossroads" of the Bay Area. Dublin now sits at the crossroads of two major highways: Interstate 580 and Interstate-680. However, the significance of the "crossroads" dates back over two hundred years when Dublin served as the crossroads of two important stage routes - one from the Bay Area to Stockton and the other from Martinez to San Jose. The Alamilla Spring, located in the Dublin area, provided a place for travelers to change horses and freshen up before continuing their journey.
Today Dublin is honoring its history in the Historic Crossroads Murals project which will be completed in a few weeks. The murals, designed by artists John Wehrle, John Pugh, and Daniel Galvez, are painted on the walls of the underpasses where Freeway 680 crosses over Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. If you visit within the next few weeks, you might see the artists working as they complete the murals in the Amador Valley underpass.
This virtual cache will give you the chance to walk through both underpasses and enjoy the mural details. To claim this cache, email me the answers to these questions and then log your cache. I will only respond if there is a problem with your responses. Do not post your answers here even if encrypted.
