Geocache Description:

Urban drive up cache.

My caching buddies live all over the Bay Area. When we get together to cache, we sometimes meet at park and ride lots. We have found the 511 Rideshare website quite useful in finding these park and ride lots.

When we went caching at Ed Levin County Park, we decided to meet at the Milpitas Park and Ride lot at "Main St, under the Calaveras Blvd overpass". As none of us were very familiar with the area, we ended up taking a tour of Milpitas. GeoWomyn_SF_CA found a spot she thought was the correct parking lot, got out of her cachemobile, walked to the nearest corner, and stood there looking for the rest of us. Fortunately we spotted her and we went for our hike.

The parking lot GeoWomyn_SF_CA found looked like a park and ride lot, but didn't have any signs saying so. There also weren't any signs on any of the major streets nearby pointing to a park and ride lot.

A cache has been placed at this mystery park and ride lot so you too can find it. (If this isn't the park and ride lot described in the 511 Rideshare website, please enlighten me.)

The cache is a hockey puck sized container, which contains logsheets, a short pencil, and some small trading items.

6/6/05 update - Original cache missing. Replaced cache with a log only cache. Increased difficulty level and updated hint. Bring your own pen.
