Micro in a small shoreline park
Cache is located in India Basin Shoreline Park. It's a nice little
park on the Bay Trail. Be sure to check out the periscopes. They
won't help you find the cache, but they're pretty cool.
"The history of India basin is a curious combination of industry
and open space, business and pleasure. The name India basin first
appeared on a map in 1868, but theories as to its origin remain
murky. The best guess is that India Basin is named for the ships
from the India Rice Mill Company which docked there. A more
creative explanation has it that it was so named because water from
nearby springs would stay fresh until a ship reached India.
By 1890, India Basin buzzed with activity from its extensive
dry-docks and shipyards. Jack London's ship, the Snark, was built
there, as were several Chinese junks used in the film "Blood
Alley," starring John Wayne. India Basin boomed again during the
war years, when it was used as a marina. Sailors crossed the rough
and tumble bars of Third Street, and the area reeked of the stench
from the nearby meat- packing houses of Butchertown." --
Neighborhood Parks Council
The park is closed from 6 pm to 7 am. Cache is essentially a
log-only micro, which has room for only very small trade items.
