Geocache Description:

Visit one of the best views in town, as well as a well-known landmark that many of you have seen, but never come close to.

This beacon has been on top of this very high hill in Redwood City for 50 years or so (sorry, we don't have any exact dates). We've always been meaning to visit it to see what's up there, so just over two years today we found the right roads, walked up to it, and planted a cache.

And then the Redwood City police came. And that cache is now gone.

The cache was then replaced and was placed in a new spot. BUT, that cache is now missing. :(

Now the cache is a total drive up in a different spot and has been changed to a micro.

This landmark has been under fire by many in the community who have a cross to bear with landmarks of this type. We hope it stays around for a long time because it really is a beacon to many people, as well as just being historic.

The views from up here are great! You can even see downtown San Jose on a clear day. Getting up here will be the hardest part of the trip! Good luck!
