This cache is located by the Mockingbird Hill parking lot for
Almaden Quicksilver park. Park at the lot, which is also a good
starting point for several of the many caches in the park. The lot
is open roughly the same time as the park, which is 8am to sunset.
The cache is a very brief walk away, only a few yards from the
paved road.
In warmer weather you'll want to stay alert for snakes, ticks,
and the usual other critters in this park. There were three deer
bedded down uder a tree about 100' from this cache when I placed
it. Please re-hide the cache as well or better than you found
it.
The cache is a large ammo can, a bit of an odd size because it's
similar to the usual .50 caliber can but it's just slightly larger.
There should be adequate room for most anything. The initial
contents of this cache are listed in the logs.
While you're only permitted one find on this cache, anyone is
welcome to return whenever they like to trade signature items.
Please trade fairly with respect to the rarity and desirability of
the sig items.
Congrats to ProTechCC for being FTF!
Note 4/27/05: The cache has been moved much closer to parking so
there is a lot less grass to walk through and less chance of
disturbing the local deer. You'll need to be a little stealthier
about retrieving it. There is a little poison oak in the general
area but it is easily avoided, just circle around as necessary.
NOTE: A rattlesnake was once seen near the cache in May 2005.
They are fairly common in this park for much of the year so please
proceed with due caution.
