I'll never forget the day I first laid eyes on the cache called
kablooey's Garden. I busted out
laughing as I looked at the mess before me. The name was, well, so
appropriate. The area around this cache certainly reminded me of
that place.
Cache is smallish Lock-N-Lock (7"x7"x2") clear rectangular
tupperware-type container located on the Juan Bautista de Anza
Trail in Arastradero Preserve. Although the cache is tucked away,
you can see it from the right angles without picking up or moving
anything. Also, be aware that a rattler was spotted near the cache
in early April 2009. As with all caches here in the preserve, be
cautious and on the lookout for snakes.
Most of the trails (including the one that this cache is on) are
open year-round. However a few trails are designated as "seasonal"
and are closed at the trailhead after heavy rain (see park
information link below for more information). When the ground is
firm enough to ride and hike on without causing erosion damage, the
trails are re-opened by preserve rangers. This park is open 8 a.m.
to sunset and does allow (leashed) dogs. Please only cache during
park hours. Preserve information (including a trail map) can be
found at:
