This cache is a camo'd film canister. You need to bring your own pen to sign.
I wanted to create a cache in the neighborhood where I grew up. This unicorporated area has a "small town" appeal. The community has an annual 4th of July parade and midway games in which most of the neighborhood participates (including the CDF firetrucks and Smokey Bear).
I also wanted to showcase the Eichler homes built up here in the late 1950's by Joseph Eichler. His signature style is flat roofs, atriums leading into the house, open floor plans, and walls of glass looking out into the backyard. His modern homes were available to all races at a time when segregation was common and legal.
This multi-cache first takes you to a unique view of a water tower that can be seen from Highways 92 and 280. The coordinates are as follows:
N 37' 30.801 W 122' 20.461
To find the actual cache you must solve these clues:
N 37' aa.9b6 W 122' 20.16c
aa= # of vertical bars (excluding end bars) on gate that leads into the field minus 1
b= # of syllables in full street name (begins with L) at this intersection.
c= # of cyllables in the first word of the street name
(begins with A) at this intersection.
