This multicache takes you to Union City, winner of the All-America City Award in 1999 (which was also UC's 40th birthday). You will be doing a short tour through William Cann Civic Center Park, named in memory of UC Police Chief William Cann. Nearby are City Hall, UC Police Station, and UC Public Library, though none of these waypoints will take you there.
Waypoint #1 = N 37 35.186 W 122 01.618
Near the playground is an art wall that represents Union City's history. Take time to look at the artwork, then read the dedication plaque:
A= number of individual(s) listed under PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
B= number of individual(s) listed under PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
C= number of COUNCIL MEMBER(S) listed under CITY COUNCIL (look at their titles!)
Waypoint #2 = N 37 35.206 W 122 01.586
(approximately 200 feet away from WP #1)
This is Union City Skate Park, a 20,000 square feet area for skateboarders and in-line skaters. Btw, it's also a locationless cache, but it's already been logged. If you don't care much for boarders and skaters, read the dedication plaque instead:
D= number of individual(s) listed under CITY COUNCIL (different from 'C' above)
E= last digit in the year of the Park's dedication
F= number of individual(s), NOT counting the Chairperson, listed under PARK COMMISSION (different from 'B' above)
Add correction values in parentheses to decimal minutes (MinDec):
Waypoint #3: N 37 35.ABC(+.017) W 122 01.DEF(+.070)
Final waypoint is located off-path, so be wary of geo-muggles within view! I added a 1/2-star to both difficulty and terrain level because it is more off-path than before, and better hidden. Be careful - there is no need to get wet!
Container is a round cookie tin "Cann" covered with camo tape. Initial contents include: logbook, pens, disposable camera, stickers, patch, toy snakes, and other stuff. Thanks to Squints for helping during cache placement.
Hope you enjoy your visit to Union City! "...and the home of the brave?"
