Metered Access Mystery Cache
Bob Blaylock: I give up.
This cache has been muggled too many times, and this isn't the first time it has taken a travel bug with it.
I will not be repairing it again.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Terrain rating is a compromise. If you're
walking, call it a 2, but if you're driving, call it a 1.
It's about 3/4 of a mile between the two points.
A pocket has formed in the ivy, around the cache
container. Please replace the container in that pocket, and
arrange the ivy to conceal it.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates.
There, you will find a clue needed to derive the actual cache
coordinates. The actual cache is approximately 3/4 of a mile
away.
Go to the listed coordinates, and look for an object
bearing a serial number that starts with a letter A, followed by
seven digits. The first of these seven digits is a
zero. There are multiple instances of this object, but they
all have the same serial number.
This first site is right next to the light-rail
tracks. Obvious cautions apply. There is no need to
search on the tracks themselves.
So, where the serial number is A0xxxyyy, here's how you
get the coordinates to the actual cache:
xxx yyy
+401 +952
AAA BBB
The coordinates are N38° 34.AAA' W121°
28.BBB'
At these coordinates, you will find a living object,
and a nonliving object, sticking out from the ivy on the ground, a
few feet apart. The non-living object often seems to have a
greater appetite than the living object.
The cache is hidden in the ivy, between these two
objects.
Original contents:
- Logbook & pen

Watch out for muggles, and please rehide the container
well.
