This is the southern terminus of the San Tomas Aquino / Saratoga
Creek trail. Evenutually, you'll be able to take the trail all the
way out to the SF Bay trail.
When I was growing up, we used to use this trail as a shortcut
traveling from home (near Murdock Park) to Westgate. The area was
closed off for over a year as they worked to turn it into a real
trail. It finally opened last week, and it's certainly much easier
to navigate then it was when I was growing up! You had to traverse
a 12" wide path with a fence on one side and a 10' drop into the
creek on the other. Then you had to climb through a hole in a
fence. Then you had to walk through the snow, uphill both ways...
(Ok, that last one isn't true. 
)
The trail is open until 1 hour after sunset, but you don't need
to go onto the trail to get this one.
The coordinates seem just a bit off to me, so if you have
better ones, I'd love to see them.

Remember, folks, the trail hours don't apply to this cache. That's
a hint.]
