Geocache Description:

Cache on the less-crowded side of Los Gatos Creek, near a ramp leading down to the creek.

This is my latest attempt to increase the cache density along the Los Gatos Creek Trail. This is in Los Gatos Creek County Park on the east side of the creek, which gets far less traffic than the west side. This is hidden next to the trail. You don't need to take more than a couple steps off the trail to reach it. It is south of "Where's the Dam Cache?" Nearby is a concrete ramp that leads down to the creek. You can take it to reach the creek, but there's no swimming allowed. You can probably go fishing there, but the fishing is much better in the big pond to the west.

5/5/12 update.
The cache appears to have been muggled. It was originally a full-size cache. I replaced it with a small cache. Make sure it is well-covered. Bring your own pen.

4/24/17 update: The cache was muggled again. It's getting smaller. It's now a camo'd pill container, containing a pencil. It can be reached from the trail.

8/13/17 update: I found the 5/5/12 cache. I put it back and covered it up. Make sure it stays hidden. The 4/24/17 cache is still there as a backup in case the primary cache gets muggled.

10/1/21 update: The cache was muggled, and I couldn't find the backup. I replaced this with a camo'd micro, hidden in a different manner. It's the same style as my other cache to the north. It contains just a logsheet and pencil.
