Geocache Description:

#3 in the "Stupid Fake Latin Names" Series.

I loved it in the Road runner show when they gave stupid fake Latin names to Willy E. Coyote Like "Coyotecus Stupidous". So, I decided to do the same with some of my caches.

This is a RUBBER BRACELETS ONLY Cache. Please keep with the spirit of the cache and only leave RUBBER BRACELETS. This cache is located a on the west side of Yuba City and you can drive right up to it.
There are houses very near this cache so remember to use Stelth and descression.

Where did these trees come from? I don't think they are native to California.
FROM DOWN UNDER IT CAME

While traveling along the roads and highways of California, especially along its coast and inland valleys, one will see the usual oak, pine, and scrubbrush. Yet there is another member of the plant family whose presence is dominating and charismatic. Its size is lofty; its silhouette captivating; its smell clean and antiseptic like the scent unfurling from a medicine cabinet. Many think it is a California native, but it is not. It is really an immigrant from Australia that arrived as many immigrants have in this wonderful country, surreptitiously.

It is the remarkable eucalyptus of which we speak that came from the virgin forests of that vast land down under, Australia. It is as curious as that land with its pouched animals and mysterious aborigines. Its adaptability and its hardiness can be seen in its groves which cling to the California hillsides and fill the crevices of the landscape. It is difficult to imagine what California would look like without the seemingly omnipresent eucalyptus.

I recommend approaching the cache forom the North east side. You can park about 100' north of the cache.
