Geocache Description:

    Taking the scenic route home from a doctor's appointment nearby, I drove by here and knew I had to place a cache.   A walk around the track brought back childhood memories of P.E., as well as Shop Class and Boys' Home Economics in a building immediately west of the track.  The buildings are long gone and the surrounding area turned into a park.

During my early teenage years I attended the school that once was located on this property.  We were known as the Sunset Junior High Panthers.  I recall the teachers having to stop their lectures while planes flew over.  The volume of flights was much less than today, but the old Boeing 727's that were the most popular jet at the time were significantly louder.  Reaching back 40 years in my memory bank, I believe the cache site is close to where the busses used to drop us off at the front of the school.   The school was operational from 1959 until 1976.

    You're searching for a small camo'd Lock'n'Lock container.  The area has a clear view of the sky, allowing your GPSr to pickup a max. number of satellites which will help narrow your search to a manageable portion of an area with many possibilities.

    Over the years the site has changed somewhat and the difficulty is more of a 1~1.5 but I didn't want to change it and mess with peoples' stats.....
