Geocache Description:

This cache is located near the intersection of the West Ridge and Chown trails in Redwood Regional Park (in the hills above Oakland, CA), which arguably has some of the loveliest hiking trails in the SF Bay Area.

Those of you who work with software on Unix systems with recognize "chown" -- this command is used by a system manager to change the ownership of a file. I have not been able to find out what "Chown" in "Chown Trail" means, but the trail is absolutely gorgeous. Too bad I can't "change ownership" of this trail area to me!

The cache is enclosed in a naturally camouflaged item about three inches in diameter and 10 inches long.
