When you get to these coordinates you will be standing very near
the entrance to what used to be Roseville's first "Mall." Actually
it was the Sanitary Landfill. What today we call a "Material
Recovery Facility". So I guess you could say the place was a real
dump...
Of course, that what was THE DUMP...he
he he
A long time ago when I was a little one, my Dad visited this
location
often and I got to tag along. For you who did not grow up in this
area,
I will try my best to describe what it was like.
Back then, Galleria Blvd. was just a little road called Berry
street. It made a dead-end right here because this was the north
edge of town.
As stated, this was the entrance. From here the Dump extended to
the North and West for quite a ways, exactly how far I can't
remember. Back then, after paying to get in, one would back-up your
truck to a designated location in the dirt and would empty ones
trash on the ground. Nearby, a bulldozer would be ready to push the
trash away or cover it with dirt when it got to high. This was
quite a memoralbe sight... and so was the smell....wooo....
Now... here is the story behind the name of this Cache. Back
then, there was no "recycling program" that I knew of. However, if
something was dropped off that might be worth a buck or two, (like
a refrigerator, lawn mower, or bicycle) it was saved and brought
over to a spot near the entrance and next to these coordinates.
Once there it would be lined up for people to browse through or buy
any item that might be of use to them. It was a cross between
dumpster diving and a pick-and-pull.
Right out in front of this area, some wize guy (as a joke) had
made a sign and put it
up near all of these "Treasures." It read ..."Berry Street Mall"...
The ironic thing about it, is that this sign turned out to be
prophetic.
Now, so near to where that sign once hung, would come to stand the
Biggest Mall
in all of northern California. There is no telling how much of the
garbage is still buried
around this site and that is why the mysterious "hill" to the north
is
surrounded by a barbed-wire topped fence...
At Stage one, you are looking for a object
with numbers on it (63A-B6CD).
Use these numbers to replace the missing digits of the 2nd and
Final stage.
Latitude is N38'45.8AC, and Longitude is W121'15.BDB . Use Stealth
as this place can be very busy.
I hope you have fun on this cache, and Be sure you return the
container so it is Out of Sight...
AKIBA...
