Geocache Description:

Easy cache in a small park.

This small park was once part of the old IBM / Hitachi campus. See history - GC1RT77. It used to be part of what was called the Homestead and included a small golf course, duck pond, and hotel rooms for customers when they came to visit the plantsite. This new park contains four picnic tables with chess / checker boards, two bocce ball courts, some benches, and a grassy area.

My old office, where I spent about half of my 30 year career as an IBM / Hitachi employee, was about 500 ft from here. It was sad to see all these old buildings and trees razed.

As this is a San Jose city park, park hours are sunrise to one hour after sunset.

The cache is a magnetic keyholder, large enough for some some trinkets, and contains a logsheet, pencil, and some trinkets.
