Take another ride on the trolley Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cachbefound: So here's the thing, this always seemed to be harder for people to solve than I expected and it forced me to tightly control the placement of all other VTA caches within the series. So I'm going to let this one go.

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


You'll need to visit the other sixteen station caches within this series to get the code words that are required to solve this puzzle.


Take a ride on the light rail.   These caches have been designed to get you out of your auto and spend some time on public transportation, but you do not need to ride on the light rail to find them.   Each of the sixteen caches has been placed near stations along the Santa Clara Valley Light Rail line.   Each cache can be logged on its own, but you'll need to find the sixteen station caches in order to obtain the coordinates for either the seventeenth cache or this eighteenth cache.
