VTA 3G: Mystery Station Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cachbefound: As many of you are aware, my VTA Winchester Station (GCAEH96) geocache was the subject of a significant public safety concern on Tuesday July 29th. On the next day I visited the site and spoke with a VTA maintenance staff member who advised about the VTA's current policy regarding geocaches. As such, I've decided to archive all my VTA related geocaches; even those that are not on VTA property. My intent is to become completely compliant with the current policy as well as opening up non-VTA locations for other cachers to utilize.

Thanks to all who have visited these caches and for your understanding.

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


You'll need to visit the other five station caches within this series to get the codes 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 caches has been placed near stations along the Santa Clara Valley Light Rail line.   Each cache can be logged on its own or you can do them all in order to obtain the coordinates for the related puzzle cache.   The log for each cache includes a numerical value or code word that is used to determine the final coordinates of this cache.



3G Light Rail Cache Series

1.  Great Mall/Main
2.  Cropley
3.  Hostetter
4.  Berryessa
5.  Penitencia


To determine the coordinates for this cache you must have the three digit codes associated with each of the five station caches.  Once you've collected those codes fill in the array below and extract the 15 coordinate digits by reading them down the first column, up the second column and down the third column.   Use certitude to validate your solution.

Puzzle Update August 2017: Cache codes have been changed from five (5) to three (3) digits.   The obsolete 5-digit codes can be converted to the new 3-digit codes here.
