Mi Soledad Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

QuireNerd: After some thought I've decided to archive this cache. Perhaps if I had received constructive "Needs Maintenance" logs instead of asinine complaints I would have been more inclined to move and enable it. Apologies to all those who would have enjoyed this spot had a few people not spoiled the experience for everyone.

Geocache Description:

Cache and Dash. You can park east of the cache on Beechwood. Please, please make sure the lid is on tight, as this cache has made its home among sprinklers.

As a young women I discovered this to be the best place in my neighborhood to see the sunset. I spent many evenings here enjoying some quiet, alone time. All this landscaping was added after I moved away, but I appreciate the useful cache cover! Come at sunset for a nice view.

Several people have mentioned the rose garden nearby, so I thought I should tell you a bit about the owners. Reg is the sweetest guy, and married to Holly - who is quite a character! She terrified me as a kid, but I grew to respect her. When Cole Road was widened they were told that their house had to be removed, but they weren't having any of it. They moved the house back and adjusted the driveway so it emptied onto Beechwood instead of Cole. This was their home and they were staying put!

The cache name come from a song:

Make a wish and dreams come true
Set a sail and watch it into the blue
What's an open door, If I don't walk through?
So I watch the stars move in the summer sky
The earth holds my back and
I'm drowning in the moon's light
And I think of all the places and the faces
And people that I've known
When I'm all alone I go home to my soledad
Oh, in my soledad,
all of my days and my dreams and my wishes
can all come true
In my soledad.
