Geocache Description:

If you are caching with children hold hands during this cache. This location used to overlook the Old Rheem Bowl. This Moraga Historic landmark stood for many years. After failed attempts to keep it open, it was closed and bulldozed and a public storage was placed in it's spot.
*****WE LOST THE FIRST CACHE, JUST AS THE NAME IMPLIES****
IT'S BACK ANE READY FOR MORE FUN. **DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE CACHE OTHER THAN SIGNATURES.** (MESSES WITH ITS BOYANCY.)****

** Read the entire Description. You will need something before you leave the house.**
Terrain is a 1.5 due to the traffic on the roadway. So Moms and Dads hold kids hands at all times. This scenic overlook is above the Old Bowling Alley where many Moraga kids would meet to Bowl and hang out. As times changed and other businesses were added the kids would move toward the Nations and the Taco Bell, and eventually the Burger King. For a long time there was just the Bowling Alley and its video games. Yes, actual arcade games. Many a youth would try to beat anothers' high score on Cennepede or Space Invaders. This spot has many great memories for me as well as countless others. You know who you are. See Ya there. Happy Caching.
**got muggled so I added the following**
I know its not a puzzle but you will need the following items:
A FINGER...and A BOTTLE OF WATER (at least 17 oz.)...
Well this is where it gets fun. The water gets sacrificed to the Mighty Pole. Be ready with a well placed finger to stop any leaks. This is how the Muggles will be fool'd. They clearly know its there but will never reach it with human hands. Hopefully all good Chachers travel with a bottle of water for "Emergencies". Well not exactly an emergency just required to retrieve cache. There are several locations at the bottom of the hill to get a water bottle if you need one.*****
