The cache is a metal canister hidden in a beautiful field near Santa Isabel Shaft with a magnificent view of the valley.
Tatooine is a planet from the Star Wars saga.
Tatooine is the home planet of Anakin and Luke Skywalker and is also one of the most iconic planets in the Star Wars universe .
Tatooine used to have large oceans and a world-spanning jungle, but this biosphere was destroyed and became a desert planet.
My kids love Star Wars and have decided to call this cache "Tatooine".
The closest parking is the Mockingbird Hill lot. The beautiful New Almaden trail and Buena Vista trails will lead you to the location of the cache.
The Santa Isabel Shaft was constructed in 1877 from a point 1,300 feet west of the Randol Shaft. Mine Manager J.B. Randol had favored the name Centennial for the new shaft after the Philadelphia World’s Fair, but by popular acclaim from the Hill’s population it was named after his first daughter, Elizabeth, who at only 5 years old had won a warm spot in many hearts.
Randol was secretly elated and named the shaft Santa Isabel [Spanish for Elizabeth] out of respect for the Mexican miners and their families.
The cache contains various kids toys and a travel-bug. Enjoy !
