One of the things that cemented my living in the Bay Area has
been the wilderness next door. Albany Hill is a perfect example.
Right next to the residences, there are spots that remind us of the
wildness of the place. According to the related web page, 134
native plant species have been identified on the hill, and not far
from this spot, you can see the grinding rocks used by the Ohlone
tribes in the area.
A short walk from parking, but a straight line is not always the
easiest path. Even though it may seem close, there may be an
easier, albeit longer way to reach this cache.
There are ample opportunities for CITO in this area, although
the cache site was somewhat cleaner than other areas not far away.
Be wary of muggles, especially after school lets out.

Replace the cache and the natural camouflage to preserve it for
the next finder.
