Geocache Description:

Random event in SD history
May 19th 2008 - there was an explosion in the Hilton Hotel that blew out floors 4-7 facing towards the ballpark which littered the street and parking structure with debris. (see picture gallery/related web page)
Parking nearby is very hard. Will most likely require a little walk (unless your creative parking and geosenses feel you can retrieve very quickly)
As always be cautious of traffic...
FTF gets pick of one item

14 people were injured in the blast, and luckly no fatalities occured.

Room for small items... This cache was placed to see if anyone stopping by remembered the event(2 years later) or even felt it if you were close by. I could see the after effects from my office window, and my building shook from the shock wave.
***In the area for a convention or maybe even a ball game and have no idea what im talking about? Just keep enjoying the day!***
P.s.-Did the Padres win?
