Geocache Description:

The cache fills a spot recently vacated by an abandoned cache, but is many yards away.

It is adjacent to Lomas Sante Fe Country Club Golf Course on a power line service road frequented by walkers and dog walkers. Please do not go onto the golf course or approach the cache from San Andreas Drive. It is a private club and it isn't necessary anyhow.
If you want to join then the fees are pretty reasonable. A full golf, tennis and social membership is merely $500+ a month (+circa $18,000 dollars invitation fee). Get in quick before they decide to stop being so generous.
If you want a slightly cheaper and shorter game then the Executive Golf Course, next to the country club is public and really good, you can get a round from $15. I have played there many times and the staff are great.
If you find any golf balls, please let me know and I will arrange to collect them from you as soon as I can ;-)
Park on Highland Drive, if in car, and head down the dirt road.

There is a clue in the cache title, one part of which is obvious, the other may take a bit of observational skill and the clue remaining in place (which it has done for at least 6 months to date). (Edit July 2016; The "Hope" part of the title was regarding words that someone had spelt out on the dirt road in stones "hope" "faith" and some others. The whole road was moved about at some point and it all went).

Any problems, please let me know and I can fix it pretty quickly if I am in town.
