Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Cannery Row bike path and one of its great mystery spots! This is a very public micro sized cache with no room for a pen. Stealth should be attempted due to the high level of muggle traffic! The cache location is very kid friendly and pictures on the train are welcome. Actually, based on the logs having the kids search for this one makes life a little easier here! Happy hunting!

I've skated by this location a million times and I felt like it was time for a fun cache here! The "Ghost Train" as we called it when my friends and I were little, is located just a half block up from Historic Cannery Row and near many excellent restaurants/bars. In the early 1900's there was a railway here that was used to haul everything from Sardines to lumber from the Monterey and Pacific Grove area to just about all of California. The railroad tracks, now mostly covered up by the Monterey Recreation Trail, leave this lonely train caboose trapped as a relic of the past. *NOTE* The geocache is placed on the Ghost Train in a spot that does not require you to pry at or remove any feature on the train. I placed it the best spot that I could find to conceal you from passing muggles, and there is no need to get dirty looking for it :)
