Geocache Description:

Little cache by the Coyote Creek Trail, next to the Los Lagos Golf Course.

This cache was placed mid-way between the former locations of 2 muggled caches, Coyote Creek Los Lagos (visit link) and Stonegate's Gate (visit link)

The Coyote Creek Trail runs continuously from Anderson Dam in Morgan Hill to Tully Road (so far) in San Jose. The County Parks part of the trail stops at Hellyer Park. North of Yerba Buena Road, it's a San Jose city park trail. Between Yerba Buena and Capitol Expressway is an old section that's been repaired and cleaned up. North of Capitol is a newer section that looks as good as the county part of the trail. I put a series of caches here to draw attention to this trail segment. This section is sandwiched between Coyote Creek and the Los Lagos Golf Course from Capitol Expressway to Stonegate Park.

The Coyote Creek Trail runs through Stonegate Park in San Jose, at the end of the Los Lagos Golf Course. It runs next to Coyote Creek, which is behind a fence. It ends at Tully Road at the ballfields. How do you get here? Go up the Coyote Creek Trail. It starts in Morgan Hill. I recommend taking the trail north from Capitol Expressway. Park in the shopping center at Capitol and Tuers. The trail entrance is across the street. You can also drive north on Tuers Road off Capitol Expressway. Follow the golf course until it ends at Stonegate Park. You can also get here by taking Tully Road west from 101 and turning left (south) at Sherlock. Go around Stonegate School, turning right at Gassmann and follow it to the south end of the park. Park on Tuers near the end of the golf course. The trail gate is in the corner of the park.

The cache was muggled. I put a replacement a little farther from the trail. You'll have to go farther through the weeds. Make sure you cover up the cache to hide it from muggles. Watch out for golf balls.

The cache is about the size of a film can. Bring your own pen or pencil.
