Nomex: Hi
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, [RED]and assuming it still meets the guidelines[/RED], we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Don't hesitate to email me via the link on my Profile if you have any questions. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GC Code, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:


There are a lot of caches hidden at Quarry Lakes Regional Park, but there was room for another. Quarry Lakes has a long history in Fremont. It's roots lie when gravel was taken from the banks of Alameda Creek and used in the construction of the transcontinental railroad's western section.

After quarrying came to an end, the lakes began to be used for groundwater recharge by the Alameda County Water District, which diverts water from Alameda Creek into the pits.

It's a great place to hike and ride... and hide a cache or two. This cache is a camouflaged container. Original contents include a camo bouncy ball, an alien, and a compass ring... ooo, that could come in handy sometime. :) Please use natural material to hide again if necessary. It is relatively close to the parking area so some stealthiness may be required at peak visiting times.

There is a $5 entry fee to the park if you enter from Quarry Lakes Drive. Free parking is available at the Isherwood Staging area on Isherwood Way.
