Puzzles are fun. Some are a bit daunting, like decoding concealed Old Flemish anagrams from lotto numbers, others may be as simple as cutting shapes and rearranging. Here in the Bay Area we have some real brain twisters.
Part of the fun of caching in different places is trying out the local puzzles. You may learn a little something about the spot (or the local cachers) that you would normally pass by. For those of you who have found unknown caches away from home, here is a small (ok, VERY small) extra challenge tossed your way.
To log this challenge cache, you must have found unknown caches in at least five different US states or foreign countries. You may use this cache as your "California" entry. You may list them (by GC number) in your log entry below on this cache page, show a picture of your list, or provide a link to your statistics bot if you have one.
This location is accessible from a sidewalk alongside a natural area. You can park and make a quick grab or go for a nice walk. Note that street parking may be restricted during Levi's Stadium events. It's close to a river trailhead and a few blocks from VTA Light Rail (Lick Mill Station). You will need to bring a pen. Night caching here is not advised.
Update 8/2/19- The aging of vegetation made this a three-star hide without any challenge attached. The container also seemed to wander frequently. The hide style and camo are changed to keep it survivable but make it an easier find for geocachers. The size is now a micro and it's no longer a hanger. The location is maybe two feet away from the old spot.
Update 12/12/12- The damaged fence at original GZ is still not repaired, so the cache is being moved about 45 feet south. The coordinates are now adjusted for this move. The original container is still in play, but with some adjustment in camo and hint.
Congratulations to Monsterblader for the FTF
