Geocache Description:

This cache is dedicated to the memory of Jake Thomas Eby, and all the children and young-at-heart who have played (or have yet to play) at his namesake play lot.

Jake was a two-year-old boy who died in a tragic accident in 2000. Community fundraising for his memorial fund supplemented by funds from the City of San Jose resulted in the dedication of a safe toddler lot at Parma Park on June 16, 2002 - which would have been Jake's fifth birthday. Although my youngest is now a pre-teen, he and his two brothers still enjoy stopping by this park on our way to or from the nearby library.

This cache replaces the original cache of the same name (GCG7AV, our first find!) in time to mark JPL's 10-year anniversary and what would have been Jake's 15th birthday. The original nanocache is now a camo-taped plastic cylinder. Since JPL, and Parma Park in general, is normally bustling with muggle activity, please use the hint to facilitate a stealthy retrieval and return. Thanks.

Congratulations to GunnerBoyz on their original FTF!
