Coming Home??? Traditional Cache
Trail Reader: After the last note, I decided to swing by here and check things out. The access gate from Salinas Ave. was gone, so I had to hike in from the rec trail. Although GZ was still there, I was unable to locate the container. However, with large scale construction vehicles a stone's throw away, I would have been retrieving it anyway. Since my son has been home for ten years now, I guess the cache's question has been answered! Thanks to all who visited!! Archived.

Will he, or won't he? Only time will tell...
My son has been living in Paraguay since September 2007. He originally left the United States to become a Peace Corps volunteer. After his initial two years of service, he signed on for a third year, and then a fourth.
In 2012, he began a nine-month stint working for Paraguay's National Ministry of Tourism and the Environment as a landscape architect, the same position he had held as a fourth-year PCV. However, as the year comes to a close, my son has once again found his way back to the Peace Corps, working in a short-term assignment as a Technical Trainer for the incoming group of Environmental Education PCVs.
Over the years, I have documented my son's time in Paraguay with a number of caches:
"P" Is For Paraguay (GC19FYJ)
One of the Guays... (GC19YDJ)
Caacupe, Paraguay (GC20GFW)
Do You Know The Way To Paraguay? (GC20J6M)
Three Years and Counting... (GC2FGHR)
My Son's Second Tongue (GC2Q9GF)
I Shook the Hand of the Man... (GC2WQXM)
Although I am extremely proud of his Peace Corps service, with his trainer position ending on December 14, 2012, I have my fingers crossed that he will decide to finally head home.
The container is a camo'd cylinder with a log, hidden just a short walk away from the main trail/path.
Parking is available on Salinas Avenue or near the drought-tolerant garden on Reservation Road.
NOTE: On December 28, 2012, my son returned home, jet-lagged and definitely suffering from culture shock. Although he had just been granted legal residency in Paraguay, he plans to devote the next six months to locating a job here before even considering a return to South America. Again, we'll see...
