Yet another "bonus" anchor has been placed about 150-ish yards SE-ish of the final cache location (i.e. toward tourist wharf #1). It is a beauty in the little area on the rec trail called Sister City Park. (If you enjoyed this multi then also check out Anchors of Monterey and Anchors of Pacific Grove)
