I always enjoy meeting fellow cachers, and this cache is close to home. Feel free to contact me and let me know when you will be visiting, and I will try to pop down for a meet and greet. This cache is the only one with room for swag, so bring it!
The cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find it, you must solve the puzzle below. The container is accessible every day but only between the hours of 10:30 am and 8:30 pm. It is placed with permission by the very friendly shop owners. You may want to give a wave so they don't think you're stealing it!
**Update: Although the shop technically opens at 9 am, the owners have requested that I say the cache is available at 10:30 am because they need some time to get their sidewalk displays out. Please respect this time as they are doing me a favor by guarding the cache. Cache is a 12x12x9 bright green box with geocaching label on lid. Owners have been keeping it on a shelf just inside the door to the left, under the cash wrap.**
Bay Area geocachers, I’ve had a ton of fun both finding your caches and meeting some of you at various events. It’s been too long for me not to hide any caches of my own. Thanks for making the sport so enjoyable. Without further ado, let’s roll the credits!
