Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates, but within 3 miles.

There are several entrances into Arastradero Preserve. This cache is hidden near one of them. There are no explicit coordinates hidden on this page or encoded in the text, and no certitude page to validate your solution. Instead, you will need a map to locate the possible cache locations, identify which one(s) is(are) the likely candidate(s), and go out and check them one by one. Before you get completely lost in the preserve, though, I have added a bit of information below. Enjoy!
