There is one special geocache in each of the East Bay Regional Parks properties (except a few that don't allow geocaches.) At the time of this cache placement, the park district encompasses 199,000 acres. Please enjoy all the parks and trails, but please respect the rules.
Be sure to stamp your passport with the stamp provided in the geocache. A few blank passports were in the container when the cache was hidden. To be sure of having a passport, download one via Passport To The Parks. In a pinch you can stamp a blank piece of paper and glue it into your passport later. When you completely fill up your Passport, you can redeem it for a special prize. Of course, there is no cost for participating.

Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve is a special area within the East Bay Regional Park District. One of its neatest features is the Huckleberry Path Nature Trail, a 1.75 mile loop. The preserve protects a variety of rare and beautiful plants including three different kinds of Manzanita.
In order to protect the park, the cache was placed just outside the actual Huckleberry Preserve boundaries. Parking is in the Huckleberry lot. Take a short jaunt to the cache site then come back and explore Huckleberry! It’s worth it! Dogs, bikes and horses are restricted in most areas of Huckleberry, however, so it’s best to leave them home if you plan to explore the park.
For a little extra adventure, this Passport cache was placed at the start of one the 2016 Trails Challenge routes. Join the 23rd Annual Trails Challenge and have some fun!
