Holey Moley - What a View! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Annie Organ: Sadly, yes, the container went away and since I have also, I will have to Archive this one. Hopefully someone else will place a nice, new cache here, because this is really a great view...and who doesn't love a cemetery?!

Geocache Description:

Container type and location were changed in September 2017 after the fence was replaced. It is now log only; BYOP. Parking is available at GZ for a quick grab. Approach from Franciscan Way, not from within the cemetery. It is visible from the right angle. To log, unscrew but do not detach.


People pull off here to enjoy the beautiful views across the Sunset View Cemetary, the Bay and out through the Golden Gate to the Pacific.

The parking is unrestricted here so if you would like you can leave the car and continue walking south about .2 mile along Franciscan Way. Watch out for cars, as there is no sidewalk here. At the end of Franciscan Way you will come across two places of interest.

First up is the Sunset View Cemetary cache GC4YG0G. This cache was my first find in September 2015, and it was also Br0tat0's first hide.

Second, if you walk to the right through the gate, a short walk will take you to the Sunset Mausoleum and Columbarium. It is not affiliated with the Cemetary. The mausoleum was built in 1927, on 7 acres that the association purchased from the cemetary. This amazing building, which is often visible from across the Bay, is very peaceful, a tad macabre, and full of interesting sights. Free feel to pay it a visit and wander around.

When placed, the cache contained a green ninja alien, a mini-cloissonné landscape and, in a baggie, a real amethyst for the FTF! The replacement container cannot hold anything but the log.

Congratulations to BerkeleyBoomers for their FTF!
