Borrowed description from website:

"Mount Umunhum, located within the 18,000 acre Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve in Santa Clara County, is one of the highest peaks in the Santa Cruz mountain range at 3,486 feet. From its spectacular summit, visitors can experience 360-degree views from the Pacific to the Sierra Nevada!

This new Open Space destination also offers a rich nature experience that is accessible to visitors of all abilities, as well as unique opportunities to: Learn about Mount Umunhum’s significance to the Native American community,and the opportunity to connect to the mountain in your own way at the summit Ceremonial Space. Discover the Radar Tower, once a key part of the west coast’s missile defense system, up close. Find your favorite spot in Silicon Valley from the Summit Shelter and Viewpoint.

****************

To claim this virtual cache, you must go to the Summit Shelter and viewpoint, and gather answers to the following 4 questions:

1. Find "Scanning the Skies". What is the tail number of the Convair F-106?

2. Find "Early People of Mount Umunhum". To the right of the picture of the 3 tribe members, in small print, tell me whom is this picture courtesy of?

3. What is the maximum occupancy of the viewdeck?

4. Just outside of the shelter you will see a yellow call box. On the sign above it, how many white squares and rectangles do you see?

While not mandatory, it would be great if you posted a picture of your experience. (no spoilers of course, do I really need to say that?).

Please email me the answers in a timely manner within logging the cache.
