It's had a good long run and the beautiful view from the spot will still be there to enjoy.

Any log attempts after today will be deleted so everyone has been notified.

Enjoy the view and don't worry about your find count not growing by one number.

Geocache Description:

Ciao from Cinque Terra !

Here from California, USA to visit my daughter and her husband in Roma and to hike the Cinque Terra.

If you are a cacher who likes hiking, you will like this one. It is a film cannister about 10 feet off the trail, tucked into the rocks.

If you come for this cache, you will need to do some research to get here. We came from Roma (via Siena and Florence) to get to La Spezia, then a 5 minute train ride to Riomaggiore. From there you start walking to the other four towns. After Riomaggiore comes Manarola. This cache is between the third and fourth towns..between Corniglia and Vernazza. The fifth town is Monterosso.

The sights are incredible ! Nothing like this in California, USA.

I hope you go for this cache and enjoy the hike in the process.

Contents at placement were:

  • USA flag pin
  • Mexico/USA flag pin
  • Recycle pin
  • Some other pin !

With your back to the obvious small rock wall, you have a wonderful view of Corniglia. If you want a step by step to find the cache, go to the hint, otherwise avoid it, as it is a spoiler.
