Geocache Description:


The SV Philharmonic has come back, performing in San Mateo once a year with the SF Master Chorale. This cache, however, is not moving. For its third incarnation, this cache is back on the ground, at the base of the tree/bush where I think it was hanging. The new container is the size of a pretty large apple, but doesn't reach shoebox proportions. The composer clue is still the same for #4 so the puzzle for the final still works the same way.

Some cache history:

2025: Hanger cache also got muggled. 

2024: There was enough complaining about the ivy hide (and it seems to be gone) so I took it off the ground altogether. Plus, I got a nifty new container at an event that I could use. The coordinates are still the same in latitude and longitude but the height of the cache is now different. 

2022: Unfortunately Community Orchestra #4, SVPHIL, had to be archived due to landscaping at the original cache site. In its short life that cache went missing several times, and was easily confused with a letterbox, so it's not bad to put it in a new location. The SV Philharmonic itself is also still on COVID hiatus, so I put the cache across the street from another church where I am currently rehearsing for post-COVID concerts.
