The name of this cache may not be enticing, but then again, neither is the fairly recent history of this place! One hundred years ago, the site of the cache was underwater. (How's that for a 5 terrain! LOL.) Eventually, the city of Berkeley started putting its refuse here, until over 12 feet of trash had accumulated. Because this practice was prevalent around the bay, not just in Berkeley, San Francisco Bay shrunk to one third of its former size. If you had visited this site in 1963, you'd have been in the midst of steaming, burning trash. In fact, similar smoking dump sites dotted the 1000-mile waterfront, and only 4 miles of shoreline contained usable recreational space in the form of parks and shore access. We've come a long way, and today this is a lovely little walk not too far inland.
You are looking for a micro, log only, no room for a pen so please bring one. You'll need to use stealth as this trail can have some traffic, and please replace the cache carefully. As always, use care when feeling around for caches, as there can be animals, vegetation, etc. Happy caching!
