Geocache Description:


Cache *is not* at the posted coordinates. 

This Letterbox Hybrid (LBH) cache starts at Santa Clara's Leonard J. George Fire Station (Station #1) at 777 Benton Street. This station was built in the 1990's and serves southeast Santa Clara including Santa Clara University with Engine 91 and Battalion 91. The station formerly was located at 1100 Benton in the early 1950's.

*** This cache is part of the Geocachers of the Bay Area (GBA) Cachin' the Bay 2025 Passport Series. Completed passports are no longer being accepted, since the Block Party is over, but the caches in the series will remain active for people to find! ***

This is a Letterbox cache. From the listed coordinates, follow the picture trail below to find the hidden cache which is only a short walk away.



 




*** Note: This letterbox features a custom 3D printed in-theme container which serves as both the log holder and the stamp. This is (now) a BYOIP (Bring Your Own Ink Pad) cache as there were issues with the ink pad that was attached to the stamp earlier. There is no room for swag or trade items in the outer pill bottle container.  Open the custom stamp/log holder within by unscrewing the base of that container counter-clockwise as viewed from that end.  Replace the log and screw-in the base clockwise and place the stamp/logholder inside the outer pill bottle container as found to its hidden position. ***
