This is a beautifully typical Northern California hiking park. Austin loves to run here. It has pine, oak, madrone, manzanita, seasonal streams, ponds, paved trails, and more challenging trails. It really deserves to have more than just one cache in it.
It also has the kind of hazards that are indigenous to the area. I didn't choose a hiding place that was particularly bad, it just seems that city slickers don't seem to have common sense about these things.
If you are unaware of how to live with them them, or overly concerned about them you shouldn’t be caching in this part of the world.
Poison Oak: Leaves of three, leave me be. The problem is that if you are reactive to the stuff, even the bare branches in winter can get you. More info may be found on this

Rattle Snakes: If you are off main trails, carry a walking stick to poke in front of you as you go. Don’t stick your hand or face into places before you have carefully and thoroughly checked it out first. Sleepy winter snakes can bite just as much as warm summer ones.
Deer Ticks: These are the little black dots they warn you about. They carry Lyme Disease, but it just isn’t as rampant as the scare stories say. Wear light colored clothes and give yourself a good brushing off before you get in your car. And if you have a dog, do a good combing too.
