Doll House Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

sammydee: As several have noted, the cache location is about to become hard to access, due to fences being installed. The fences are for cows, which will be reintroduced into the park in the future.

This cache lasted 9 years and 9 months, not bad for a one room house with no paint!

Geocache Description:

A "dollhouse" cache located in the Big Oak Valley of the Santa Teresa County Park.

This cache is at the entrance to the Big Oak Valley in the Santa Teresa County Park. Located on the Rocky Ridge trail, it is easily accessible from the Pueblo group picnic area ($5 parking fee), or could be reached from the free parking area at the end of Bernal Road via the Mine Trail. The Rocky Ridge trail is the easiest (but longest) route to Coyote Peak; at 1155 feet it provides great views from the buildings in downtown San Francisco (on a clear day) to Morgan Hill and Gilroy to the south.

The cache is intended to be a simple homemade wooden dollhouse, but you might not recognize it as such with its camoflage. One side of the "roof" opens to reveal the contents - the side that opens has much less camo than the other 4. The cache can hold travel bugs and other somewhat larger items - if you have oversized trinkets, they would be more appropriate at the nearby "Geocache" cache.

Please keep to the "dollhouse" theme. Initial contents of the cache are a very nice collection of miniatures that I won in the raffle at the BADGES picnic. Thanks very much to Leggoes for the cache contents, and the inspiration for this cache!! As always in this park, be on the lookout for rattlesnakes, poison oak and mountain lions. There's no visible poison oak near the cache, and no obvious snake holes, but better safe than sorry. A map of the park is here: link

NOTE: Some folks say the coords are right on, but quite a number say the cache is 20 feet uphill from the coords. Try both and see which works for you!
