Nomex: Hi Doug&Jennifer
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, [RED]and assuming it still meets the guidelines[/RED], we'll be happy to unarchive it.

You may email me at via the link to my profile on the log. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GCxxxx number, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

Access to this cache should be from the bicycle/walking trail only. Do NOT park on the nearby freeway. Cache is within fifteen feet of trail, so there is no reason to look near the highway.

Virtually 100 percent of all artichokes grown in the U.S. come from California. As commodities go, when compared to items like corn, wheat and rice, artichokes are a minor crop. Total crop value for the 2002 - 2003 crop year was more than $50 million.

Nearly two-thirds of the State's crop comes from the fog-shrouded fields surrounding Castroville. The moderate climate of the central coast of California, characterized by cool summers and mild winters, is an ideal growing area.

The artichoke is a perennial in the thistle group of the sunflower family. In full growth, the plant spreads to about 6 feet in diameter and about 3 to 4 feet high.

This cache originally contained a U.S. Geocoin, Tweety mug, finger puppet, San Jose Sharks pin, "George" buck, Martian toy, tennis ball, pen set, and a rubber rabbit.
