The Road to Mom's House 2 Multi-Cache
beachbum67: everything was right where it's supposed to be, but the last stage is completely overgrown, so rather than have people risk life and limb, it's time to retire.
The Road to Mom's House 2

Similar to "Tassajara...Going Up", this could be called "Tassajara...Going Down". It's a 4 step multi cache decreasing in size.
Riding a bike is not only good for you healthwise, but you tend to catch things and have the ability to go places that you can't in a car, kind of a no brainer. I recently started to use my bike, rather than my car, to visit my parents who live a few miles down Sycamore/Tassajara Rd from me. Since then, I've found some trails that I never knew about. So I decided to stash a few caches to bring attention to them just in case nobody else knows about them. And it will also give me a chance to catch someone trying to find them, and I may be evil and pretend I'm a muggle and just park myself right on top of the cache for a few minutes to see what the reaction is.
This one is a 4 part multi starting with a 30 cal ammo can and working down to a sub micro. (if you're familiar with 'Tassajara..Going Up', you know what you're looking for).
The listed coordinates take you to the first step, which is the ammo can. There's a few trade items and taped to the top of the lid are the coordinates for the second step.
Step 2 is smaller than the ammo can, it has a few trade items and in the lid are the coordinates for Step 3.
Step 3 is a micro with a couple teeny tiny trade items, not much room for anything else. And yep, you guessed it, the coordinates for the last step are taped to the lid.
Step 4 is a sub micro with nothing except the log. Make sure when, or if, you find it, to roll it up and put it in the lid rather than the body, when you screw it back together. This will keep it from getting mushed.
You might want to write down all the coordinates of each step. You'll need them if you want to find "NOT the Road to Mom's House" from Wacka [GCP2EH]. I accidentally fat fingered a coordinate when I first posted this cache and sent him on a wild goose chase, but he found an awesome site for a hide along the way. You can scoot on over to that one right after finding this one.
And since I'm starting to get into the spirit of the game and have already placed a few caches with hints, I'm not giving any for this one, hence the 3 star rating. Steps 1-3 should be a breeze, they're your basic kinds of hides. Step 4 may prove a bit more difficult just because of the size.
You can't park on Tassajara, or most of the sidestreets. I recommend turning into Shady Creek Drive and park in the lot directly ahead of you, or turn right onto Shady Creek Place, then right on Shady Tree Court and park in one of the designated shady spots and you're on your shady way.
Bring the kids and the dogs and llamas if you want. I wouldn't blade it, one part of the trail is paved, the other part is gravel.
I also wouldn't recommend this one at night due to the fact that you will have to leave the trail, and also steps 3 and 4 are near a residential area, so if you're stumbling around with a flashlight, you may wind up getting some help from the Danville PD.
Good luck!
