This cache was upgraded as an entry in the Geocachers of
the Bay Area (theGBA.net) March 2006 Cache Upgrade Contest.
Now there is a place near 19th Street BART for Travel Bugs and
swag trading... Anyway, at one point in time it had been my
first hide; I have learned a little bit since then, and had been
making minor improvements before completely replacing the
container.
This cache --
formerly a micro and now a generous small-- has been placed at
a hidden jewel of landscaping among Oakland's office buildings.
Come and enjoy the location. If you work in the area, bring your
lunch (although be aware of an increased need for stealth at
lunchtime). As always when caching, bring your own writing
implement.
Travel Bugs are welcome to rest here until they can "acquire
another host body". ;-7
This cache is accessible Monday through Friday, during
daylight/early evening(?) hours. Thank you to the geocachers who
have made the attempt at other times, and let me know their results
(Kablooey, WalruZ, Cowboy Coffee).
More information about the location -- SPOILER! -- is at
this URL. Please be advised that the words "Fifteen" and
"Hospital" are not correct, in every place that they appear
in that description; it is otherwise a fairly comprehensive
description, even with its inaccuracies.
Hints: the first hint will get you to the general location of
the cache (as will the above URL). The second hint is a general
clue to get you near to the cache, without giving it away on a
silver platter. Parking hint: on-street parking is sometimes
difficult, during the day. Plan to either grab a parking meter, or
combine this with a bank transaction (Thanks, 4Wheeler.).
Have fun!
FTF: k5incali (upgraded);
teampipperice (original)!
Congratulations! ;-D
