This is the latest in a continuing series of hides that I place in
Berkeley parks that don't have caches (and are eligible for
caches). I wanted to do some more hides; Berkeley has many parks
without caches... seemed like a good match. I am seeing a lot of
Berkeley's smaller parks, and noticing things that I might not have
seen otherwise; perhaps you hunters will appreciate this, too.
This otherwise unassuming stretch of turf in Southeast Berkeley,
while it lacks features, more than makes up for it in the name. Say
it with me, people: MONKEY! ISLAND! PARK! I mean, monkeys!
What's not to like? (Okay, maybe it could have used some
monkeybars, for the theme?)
Berkeley parks are open from 6am to 10pm (unless otherwise
posted). Please represent responsible Geocaching, and respect the
rules of the park.
The cache itself is a 35-mm film canister (log only, please),
outfitted with a rare earth magnet. There is also a hider-made
polymer clay magnet included for the FTF. It is hidden in the only
place it could be. Please exercise stealth; the difficulty is
partially entirely muggle-related.
You may find parking for some of this series to be somewhat
challenging. I encourage you to find out how
bikeable/walkable/transit-able (most of) Berkeley's parks can be.
(The ones that are hardest to transit/walk to have the easiest
parking; funny how that works out. %-} )
FTF: CrazyOn2Wheels!
Congratulations!
