Geocache Description:

It's almost Black Friday, but I don't want to go shopping. I want to go geocaching! I've placed a series of 8 new caches for Cache Friday.


This cache is near the Garden Hill Drive entrance to Vasona County Park and the Los Gatos Creek Trail. You're looking for a small container well hidden with natural camo. (Some might call it a micro. It's more like a large micro or a very small.) It's hidden pretty well because I understand the cache that was previously in this area went missing quite a bit.

The closest access is the trailhead at the end of Garden Hill Drive, or by walking along the road itself. I love this entrance in the fall because you get to drive through all the gorgeous Chinese Pistache trees in full color. Whoever said we don't have seasons in California must not have seen these trees. Park hours are 8:00am to sunset. Happy hunting!

Congrats to Geokashers on the official FTF!

Update Dec. 18, 2016: I've archived the Cache Santa bonus cache to make room for something new. All of the traditionals in the series will remain active. If you finish all of the 8 Cache Friday traditionals, message me and I'll drop off one of the finisher's prizes for you in a cache near you. (While supplies last.)
