Geocache Description:

A 35 mm film canister micro in a popular North San Jose park. Easy to reach, close to an interesting organization's headquarters.

The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley cares for nearly 5,000 birds and mammals from over one hundred species each year. They have a small display in their offices, although the animals themselves are kept away from visitors. This micro is located near their site in Penitencia Creek Park (that name has already been used for another cache farther downstream). This popular park has something for everyone including kids and dogs. The man-made lake has been named Best Places Not to Feed the Ducks by Metro (so don't!). The hide was inspired by Tammie the Dog's Urban Jungle Metal Sculpture, one of my first, and still favorite, micro cache finds. (I had no idea dogs could be so devious...) This is a busy area but you've got a good view in all directions for a stealthy cache find unobserved by geomuggles.

Bring a pen to log your visit to this sign-only cache, a "classic" 35mm film canister.
