Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Nearby parking on street, but NO parking 10PM to 6AM. Cool old non-active tiled fountain to look at on your way to cache. The concession stand is closed and is used by the gardeners now.

Opened in 1922, Backesto Park has been revitalized over the years. It is active with bocci, handball, tennis, baseball, basketball, and soccer. Not as family friendly late at night, though. This hide started out extremely easy...you'd have thought it was in a stream as wet as it stayed, even in summer. August 2005, moved it around the corner from where it was to a drier place in a different container. June 2007, replaced muggled container at same coords, but that went missing. September 2007 replaced with new container and updated coords.
