Geocache Description:

Sacramento Northern Railroad - Oakland Antioch & Eastern Railway - Walwood Branch

This is a small cache, so only small trading items please. However, it is very easy to spot!

This is an easy drive-up cache. Be careful of muggles in the area as it is not well hidden! Neighboring home owners are aware of the cache, but, of course, please do not disturb them.

Original Contents:
Log, Welcome Sheet & Pen (Don't take)

... and a few prizes.

History of Area:
This is near the location of one of two derailments within 2 weeks. Railcars returning from Spreckels Sugar Company's Lime Stone Quarry (now Boundary Oak Club House) crashed at the bottom of the hill coming down what is now Valley Vista. The old water tower in the background of this picture can still be seen from the creek over-crossing on Valley Vista near this cache.
