Geocache Description:

At the location of the old Velvet Turtle restaurunt that was heare years ago. Many years have past, and now has become the parking lot for Harbor Freight.


Quick park and grab, parking lot cache. Don't look in that nasty drain.

From the 60s-90s there was a restaurant here called the Velvet Turtle, later it became a Buffet, and a few years ago it burned down and the location has been re-developed into a brand new Harbor Freight store

When the cache was placed the buffet was still here and the location was actually the end of Pasadena Ave. with a guard rail to stop speeding cars from ending up on the freeway.

with the redevelopment the street was removed and has become the front parking lot of Harbor Freight but the guard rail and the cache remained.
