Geocache Description:

This cache placed in an ammo can is located a one mile from the parking lot. Location is at Mission Hills Regional Park in Fremont, CA.

Welcome to the "Why?" cache placed in the foothills of Mission Peak Regional Park. This cache not only contains the usual trinkets but also contains a piece of “altered art” that allows you to explore some of thoughts and feelings you might have when a cache you have either hidden or found has been plundered.

I know that geocaching is just a sport but hey..it still stings when something you have taken the time to create has been ruined or stolen. This cache is dedicated to all of you have been through this experience.

Cache is in an ammo box hidden in a area that is wide open to the skies where you can relax, sit and ponder.

To be honest I am not very happy about the coords. At this location my GPS appeared possessed. However, the cache is hidden at a prominent land feature. See the hints for more details.

Please log in your find and share some of your thoughts. I am especially interested in your thoughts on how to handle the "stings" you feel when your cache has been plundered.

Thanks to BykeNut for the remnants of her burnt cache, and her and Team Dralasite's encouragement to finish this project. Also, thanks to Walruz for his suggestion for the placement.

If you come to find this cache late in the day you might try to find Touch the Twilight (a night cache).

Another cache in this area is Eucalyptustream

A cache that is located near the parking lot is Assume Nothing #2

Have fun!
