mjp303: I can see that the hiding spot is going to be removed as part of the construction going on nearby. I'll put a new cache up once things settle down.

Geocache Description:

The Bay Trail through Redwood Shores can be ridden as a level loop trip around the Redwood Shores peninsula on paved or gravel paths.

Redwood Shores is a 1500-acre peninsula that juts into San Francisco Bay east of Hwy 101, between Foster City and the Bair Islands. On its northwest flank is Belmont Slough. To the southeast is Steinberger Slough. Along its northeast point on San Francisco Bay are marshlands that are part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Artificial lagoons and channels run through the center of the peninsula, while sloughs and marshes surround it.

Along a lagoon trail between housing developments, this cache looks out over a large marsh next to Belmont Slough. Red-tail hawks can often be seen soaring overhead. The cache container is a sandwich-sized tupperware with log, pen, and room for small trade items.

The cache is on the open portion of the trail. Dogs are allowed, but must be on leash. Respect the endangered species' habitat behind the fences.

Although all of the caches in this series can be approached by car and found after a short walk, the experience will be much more enjoyable on a bike.
