This is a two-stage cache. Go to the above coordinates and look for the geocaching.com logo. There you will find the missing coordinates of the real cache. All you'll see are two three-digit numbers. The degrees and minutes parts are the same as for the first stage; just change the fraction parts of the coordinates to the numbers you find, and then look for the new location.

The cache is about 0.2 miles from the previous site. It's a Rubbermaid 1 gallon "Servin' Saver Rectangle" in a little stone shelter.

No bushwacking is necessary for either location - stick to the paths and you'll get there. In fact you can mountain bike to within fifty feet of both locations. Or walk from the free parking area, it'll be about a mile round trip. There is no poison oak in this area. Off-leash dogs are allowed.

Initial contents of the cache:

• Geocaching info sheet.
• A notepad and two pens, to log your visit.
• A disposable camera, to take a picture of yourself, the site, whatever. Let me know when it is full.
• A squashed penny from the Lawrence Hall of Science.
• A plastic letter opener in the shape of a nude woman.
• A weird plastigoop fish thingy.
• A black plastic tube that makes weird noises when you tilt it.
• A bunch of pale-green Hollerith punch cards.
• An amber plastic pyramid filled with liquid and miniature fake quarters (I found this during Coastal Cleanup Day 2000).
• A green plastic wind-up lizard.
• A white plastic egg keychain with a moving farm scene inside.
• One pink and one blue plastic sleeve thingy filled with glitter liquid.

Suggestion: as you'll find out when you get there, this park has become a sort of informal outdoor folk-art gallery. As an optional alternative to the usual take-a-toy / leave-a-toy thing, you could bring something you made and install it somewhere nearby. Or bring some paints and decorate a rock. Or build a cairn of rocks holding up a stick. Or think of something on your own! geocaching.com page for this cache.
