Geocache Description:

I won't lie, I still have a bit to learn about letterboxing, but I noticed some common pet peeve's people have with them. Like the lack of a hand carved stamp, a stamp unrelated to the cache name, or sometimes even no stamp at all! So here's one for cachers and letterboxers alike to enjoy!

I noticed a slight lack of these types of caches in the area, so I thought I'd try my hand at one. Also went ahead and carved a 2 sided stamp to give finders some options.

As is traditional Letterboxing style, the cache is not at the posted coordinates, but these are the clues to get to it:
-From the posted coordinates you will walk towards Redwood City most of your journey, and be careful when crossing the street along the way.
-Keep walking along the centennial, past SO SPRUCE ᴀᴠᴇ and BART STATION ↑
-Continue along past some highly protected concrete.
-Don't look back or you will be warned to STOP from continuing on AHEAD.
-Right past that warning, continue along past 3 black pillars of light.
-Look to your left at a big light above DBI only.
-Count to 19 with yellow lines, then walk right off of the path.
-You will come to a halt with an orange water fountain in view. Search at the same level it's on.

Please leave the stamp and ink pads in the cache, they are the whole base behind this letterbox.

Congratulations caccbag, starting the new year off with a FTF!
