Geocache Description:

Find all eight caches to locate this cache. All caches are located in Dry Creek Pioneer Park, in Union City.

This cache is NOT located at the coordinates posted.

Welcome to the Nefertiti’s Pyramid cache

Queen Nefertiti has hidden her final treasure chest in the nether reaches of this park.

Your journey will be about 4-5 miles on mainly flat territory. If you find yourself huffing and puffing while climbing a hill you are taking the hard way!

Map of the park

You can park at the trailhead where there is an outhouse, and water at the end of May Road N37 36.431 W122 01.078

If you attempt this series on a hot day please bring water! In the summer, I recommend gaiters and long pants.

The FINAL cache coords can be found on the log sheet for the Offerings cache listed below.

The caches that belong to this series are the following:

Do these first:

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: Offerings

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: Royal Gates

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: Underworld

Then backtrack and do these next:

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: King Tut

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: Viper

Nefertiti’s Pyramid: Throne

Bonus points if you do not cut and paste the same thing for all these caches. I always think people are having a horrible time when they do that ;-)

Have fun!



Note: A fellow geocacher (Gschmeidler) made a video about geocaching which includes this series. You can find it here: http://vimeo.com/15908054

Update: Oct 22, 2016 I changed the location of the final hiding place and you no longer need to erect a pyramid. I had to greatly simplify this experience because one of the main clues (an enormous tree trunk that crossed the creek) was hauled away. This video shows what the hunt used to look like.
