Take a moment today to watch the ducks...
Then search for the six convicts, and find the one who has escaped
his cage!
The start is in San Jose, and is reached by turning WEST off of
Santa Teresa Blvd. onto Blossom Hill Rd. Cross the lightrail and
look for the FISH near the PIER. You can park on the RIVER, WEST of
the pier.
Walk roughly NORTH down the ramp, and here we will calibrate
your stride. Your pace and mine may differ both in length and
definition. At the base of the ramp is a sign reminding you to SLOW
down (always good advise). Just beyond this, to the NORTH, is
another (lest you forget). Between these I measure 48 paces (each
pace is a left and a right).
Now continue NORTH 19 paces. Here you will find directions to
reach the end, hidden in a small green box. I NEARLY discarded
these, but only just nearly...
Once you reach the end have a seat and take time to
contemplate:
...why NOT eat fish?
...what IS that pole there for?
...are they REALLY sorry I can't swim?
After coming to terms with these and other questions, turn and walk
2 paces SOUTH, and scramble up 2, to find the escaped convict. The
treasure is at his feet.
This Letterbox Hybrid cache contains a log and a handmade
rubberstamp. The stamp is not a trade item and
must remain within the cache! This is used to stamp your
personal letterbox journal. If you have a personal stamp, bring it
and stamp the cache log, if not you may hand sign it instead.
The original cache went missing (eaten by ravenous bees I
think), and a replacement was made in Jan. 06. This is nearly
identical to the original, including the stamp.
