My local neighborhood trailhead to Santa Teresa County Park is now
official! I had a cache here when it was an
unofficial one), but the neighbors complained about the all the
hikers, bikers, and joggers using the trail, so the county closed
the trail to the public. Those neighbors have since moved and the
county now has made this a legal trailhead.
As this is now an official trailhead, official trail signs are
posted, though you have to walk in a little from the street parking
to see them. The Santa Clara County Mounted Ranger unit is also
there . Another cache is not far away up the trail from this
trailhead and if you go further up the trail (and it definitely is
up, and steep), you can reach many other caches in the park.
Park hours are from 8:00am to sunset. Dogs on leash and bicycles
are allowed on the trail.
Cache is in a camo taped, short cylindrical container which
contains a FTF geocoin, several geo-pins, and logsheet. Bring your
own pen.
As this trail borders the local neighborhood
residences, please take care to not disturb them while searching
for the cache. The cache can easily be reached from the trailside,
so do not search near the neighbor's fences.
