Geocache Description:

A cash (cache) that will appeal to both the world traveler and the investor in all of us.

Just checked on the cache today (1/27/12) and all is well. No pen in the ammo can, though, so bring a writing utensil if you want to sign the log book. (Cache contents was dried out and the tupperware container replaced with an ammo can by KG Geocachers and InTheRough on 6/9/09. The cache owner thanks you!!!)

I placed this cache nearly 6 years ago (today is 1/7/07), so I thought it was about time to check on it. Made the stiff climb earlier today, and lo and behold, it's still there and in good shape! Removed non-theme related items and left coins from Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Denmark. We'll see if it lasts for another 6 years!

Put on your hiking boots and get ready for a) a green, flower-filled hike in the spring; b)a hot, sweaty, brown hike in the summer; c) a warm golden hike in the fall; d) a muddy hike in the winter. No matter what time of year you go, though, you're sure to enjoy the scenery!

The original contents of this cache included:

  • A Chinese banknote found in a geocache located in New Zealand. If you take it, please leave it in another geocache. Let's see how far it travels!
  • A New Zealand $5 bill
  • A Canadian $1 bill and some pocket change
  • An English One Pound note
  • Pocket change from:
    • Switzerland
    • France
    • Italy
    • The Netherlands
    • England
    • Germany
    • New Zealand
    • Belize
    • Another country I can't identify
  • Bag of pennies
  • U.S. $1 bill
  • U.S. $5 bill
  • Disposable camera
  • Logbook and pen
  • Geocaching note
The cache contents is in an ammo can. If possible, leave some small bit of foreign currency you have collected in your travels about the world. If that's not possible, leave what you can and dream about traveling somewhere around the world.

Be warned, there is some significant climbing (no technical, just steep) involved in getting to the cache. You'll finish knowing you got a good little workout!

Finally, watch out for poison oak, rattlesnakes, and ticks. In other words, keep an eye peeled for the normal hazards of hiking in the East Bay hills.
