Geocache Description:

An interesting diversion along Del Puerto Canton Road. There is a small pullout on the other side of the road, but there are no guardrails, so please be very careful while parking and crossing the road.

You're looking for a concealed, non-magnetic micro. It's up high, near the entrance. I've had a few caches here go missing, so hopefully this one will stay put for a while.... (Sign-only, and bring your own pen.)

It smells a bit in here, and I wouldn't want to come in with bare feet! A recent log also mentioned bats. :)

Del Puerto Canyon is a long, relentlessly twisty, classic backroad of the type I very much enjoy but not everyone does. Please drive carefully and realize that there are no gas stations anywhere between Patterson, San Jose, and Livermore on these roads, and there likely will be no cell reception in most places, and so on. Plan accordingly.

This appears to be an old mine entrance which has been sealed up. The concrete floor has what are perhaps indications that there used to be tunnels down from here I guess? There is a lot of quartz in the vicinity which I think used to be associated with gold mines, and I know they used to mine for magnesium in this canyon back in the 40s. But if anyone has any definite information on this mine, please include it with your log.

Congratulations to Geokashers for FTF (and 5 touchdowns!) after eight days.
