This spice-jar sized micro cache is in a correspondingly tiny park with a surprising number of interesting things to look at. Park your bike and look around.
Root Park was deeded to San Leandro in 1917 and renovated in 1996. It contains a unique access to San Leandro Creek with quiet places to sit beneath the trees. The construction of the creek access may, in itself, be interesting to some.
Wander around above the creek to see California Historic marker #246, Dahlia beds, a plaque celebrating Juan Bautista de Anza’s expedition to the site in 1775, and a sculpture honoring the Portuguese Immigrant.
Wander down toward the creek to see a 19,000 square foot mural. The mural, entitled “Nature’s Hidden Treasure”, depicts the Creek as it was in the early 18th century, filled with rainbow trout and fished by Native American tribes for food.
At the time it was placed the cache contained only a sign-in sheet, pencil stub, and FTF Travel Bug. Once the FTF bug is gone there will be room for a few very small items.
By the way, there are at least two men who seem to live at this park. It is probably best not to go into the creek area after dark as I suspect they sleep there. Use stealth mode in seeking and retrieving this cache: there are often people in the area.
7/27/03 Update: Added, by popular request, a string to the lid of the cache for more ease in retrieving it.
