Rosita Park: I found this a while back, but evidently forgot to log it. I came again today, and things were looking strangely familar, but didn't realize it until I saw my name in the log! TFTC.

Half Dome in the Park: That's just wrong.

Ex Post Cacho: There was a steady stream of visitors to the nearby establishment. Oh, I get it...the last Sunday before Tax Day. TFTC.

Jumping Poles: I found it after poking around a bit. It was quite a struggle to get the rusty bent lid off. Took the TB. TFTC.

Bay Area Calibration Point #1: I was out caching with GPSr only, and didn't realize what this was until now...Whoops!

I Just Had to Sit Down: I shloshed my way over from 'Juan'. All that mud on my shoes made for a tough haul. Hopefully no horses until things dry out a bit. TFTC.

Juan Slept Here: A quick find, but for some reason I had a devil of a time extracting it. Fat fingers I suppose. Boy, is it ever muddy. Beautiful view from the top of the hill just past the cache. Thanks!

Pirate's Booty: All quiet on a somewhat stormy afternoon. TFTC.

Diridon Station: Not a good start...it took me 15 minutes in the rain to find this cache. I probably looked right at it 5 times before realizing what I had. What a stinker!

Race Station: A little more walking that I expected since all the parking lots were chained off. TFTC.

VTA Fruitdale Station: I found the cache and then stopped in for a soda. One of San Jose's finest was there getting a snack too. TFTC.

VTA Bascom Station: Ahhh, that's more like it: 15' from car to cache. Thanks!

VTA Hamilton Station: I definitely got lucky on this one. There were plenty of places to hide, but I walked right up to it.

VTA Downtown Campbell Station: Ohhh no...the code is missing. Not insurmountable...I think. Sorry, I didn't have any fresh logs with me today: this cache needs attention.

VTA Winchester Station: I had to wait until the girl at the drive-thru expresso shop got a customer. Also, I found a pair of scissors and a roll of clear packing tape right next to the cache...weird. TFTC.

End Station - VTA Mystery Cache: A fun series! Fortunately the rain held off long enough for me to get everything done. With one of the clues missing, I was able to determine two sets of coordinates. Fortunately, I chose correctly, and knew I was in the right place before finding the final cache. I signed the log #100. Thanks for all the hard work putting this together. I'm glad I had the tour!
