Geocache Hike at Quarry Lakes - March 11
Geocaching is the “sport” of finding hidden treasures (”caches”) using GPS receivers (including many smartphones). On March 11 we will head to Quarry Lakes Regional Park for some treasure hunting. We did a geocache hike at Coyote Hills in 2009.
Where: Quarry Lakes Regional Park, Fremont. Meeting near the south parking area adjacent to Rainbow Lake (shown with red X).
When: Sunday, March 11 at 1 pm
Note: in the event of rain we will try again on March 18.
These are caches we will hunt for. URLs for registered users of Geocaching.com only.

Found the cache!
Triumph!
Just curious, but why aren’t we meeting at the Isherwood Staging Area, where there is free parking?
It’s an option. But at 1 pm in the afternoon that parking area is quite full and it is unlikely we’d all be able to get a spot. Park there if you’d like, though.
Ah, makes sense to me! Hope the rain stays away long enough to find some caches!
