Geocaching - Mission Clay Tile Works

N 37.59146° W 121.95252° / N 37° 35.488' W 121° 57.151'

Difficulty:   Terrain:

A nice abandoned industrial site from around 1900. Getting there involves about a mile of walking or biking on a level dirt road. No bushwacking until the last ten feet. However, be warned: this is private property with lots of No Trespassing signs all over. There are also some homeless encampments on the way in. If any of this freaks you out, don't go! And if you do go, don't be surprised if you get told to leave, or worse.

The cache is a 7.62mm ammo box. Initial contents:

• Geocaching info sheet.
• A notepad and two pens, to log your visit.
• A disposable camera, to take a picture of yourself, the site, whatever.
• A metallic-green whistle/keyfob.
• A metallic-green yin-yang mini-carabiner.
• A metallic-blue regular mini-carabiner (they didn't have green).
• A green rubber ball.
• A green plastic golf ball.
• Some green army men.
• A Hoberman flight ring (green).
• Three Singing Science CDs.

Note: this cache has been involuntarily "archived" on the geocaching.com site, presumably due to my warnings about the No Trespassing signs. The cache does in fact exist, though. My impression is that the signs are of the 'avoiding liability' type, rather than the 'really stay out' type. But like I said, if it freaks you out, don't visit. geocaching.com page for this cache.
