50% in Castro Valley

Had a couple of hours, so…

First, I dropped a travel bug in Tri Valley Travel Bug Hotel (it was roundTUIT which I retrieved from Dead Drop 238).

Then I stopped for a quick grab of HOWDY PARTNER at the Rowell Ranch Rodeo grounds. This was an easy find.

From there I went to the end of Eden Canyon road looking for Garden of Eden, but didn’t find it. I was zeroing out in a pile of eucalyptus bark and didn’t want to dig through it. I was also a little disconcerted by a pack of yapping dogs that seemed to be coming closer. Now I see from the logs that maybe the coords are off a bit.

Driving back to the freeway on Eden Canyon road, I stopped to find The Two Litl Ps TB Bed & Breakfast Inn, where I grabbed another TB, “20th Anniversary” Grave Digger.

Just a short ways away (but a drive to get across to the south side of the freeway), I found RIDCA, which is right at a neighborhood trailhead. Following the trail, I attempted to find LogSplitter, but it was right in an area with a small stream running through it and quite a few berry vines. I wasn’t in the mood to get stuck with berry thorns and get my boots wet.

Walking back to the car, I continued on to Water Fall – NO PARKING, which is an artificial waterfall on a fairly busy road. Landscapers were working just across the street so I didn’t feel I could poke around in the bushes and trees without attracting their attention.
