I started with a walk in Oak Hills Park (next to Monte Vista High School on Round Valley Road) where I picked up 7 caches. The hardest one was It’s Alive–the camo just blended in so well. I looked for a long time, then left to go find some others in the park, then returned. Found it after a bit. For now I’ll count this cache for a 2.17 mile hike in the Diablo quad (Bay Area Quad challenge). Maybe I’ll get a longer hike in this quad before I finish all the quads.
Next I went to a nearly secret trailhead (Green Valley Trail) close to the end of Round Valley Road and picked up 3 caches in 1.25 miles.
Finally, I hiked from the Livorna Road trailhead to pick up Octagon and Twin Pond Loop (4.25 miles). I thought this was in the Diablo quad, but it’s in the Walnut Creek quad (and so is Briones, where I had a longer hike).
