Howie and I did a hike close by to Albany on this grey overcast day. It was in an OSI nature preserve adjacaent to Thatcher Park. We started at the trailhead at the end of Ryan road. We hiked mostly on the Long Path (aqua paint markers), but also took a couple detours on some mark and unmarked paths and wood roads. One led to the hang gliding launch site. There was a small memorial plaque embedded in the rock:
"E.C.S. Jr. 1919 1992
Dad
Fly Forever"
Round-trip Distance: 6.5 mi
Alien rock formations at the quarry

Do you still do geocaching?
No, I stopped doing geocaching. I liked the idea of finding new places to visit, but not the part where you wander around trying to find the actual cache (the gps unit only brings to the general area - you still have to search for the container which is hidden).
It also tends to concentrate use on off trail areas which is sometimes not a good thing.
