The Dump

By: Joseph Ruff Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

4:30pm This might be the oldest cache we've found. Saw the obvious hiding spot while walking up to the cache. The area didn't smell too bad today. TNLNSL.

Going Postal

By: WeBeDnD Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

4:18pm Took a few minutes of searching before spotting the nice camo. Jenn says the posts are part of a Survivor Immunity Challenge testing facility. TNLNSL.

Ceara's Cache!

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

4:48pm I've met Ceara a couple of times and what a cutie! She'll definitely like this spot but don't let her too close to the water! Logging for Coin Quest (yeah, I know it's been over for a while but I'd still like to finish). TNLNSL.

Fresh Water Marsh

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

5:02pm Easy find, as this was towards the end of our loop. Took DL token, left a promise to leave something in another cache since I didn't have my micro tokens with me, signed log.

Duck View

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

4:39pm Took about a minute to find. Not too many ducks nearby today. TNLNSL.

Salt Water Marsh

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

4:57pm Jenn stayed on top while I went to look for the cache. Found it after looking in a few spots. TNLNSL.

Shoreline Trailhead

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

5:44pm 3 hours, 6 miles later, this was our last find of the day. The sun was setting and our legs were tired so it was a good time to stop for the day. TNLNSL.

Sandpipers

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

3:10pm Didn't see any sandpipers in this spot but I think we saw some further down the trail. Took RG token, left sig keychain, signed log.

Diversity

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

2:56pm The first cache of our 3 hour, 6 mile loop hike around the Baylands. Waited for some muggles to pass and grabbed the cache. TNLNSL.

Runners

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

3:18pm Had to outwait some runners, joggers, bikers, dogwalkers, etc. to grab this one. TNLNSL.

Birders

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3:03pm Easy grab, had to wait for some muggles to pass before returning the cache. TNLNSL.

Pinheads

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

3:32pm We saw the hiding spot but had to wait for a few muggles to pass before grabbing the cache. The logbook was soaked so I couldn't sign with a pen or pencil so I tried to carve my name into the page. Took Timbertoo sig item, left Go Mad Cow button, carved log. Logging for Coin Quest (yeah, it's a little late to get a coin, but I'd like to finish).

And Again

By: WeBeDnD Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

4:09pm We looked in a couple of spots before I spotted what the hint referred to. Brings back memories of my youth. Ha, ha, ha! TNLNSL.

See Clearly

By: WeBeDnD Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

3:55pm We were looking for a few minutes in various spots when Jenn found a pretty obvious hiding spot and there was the cache. Nice container! TNLNSL.

Almost Natural

By: Rocket Girl and DuckeyLee Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I hope the DNF pin is still in the cache because we're the first to DNF this one. It was towards the end of our 3 hour, 6 mile, walk along the trail that we came to this cache. It was getting dark so we searched as long as we could before giving up and walking back to our car parked at the Shoreline Trailhead. Wished we had a few more minutes to search. We didn't search for the other 2 nearby caches so we'll be back one day.

The 528 foot hole

By: bullit Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

4:02pm We almost bypassed this one since there was a ranger picking up trash nearby. But he jumped in his truck and took off down the trail so we went over to the cache area and found it pretty quickly. Nice hole! TNLNSL.

Semi-Secret Trailhead: STASCT

By: stbk Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

5:05pm We got to the cache site and searched a few spots before a muggle came jogging down the trail. He decided to look at the trail info so we started walking back down the trail. A few seconds later, we went jogging past us so we turned around and resumed our search. We found the cache in nearly the exact spot we were thinking about hiding our It's Finally Open cache when the trail was reopened. TNLNSL.

My First "Multicache"

By: stbk Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

4:49pm We finally got over to look for this one since it was so close to home. Took about a minute to find as we knew where the probable hiding spot should be. TN, left Mister Burger Guy TB, signed log.

My First "Multicache"

By: stbk Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Congrats on finally getting this spot back. [;)] Too bad I'm stuck at work and can't go look for it.

Doubles Anyone?

By: The Watkins Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

4:07pm Lots of tennis players but their view was partially obstructed so it was an easy find. Took horse beer cap, left sig token, signed log.

Where's the Dam Cache?

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

4:11pm We searched in between muggles and Jenn found it in a couple of minutes of looking. We signed the log between muggles, then replaced the cache between muggles. Sure are a lot of muggles around here. TNLNSL.

Get Down to the Water

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

4:00pm Finally out to do some caching after a short break. It was a nice day and we needed some exercise, just not a deathmarch type of exercise. A stroll along the creek sounded good and we hit a few caches along the way. We looked for a few minutes before Jenn kicked the cache. Took TB, left Mad Cow button, signed log.

Cormorant Feeding Line

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

4:48pm We did a loop around the trail and after stopping for a while watching the dogs run around at the dog park, we stopped for this one. After a couple of minutes I searched a spot Jenn had previously searched and found the cache. Signed and replaced between muggles. TNLNSL.

Before Birthday Breakfast

By: Joani Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

Got there a little late but had enough time to grab a bite to eat and trade a few geocoins. Happy Birthday to everyone, no matter which month your birthday falls on.
