Where the Wild Things Are (Locationless)

We saw this Nene or Hawaiian Goose while caching on the way to Haleakala. The Nene is Hawaii's State Bird and is endangered, about 800 left in the wild. It is similar to the Canadian Goose, but smaller.

Blarney Stone

By: Jeo & Workerofwood Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

While visiting Las Vegas this past weekend we decided to gamble at Fitzgerald's. I remember reading about this LC that there were only two Blarney Stones in the USA, one in Reno and one in Vegas, but that the Vegas one wasn't there anymore. Imagine my surprise when I was signing up for the players card and there next to the wall was the Blarney Stone. I didn't have my GPS that day but went back a couple of days later to take a pic. The coordinates are the closest I could get to the entrance of Fitzgerald's.

Somewhere In Time

By: reg3 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

5:07pm We were at the Fourth Marine Division Memorial Park in Makawao, Maui, Hawaii for another cache and Jenn told me to watch where I was stepping. She thought that I was stepping on a grave since she saw the word buried on the plaque. Instead it was the 50 year time capsule of the 4th Marine Division of WWII to be opened on May 31, 2047.

International Space Station

By: Klunz Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Virtual

6:56pm I had this one on my watchlist for a while but the weather's been pretty bad here in San Jose, CA. But all day the skies were clear so I knew tonight would be a good night to spot the space station. I used my compass to point me in the right direction and I waited for the space station to appear. And there it was, going across the sky. It was pretty cool. I took a bunch of pictures but only a couple came out decent.

Cache on the Barrelhead

By: brainwash Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

#3 Mispelled Sign - I've driven past this sign in Mountain View, California a few times but never had my camera. Today I decided to fill up and log a cache at the same time. It's funny that it's misspelled because the correct spelling is found on the same structure. It seems to just be a careless mistake when getting the sign made.
