Sunnyvale History - Iron Man
By: baocorienteer Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
3:37pm We had been to the location of stage 1 before, but never to the location of stage 2. Thanks for the history lesson, the extra credit lamp post was cool. TNLNSL.

Downtown Campbell Walking Tour
By: Nazgul Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro
4:53pm When this cache was first published I told Jenn I knew where the final would be. But we decided to do the entire tour since it was a nice day and we hadn't seen all of Campbell in our prior caching trips. We went from stage to stage, enjoying the old and new spots we passed and eventually got the correct coords. And yep, the cache was right where I thought it'd be. Thanks for the history lesson, looking forward to other towns being multi-cached! =)

Happy Labor Day!
By: Adamski Adventurers Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular
We were surprised to see my North Carolina geocoin in the cache. I grabbed it from the prior finder and am dropping it into this cache.
Happy Labor Day!
By: Adamski Adventurers Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular
7:09pm It was the Fourth of July today but since it was a holiday, we thought it was appropriate to find this cache. This was a fun cache and we made the stage finds easily. TNLNSL. P.S. No labor for me today but I still got paid!

Been Here: East Java
By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro
5:04pm We figured out the coords a couple of weeks ago and today I made the trek out to the cache. Easy find, took the digitalfish because I couldn't fit it back in. I dropped it into a nearby cache. TNLNSL.

You Can Turn That Page Now
By: eagleneb22 (with help from my2002cali) Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
4:41pm We knew exactly where to go as we visit this spot about two times a week. We found the previous cache here and also the previous puzzle cache located nearby. We got the coords fairly quickly, but then took a while to find the cache until we spread our search area. Saw the cache just peeking from its hiding spot. TNLNSL.

little treasure chest
By: retiredprof Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small
2:47pm We decided to try this one since it sounded like fun. Got to the first spot, searched for a few minutes, not finding anything. We were just about to give up as I decided to take one last look. I spotted something and it was the coords to the final spot. We walked over to the final spot and I made the grab. Cute container! TNLNSL.

CASA de TABLETA
By: Rain734 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular
3:29pm Grabbed this one before the event. Took a few minutes as my GPSr was taking me to an object in the hint, just not the correct one. I searched further away and found the cache. TN, left my traveling Bailey's Nippon Geocoin, signed log.

Portola Treasures
By: Sierra Hikers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small
7:01pm On the way up to do some caching at El Corte Madera, I spotted the sign. So on the way down I decided to stop again to take a photo and see if it was waymarked. I looked at my GPSr and hey, what do you know, a cache. So we got the needed info, took photos of the sign, then off to the second stage. There we found the cache, another possible waymark and a benchmark too. There was a bit of water in the cache but I turned it upside down while we were signing the log to get it all out. Still a bit damp though. TNLNSL.

Doggie Do (revived!)
By: Paul Hoff - > Team Dralasites - > crawburr ! Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular
4:52pm This was our cache destination today and we had a nice time in the Preserve today. We got to stage one, then started looking. Not finding anything, we looked some more. Finally, something clicked and we were able to get the coords to stage two. Stage two was an easy find as we took in the great view. TN, left my traveling Bigfoot Geocoin, signed log. Love these oldies!

Who Is This?
By: dw Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
3:52pm Finding parking here was harder than spotting the cache but we lucked out and got a spot quickly and spotted the plaque just as quick. Got the coords, then went inside for some lunch first. After sharing a chicken bake, churro, and some lemonade, it was off to the cache. No cars were looking for parking in that area so we found the cache and TNLNSL, then back to our car. I just did a search for whose name was on the plaque but didn't find anything. Maybe a former employee?

MAYA'S TIME
By: Rain734 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular
5:18pm We decided to try this one again today since we were in the area. We found the sculpture, figured out the coords and what do you know, it led us to the exact same spot as last time. After thinking about what we should do, we decided to quit for the day since it was getting darker and colder. I looked at the description one more time, saw the coords for the plaque, plugged them in, and saw that they were quite far from where we were searching. So we followed the path from the sculpture to the plaque, then kept walking in that direction. I saw something, thinking it might be part of the hint. We sat down nearby and looked at the coords. Hmm, only one digit off from the coords we had figured out. So we plugged in the coords we thought were correct and soon thereafter we found the cache. TNLNSL but we trashed out a non-kid friendly item.

Please, Please
By: spyder woman Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
2:21pm We found the first incarnation of this cache so we knew what to look for at each stage. But my projection skills via my GPSr still have to be worked on. So when we got to the second stage it took a while until Jenn finally spotted something and then the cache. TNLNSL.

MAYA'S TIME
By: Rain734 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular
We decided to walk around the Stanford campus and find some caches. Unfortunately, we went 0 for 3, this being the second one we looked for. We must've done our calculations wrong as we ended up in a spot where no cache could be hidden. We still enjoyed our walk.

Mainline weaving operations
By: trode Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
5:06pm We had done the initial number retrieving and calculations a while ago, maybe over a year ago. Finally got over to look for this one today. It took a few moments to finally spot the cache. I got a bit dirty but managed to brush myself off pretty good. =) TNLNSL.

Huerta Post
By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
7:16pm We almost missed finding the plaque but Jenn spotted and we obtained the coords. No one was in the park so we walked right up to the cache site, took a few moments to find it, then TNLNSL, then Jenn took a ride on the swings.

Meneeley Bell Two
By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
7:27pm We went back today and yep, there was the cache. I don't believe it was in that spot or the other spot when we last looked for it because I don't think we would've missed it. Anyway, TNLNSL.

Add another DNF. We got the final coords, did some searching, then drove back to the bell to double check our numbers. They were correct so we searched some more but still didn't find anything.
Kidnap
By: The Rat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular
4:27pm When this cache was first published, I did an Internet search to find out the story behind it. Very interesting story indeed, and with a happy ending also! We started on this multi yesterday and got the final coords but waited until today to make the grab. We made the grab in between muggles and quickly TNLNSL. Mahalo for the "history" lesson!

Stamp Exchange
By: E.caballus Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small
4:26pm Our first cache of the day and although it's a low difficulty cache, it still took us a while to find. Jenn finally spotted it from a different angle and I made the grab. Took the Pinky Duck TB, LNSL.
