Alamo Square

By: irwinSports Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

1:45pm Wow, this was a busy cache today. We managed to find parking nearby and made our way to the cache, dodging dogs chasing balls and muggles taking photos of the Painted Ladies. The coords were spot on and led us directly to the cache. Jenn pretended to take some photos while I made the grab, signed the log, then replaced the cache. TNLNSL.

Virgin River Cache

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

12:13pm Quick find while on our way from Vegas to Zion. It was quite warm as we made our way to the cache but bearable. TN, left a traveling geocoin, signed log.

Big Oh!

By: Baad Daata Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

11:49am We're staying in Vegas for a few days and decided we wanted to visit Zion National Park. We also wanted to pick up a new state caching so this one was a quick exit off the freeway. We found the cache easily, although it must have rained recently because it was lying in some stagnant water, and when I opened the cache, everything was soaked. We signed a piece of paper as a new logsheet and tried to get out all of the moisture but this cache definitely needs some maintenance. TNLNSL.

PONG! Birthplace of an industry.

By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

4:02pm There weren't many muggles around on a holiday so it was an easy find. We managed to find some white space on the log to sign our names. Thanks for the video game history lesson! TNLNSL.

Toys for Lunch

By: Finnegans Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

4:19pm There were some muggles playing tennis and enjoying the shade but none near the cache. We remember searching for a tiki-shaped cache here a while back. Took a few glances to spot the cache. TN, left my traveling GOWT and Micro geocoins, signed log.

Evelyn's Cache

By: Rocket Girl Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3:51pm This one took a while until we finally searched where we should have started searching. I think the log is full but it might've been the other nano we found today. TNLNSL.

5:16pm After buying a couple of twist cones at Meadowlark, we made our way over to the cache site. It took us a couple of minutes to make the find. Jenn made a suggestion and I spotted the cache. Nicely hidden! TNLNSL.

Back Track

By: 2kayak Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

5:24pm We had to back track on this one as we drove too far and had to turn around near the Fairgrounds. The Scottish Festival was going on so we had to dodge a few muggles here and there. TNLNSL.

Foul Ball

Home Run

By: Cap'n Jack Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

4:11pm We had to outwait some muggles coming and a muggle going but we made the grab. No game going on today so it was quiet. TNLNSL.

It ?s a Graveyard Cache

By: Cap'n Jack Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

5:58pm It took a while to find this one as we first drove through the cemetery, then found the correct place to park at. Then we took a few minutes to look around and almost gave up, but I took one last look and spotted the nicely hidden cache! Our last cache of the day in Pleasanton. TNLNSL.

Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor

By: carolehu Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

8:54pm We had already passed our find record for a day but after attempting find #20 we got a DNF and we didn't want to end on a bad note. So we decided to look for one last cache on the way home. Used the hint to make the quick grab. On a side note, we ate breakfast at the nearby restaurant about a month ago and loved the food and it was affordable too! TNLNSL.

Shore Dogs Park

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

5:04pm I wasn't sure about finding this one as I had read the previous logs. But it looks like the cache has been replaced or at least placed in its correct spot as we spotted it walking up to the cache. A muggle had just pulled into the parking lot so we went to another cache first, then back to this one. Cool cache! TNLNSL.

Water Related # 1

By: Krakker Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

7:32pm This one took a while to find until I finally spotted something. Yep, the cache sure was sticky! TNLNSL.
