Cull Tech

By: fizzymagic Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Took an easy trail to the cache but the last 100 feet was a bit of a scramble. Good thing I wore my hiking boots. When I arrived at the hiding spot it took a bit of searching to find the cache.

Ransom Note

By: kablooey Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Driving up the cache site I noticed a beautiful rainbow right in San Jose. It started raining as I pulled off the freeway, and by the time I got to the cache site it was raining hard. Put on my hat and jacket and found the micro in less than 2 minutes (had to). As I drove back to the freeway the rain stopped and there was a great view of the south bay. Thanks Kablooey!

Double Agent

By: Lamneth Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

I tried to find this cache back in November but couldn't solve the puzzle. I've found about 20 caches since then. Using that experience, combined with an email hint from Lamneth (who pointed out an error in my calculations), I was able to find the cache and it all fell into place neatly in the end. Thanks for the cache, its a one of a kind.

Superior Court Quiz

By: The Rat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Passed the quiz! Thanks for the informative puzzle cache. Went there at lunch during a sunny break between rain storms, so there were quite a few people outside. Nobody seemed to pay attention to me, I guess they had more important matters on their minds.

I have to admit that I was not spelling at least one of these words correctly! Thanks.

FBI Quiz

During a covert search mission a miniature geocache replica was seized by the authorities... it can be positively identified by its unique serial number.

I See the Light

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

Stopped by on my way to Home Depot. Found it from below, took some marbles and left a yo-yo that lights up. OK now I get the Darwin fish reference! Didn't disturb the area much because the ground was dry but as usual it might get muddy after a rainstorm.

Ashley Cache

By: Kusanagi and Ashley Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

Coordinates were right on! Came here two days ago but ran out of light. Couldn't get over (under?) it so came back again today and found the cache. Exchanged keychains. Thanks Ashley, we had no idea that there was a green-belt at this park.
