Just "monkeying" around

By: Marshmallow Roester (adopted by TeamNulti2003 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Small

I spotted it last weekend but didn't want to attempt the climb, the tree was a little to wet for my liking. It was sunny today so I was able to grab the cache, thanks for the challenge.

TNLN, I Don't Think So #4

By: Jimswim Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Found this cache with Wacka, took a Canadian penny and left one Chinese Yuan. Thanks for the cache.

Are we there yet?

By: kusanagi Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

Found it easily enough, the coordinates were very accurate, my GPS read 1 foot when I set it down to sign the logsheet. Thanks.

The log Cabin

Yes, good job carrying this one in, it was nice to see a couple of ammo cans upon making such a long hike. Thanks for the cache.

Going Bannanas

By: Ashley Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

The smell of the cache site made me hungry for lunch, but all I brought was an apple. Thanks for the cache!

Mary Pose I A

By: Ashley Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I was so focused on my GPS, I almost stepped into the creek. Found it shortly afterward. Thanks!

Trail End 32

By: dandm Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

I always wanted to make it out this way, thanks for giving me an excuse. Made it here in less than 3 hours from the Augustin Bernal parking lot, and the one-way mileage was 5.6 miles. I did manage to find about half a dozen caches on the way too. Thanks for the adventure. Took the T/B and left a toy slinky.

Black Acorn

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I tried to find this one last weekend, but accidentally deleted the coordinates from my GPS. Had no such trouble today and found it easily. Thanks for the cache.

Kilkare Canyon Overlook

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

Curse yee, Walruz: I was hiking back from "Trail End 32", I didn't have time for any more caching, Mrs. Maverix would be wondering where I was, and there was some yardwork I needed to do. I was walking back to on the Sinbad Creek Trail, but the arrow of my GPS kept pointing, kept beckoning, and I finally gave in to temptation and hoofed it straight up the hill from the creek. Needless to say I found the cache quickly and got a cardio workout too. I took a more conventional way back to the creek trail (my knees can't handle going staight down those hills). Thanks for the cache.

Walruz' Pit Stop

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

It had been a long hike, I was running out of gas, needed a pit stop. Thanks for the cache. Took nothing and left a T/B.

Turtle Pond

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

I found the coordinates to be within 15 feet so I didn't bother taking new ones. The cache container really blends in there, I walked right by it without seeing it. I doubled back and eventually found it. Thanks for the cache.

Upper Moller

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

FTF! I met Wacka after the cardio section, and I assumed he had already found it since he was returning, but as previously explained, the going had gotten very steep. He gave it a second shot and we found it together. My advice for finding the cache, it's better to go 'round than through, but I think most will go through.

Another Raffle Cache

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Nice ammo can, it even has a geocaching stencil on the side. The trail had dried out a little, and I still picked up mud on my boots, but not too much. Right downstream of where the trail crosses the creekbed, I saw a rock which I imagined to be an Ohlone grinding stone, used to crush acorns. Thanks for the adventure. Dropped off the Skater Boy T/B.

LeChuck's Hermits Treasure

By: LeChuck Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

This was my second cache of the day. Thought I would be able to find it right away, but no, I had to read the whole story right at the cache site using my Sony Clie, because I couldn't find it right away. I searched all over, and then talked to some mushroom hunters, who new what geocaching was (it's that orienteering thing). The funny thing is that it had been raining the day before and I had found some mushrooms, but my hobby is geocaching, not food gathering, so I kept looking. The hint kept me from straying too far. Finally found it (nicely hidden). On the way back to the car I watched Lokirime find it too. Thanks for the cache.

Fishin' with Monkeys (It's a 2-fer!!)

By: Marshmallow Roester Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

I sure am glad Lokirime happened to stop by and help me hoist up the cache. Thanks!

WalruZ @1K

By: TeamAlamo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Congrats on blowing right past 1K, WalruZ. Nicely hidden, was able to find it without much trouble, plus I had Lokirime to guide me along, who I had met at the Fishin' cache earlier.

Natural Cloning

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

The color of it blends in nicely. Thanks for the cache.

LeChuck's Sinbad Treasure

By: LeChuck Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Arr, Lokirime found the cache whilst I kept a lookout for the hermit, I did.

Park Anywhere-Augustin Bernal

By: kusanagi Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

First find o' the day. Thanks for the cache.
