Haunted Hospital

By: Team Kender Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

Nice day for this cache. Took star, left "friend of the otter" sticker, SL. BTW: Log is now full...

I've Got Your View Right Here

By: skinny_fat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Wahooooo! My first FTF -- took a little patience with the weekend traffic. T: Spam TB. L: Powerpuff girls toy and Compass, SL.

The Great Lobos

By: Matt Toxic Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Not chosen

Decided not to scramble down to old cache location, but enjoyed the view of the virtual!!

Left What in San Francisco?

By: bthomas Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

Walked around this big boy just to see if there was an installation plaque. I'm reasonably sure that this is it, although my GPSr had me thinking that someone left a muni tunnel in SF...

Jr. Splash Cache

By: mankeydog Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

[Nice hide and great cammo! Actually did this one midday on a weekend, so had to be really creative with my "cover" and very, very patient. Sat down at a good vantage point with my magazine and spotted it after about 10 minutes, then went to a nearby food establishment to pick up some ToGo to use as cover for grabbing the container and putting it back] (made good use of the garbage can nearby). [T: necklace, L: temporary tattoo, SL].

Great views, even if you stay within "legal" bounds. Thanks for the view!

BADGES January Geocaching Dinner

By: BADGES Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

Had a good time meeting some new people, even though had to leave rather early. Missed checking out the raffle prizes, oh well. Left Raisin' the Roof TB whose goal is to attend geocaching events, took Stealth Fighter TB to visit more airbases.

Steel Finch

By: Anvickfam Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

I was in the area for the BADGES geocaching dinner, so thought I'd try again. No security buzzing around today, or at least I wasn't visible this time around... Coordinates/my GPSr had me in an area where the cache had no hiding places, even though I supposedly had 13ft accuracy. Used my noggin' and found it anyway. Took plastic compass, left Iowa pig pen, SL. Thanks for the great drive-by!

Bum's Beach

By: tucsonsims Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

This was a great day for this cache -- it was overcast and no one was around to see me digging around like a kid! T: Powerpuff Girl top and a plastic spoon that fell out without me noticing it right away, L: Blu Oyster TB to sleep off his weekend of drinking.

Jack's Cache Revisited

By: Just a Short Walk Difficulty: 4.5 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular

Wow, this one was a workout! I tried what seemed to be the least dangerous approach, only to find that I was going to have to climb up WAY too close to private property (and potentially in line of fire of flying golf balls). Went back down with every intention of calling it a day, when I decided to try the other approach. This seemed a little more stealthy -- at least hidden from the numerous golfers out today -- and I managed to get to it. Took carabiner, left spoon and Birthplace TB (who should probably make its way back to Texas since its goal is over).

High Stokes

By: AltDotAir Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Great hide!! This has been one of my favorite places to eat for about 5 or 6 years ... I retrieved the cache and took it to my car to restock the log with paper. In the meantime a couple of kids decided to park themselves right near the cache site to hang out! Luckily I could outlast them, and was able to re-cache within the hour. Took 1US$, Left $1 McCarran Airport slot coin, SL.

$80 Million Later...

By: Equinox 2002 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Great cache -- with a little flashlight help I got it after dusk! T: PG & E magnet clip, L: Now Software Coffee Mug. Also grabbed Raisin the Roof TB.

Steel Finch

By: Anvickfam Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Hmmm, security was watching me like a hawk -- largely because they had nothing else to do on a Sunday morning. I'll have to come back some other time.

Cry Wolfe

By: Brute-Force Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Nice hide, and as it was Sunday morning I was able to get to and replace it without arousing any suspicion. Left canada pin and the RAM TB (his goal destination was Cupertino), took centrino keyring and the flower pencil sharpener (2 to make room in the cache, which is a little full with the TB).

Puppy Play Group

By: The Pointy Ear Dog Gang Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Plenty of good doggie-watching available today, although a little hazy for good sunset-viewing. Nice walk around the path and a great hide! Took RAM bug since I'll be going that way tomorrow, left golf ball for smaller pooches to play with, SL.

The Short and Winding Road

By: surfcal Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Great little area in SF, I usually see it from the freeway rather than this vantage point! This was my 2nd attempt at the cache, since I noticed SFJeep and co. poking around where I wanted to last Sunday. I had decided to leave them to it and head off to work, thinking that I'd come back after -- although that didn't happen. Took a Peet's coupon and left a temporary tattoo. I also picked up Blu Oyster TB to take him on a road trip tomorrow...

Shoots and Ladders

By: honu and biohzrd Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Neat little park with a great, documented history. Discovering places like this, close to home, was the reason I started geocaching! Did a little "cache in; trash out" in the area and fought off a spider to get to the log. Took matchbook, left bug clicker and released 8-Points TB on its journey.

Take-a-Peak

By: Surfcal Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Made this my first regular find, with some effort. Attempted last Sunday (4th), but there were too many people around and too many potential places to look... Read the clues and returned for a dusk-walk after work. It was still a challenge but I got it after a while. Took Birthplace TB, released Go-Go Speed Racer! Travel Bug, SL. It appears that the Where's the Picnic TB has stealthily left this cache in search of another picnic to raid ...

CalTrain - San Francisco

By: normanb Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Decided to run by after work and make this my first cache ever since I'm new to both geocaching and my GPS unit! Thanks for a nice intro...
