Ohlone Historic Site

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

We were just boppin' around the area in the air-conditioned car today. Thanks for the cache!

Brokers of Human Kindness

By: gorfner Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

We headed over after a Sunday brunch to take a nice family walk -- quite slowly, since I'm in a family way and all. Evidence of weddings from yesterday were being slowly dismantled, otherwise all was quiet under the shady trees. Geo Baby really enjoyed the fountains. Thanks.

Hospitality of the Heart

By: gorfner Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

We headed this way as stop #2 on our nunnery walk, and got to watch them take the big tent down. I was enjoying the wisteria -- which covered the trellis outside my childhood home -- when I spotted a place that WalruZ needed to examine. Thanks.

Last cache in the nunnery series for us, we decided to hit it on the way back to parking. Had our choice of spots this late Sunday morning. Thanks for the caches.

Santa Clara Levee - 2

By: nielsenc/hjnielsen/firetruckflyer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Was almost thwarted by a running Geo Baby that wouldn't stop for the caches here. Dropped a travelling coin/bug-thingy too. Thanks.

Ulistac Entrance

By: nielsenc/hjnielsen/firetruckflyer Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I had a good time caching with the family just before the event, even though my waddle is just a little slower these days than my patience allows! Thanks for the new ones.

Ulistac Explore

By: nielsenc/hjnielsen/firetruckflyer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Mmmmm, shady spot to stop after the blazing levee sun! Thanks for the cache.

Summer... I scream, You scream, We all scream II

By: nielsenc/hjnielsen/worlds worst cacher Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

We all had a great time -- Geo Baby with the triple-whammy of ice cream/jumpy house/playground, Walruz with plenty of ears to hear his caching stories, and I especially liked that the mint Its-Its came out at my arrival. Bonus!

Motherlode

By: Jesse and Lizzy Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Walked on over with all that extra energy that ice cream affords us and found this cache after the social. Thanks!

Yet another log from an ice cream hound visit to this cache. I enjoyed the logistics of my climb to get to the ice cream from here, given the bowling ball I'm carrying at front these days... Thanks for the cache!

Ash Street Park

By: Baron88 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

We've been here for a previous cache, and so knew that we'd spend a little time playing and watching the birthday parties. Then the ice cream cart came by and we were here for longer... Thanks!

Bushwacked on the Alameda Creek Trail

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

We circled around and WalruZ spotted it. Looks like someone's been chewing on the lid -- human or other land animal is unclear... Thanks for the cache!

Below the Buckeye.

By: Allannah and Grimlaf Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

We found an alternate staging area, one I could conceivably walk to the two new caches from and back, and headed here. I really enjoyed this stretch of trail, and watched Geo Baby practice her running back and forth while WalruZ made the grab. Thanks for the cache!
