Undercrossing at the Crossroads

By: Wood_Rat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

Jalopying around Milpitas, but what else could be here but one of those little buggers! We were starting to get some whining in the backseat here, so I wasn't sure how much longer we could sustain our outing.

Mindless Activity

By: Walruzski Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Logging the cache must've slipped my mind...

Two Blue Herons

By: Wood_Rat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Geo Baby got to play with her new sand bucket and shovel in the nice wet playground sand, and we got a unicycle demonstration from another park patron . I thought it was a bit cold, but she was determined to have some playground time since we were out caching (and that's usually the bargain we strike with her). So, then, off to find the cache, which we probably should have left for another time given WalruZ' current limitations. Thanks for the cache.

The Windmill

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

Wow -- what an area and what a drive to get there! The people at the church service were quite puzzled as to why we were rambling by in the minivan, I think. Strange stare on the usher handling the parking lot and on a guy walking from the service when we were coming back around the corner.

Hidden House

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

I had been here before using the wrong approach, maybe two or three weeks ago, but with the limits of young children's patience to go driving all around to get to the right approach I just bailed. Today I knew to drive a different way than the GPSr would prefer, and we were able to make the find. Thanks!

Once Was a House

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

We tagged out a few times and had to go through all the past find logs available in the Colorado before WalruZ came up with this one. Like Hidden House, this cache was another one I had bailed on because I couldn't find close enough parking with the sleeping infant along when I was here a couple weeks ago. So glad to have WalruZ' help with the kids in tow during urban caching outings! Of course for those park hides, the kids in the back are a different story altogether...

Watching the World Go By

By: Wood_Rat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Talk about a secret trailhead! I've driven by here a fair amount and never even noticed the bench or trail marker! Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for coming!

Where kids can fly

By: TeamTwinkie Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Not sure I would agree with you about the flying part, since iFly qualifies more precisely than Pump It Up, but that's just a question of semantics I guess. Geo Baby and I grabbed this one while waiting for a nearby birthday party to begin. Added a ziploc to protect the replacement log. Thanks for the cache.

g.S.F.R?T. Moving Cache

By: 26 Fe via SirGerald, adopted by BuckyD Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Just in case anyone was wondering, the owner is actively maintaining this cache. I don't update the posted coords because that isn't how the cache was originally set up (read description). If were at the posted coords, it wouldn't really be a mystery/puzzle cache.

FINAL ACTIVITIES 2009

By: SPHERICAL FULLERENES Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Large

Disabling to prevent the event from sullying people's queries. Please log out travelers (that aren't owned by you) ASAP, thanks.

Native School

By: BanClan Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Nobody around on a Sunday afternoon. Been watching the construction for a year or so; it is nice to see it ready to be inhabited by higher minds...

Be My Balentine?

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

lil'brother and I needed a pitstop as well, and I happen to like the Turkey and Avo special here. Took a while to search without drawing attention to myself, even though I had incredibly good parking. Thanks.

Do you feel Lucky?

By: Geoff and Adel Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Signed after Mary & Dave on the new log. Thanks for the cache.

The Lowe Down

By: Spinneyman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Area could probably handle a larger container; I can't imagine that they expect to use up all these parking spaces under any circumstance... Thanks for the cache.

Snell Station

By: Created by Stacy & Jerry; Adopted by cachbefo Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

In the area running an errand, pretty deserted area on a Sunday. Thanks for the cache.

SF Playgrounds - Children's Playground

By: abngreg (adopted by BuckyD) Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I'll check on this one next week when I return to work.

Team Checkers' First 10K

By: way2wild Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

We like this park, thanks for picking it to celebrate the other obsessed family with minicachers...

Secret Southern Trailhead

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

Logsheet was still there this morning. Walruz provided a replacement container that is not like what was there before and I situated it best I could at the site.

Duck Rest

By: BanClan Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

I thought lil'brother and I should get out here and find this one while it's still fresh. Walruz had a problem child around here some years ago, but it is sure a great place to visit!

Alta Park

By: BanClan Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Another cache I thought to do fresh... This was the former site of GCJ0HW, but they've definitely added more No Trespassing signs since then. As the song goes: "Signs, signs; everywhere signs." I feel fortunate that I'm a fairly unassuming woman of forgettable race with small child in tow, since it makes these caches more doable. Thanks for the smiley.

One Last Cache

By: jellis Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

We all came up and took LeChuck out for a late lunch at my favorite burger chain. Those teenagers are pretty spry, so he helped me out here...

Mindless Activity

By: Walruzski Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Anyone? Anyone? Although I got no help from the CO, it would be bad form for me to FTF this...

Park & Cache #15: Mission SJ Park

By: dalemac57 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Found this one in the waning light. I was surprised to see this area marked as a PnR, I thought it was just parking for the ballfields.

Nearly Postal #1

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

First find of the new year for our family! We were hanging out at SuperFranks today, and my reward for 4 hours of toddler fun there was a few caches on the way home. Thanks for the cache.

A "Prudent" Find

By: Location Placed by Navigator Nathan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

We were hanging out at SuperFranks today, and mom and dad's reward for 4 hours of toddler fun was to grab a few caches on the way home. I didn't see any geocoins in the cache, although I didn't get a chance to look all the way to the bottom since Geo Baby was hogging it for her trades. I dropped the Bad Karma coin to move it along. Thanks for the cache.

WANTED: DEAD or ALIVE

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

Bwah hah hah hah -- I heard about that story. We weren't here long enough for anyone to call the cops on us, although we typically have a baby crying in the back seat that we would attend to in order to allay any suspicions from passers-by. Nevertheless, they've got lots of hoiier-than-thou signs up around here -- I'd not join the club on principle just for that silliness...
