The Bells of El Camino Real (locationless)

By: Parsa Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

After doing this locationless in Monterey county, I'm noticing ECR Bells everywhere as I drive around now! This bell is just on the Daly City side of the Colma-Daly City border. It was a little too dangerous to take a full-bell photo much closer than what I did, but I did get coordinates by stopping right next to it. This is on ECR in San Mateo county, and is sponsored by AAA.

The Bells of El Camino Real (locationless)

By: Parsa Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

This is one of two bells very near an historic mission in the City of Monterey, on Fremont Ave near Church St. This is a main offshoot of the old El Camino Real that was forged in order to allow people to get to the original state capitol in Monterey. There are quite a few of these in these parts... I'll try to edit with more photos of the Plaque, etc. later (camera ran out of batteries). There is a history of this mission (this was the original site established in 1770) at www.carmelmission.org/history.htm.

Duck and Cover

By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

My first attempt at a locationless -- some of these take some serious research! Luckily, I had a run in with this one prior to my geocaching days that left a lasting impression... This siren is in the Sunset area of San Francisco at 18th Ave and Judah. I moved to this neighborhood a little over a year ago. One afternoon, when I really should have been at work, I had the beejeeezus scared out of me when this went off! I remember thinking that it had to be in the backyard, or at least on the same block, so I went out looking for it -- it was 3 full blocks away! As a kid in Sunnyvale, I remember Duck and Cover very well, but thought it was all about Earthquakes. Silly me.
