Songs from the Edge

By: TeamMachak and ClarkFamily Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

STF Thanks for bringing me to this spot! The setting sun was peeking through the clouds here and there making splashes of bright color across the hills. The serenity of the spot was just the ticket after a stressful day at work. MJP303

Serpentine Loop

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

2nd try...I walked right up to the hiding spot and found it. I swear I searched that place on my first visit. Oh well, now it's done; on to "Songs from the Edge". MJP303

Park Place

I crossed the creek and found the cache. Thanks, MJP303

Community Garden

By: Sierra Hikers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Cool park! Thanks for pointing it out. It's dark now, but I'll bring the kiddies back soon. MJP303

Eichler View

By: Sierra Hikers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I found the first waypoint about a week ago, but couldn't grab the final cache due to muggle traffic. Tonight there was a brief break, and I made my move. MJP303

Hill Sign

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

From the parking lot to the summit was an elevation gain of ca 150 ft in ca 0.15 miles. Is that a grade of 25%?!? I'm not sure, but my lungs were definitely burning. I didn't linger at the cache site as long as I wanted to; Once I saw the rain come over the hills to the south, it was definitely time to leave. I nearly lost the cache lid in the wind; it must have been blowing at least 50 mph.

The views were great! Thanks for the cache!

Kathy's Cause

By: TBD & D Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

Nice little multi...with the rain, I had the park to myself. The trees blocked most of the wind. Thanks, MJP303

Top Bead

By: TBD & D Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Found it, and nearly lost my baseball cap in the wind. MJP303

Devil's Slide

By: aubilenon - Adopted by SPnZ Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

I spotted this cache from a safe spot, but it took me several minutes to reach it. Not that the cache site is dangerous, mind you, it's just that the wind was really blowing, and I was being pretty cautious. Once I reached the cache, I really appreciated the view. Thanks! MJP303

Coastside Trail Cache

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

Due to wind and rain today, I took a direct route to the cache. What a beautiful trail, though. Cache seems a bit exposed, so I tried to cover it with sticks and leaves. Thanks, MJP303

Ranked #9

By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

After searching left and right, over and under, and high and low, I found it. Thanks, MJP303

Tidal Cliff

By: Leeloo & Nasir & Robot Family Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I found it. The cache needs a new log sheet. MJP303

Hit the Target

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

Geocaching has pretty much been a solitary sport for me up to now. Besides the one I found with DavidT (simply because we both happened to arrive at the same time), and the occasional time my kids tag along (they're too young to help much), this is the first cache I'm logging purely because of someone else [:I].

Thanks Brad.32 [:D]. I think we're both glad to have a frustrating puzzle cache disappear from our closest list.

Hopefully "MicroTerrestrial" will be activated again soon. Yeah right.

A Subtle Dig

By: DrHugAlot Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

tgmiller says 21-20 Stanford. Nice camoflage. Lots of people about, but for baseball, lacrosse, and ultimate frisbee. MJP303

Whole Lot of Shakin'

By: TeamMoehrke Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

We found this cache before the New Year's parade. After enjoying the pools and waterfall, we grabbed a bite to eat. Thanks, MJP303

Benny

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

We knew about the sculptures, but not about the park. On the approach, I was sure the coordinates were pointing us into someone's backyard. Fortunately not! The kids played, and we'll be back. Thanks, MJP303
