Elevated Awareness - Coyote Point on a budget

By: vaccine Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Micro

The first time I saw this cache, I laughed out loud. The second time, we got down to business, and it was fun all the way! [8D] A bit late for my meeting with KT, she was just about ready to put on her Wonder Woman outfit and snag the cache herself, but I convinced her my way was just as good. [;)] Thanks! I've been in a bit of a caching funk and this was just the ticket. mjp303

In The Grove

By: dr_dolittle_rwc Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

EPE was about 50', but I walked right up to it...I guess I've got an eye for un-natural looking stuff in places like this by now. [;)] I enjoyed the evening hike up this pleasant trail. TFTC. mjp303

Take a Coin, Leave a Coin

By: SPnZ and dogness Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Second find on a lunch run in Pacifica. No coins = No trades, but I'll be back for the nearby hiking cache. Thanks! mjp303

All Tied Up in the Tree House

By: enemysvacant Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Micro

My GPSr was really squirrely in this area. As I recall, it was just like the hunt for the other, long since archived cache that was hidden nearby. I'm pretty sure I was looking in the right place, but just didn't come up with the find.

Salted Pork

The Cure For Micro Viruses

By: ed777 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

The group searched for a bit on this cache...but, in the end, the cure was quite satisfying! Thanks! mjp303

Virus Bravo Three

By: ed777 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

Just a little too symmetrical to be natural...yup it's the cache hiding spot! TFTC. mjp303

Speed Bump Tree

By: ed777 Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Not chosen

I've never seen that type of film can while caching. LOL! [:D] Thanks! mjp303

Old Growth Redwood

By: geekster & ghoff3 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Yup, it's a great spot for a cache! [;)] I dropped a TB. Thanks. mjp303

The Mountain Men

By: geekster Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

What a beautiful spot for a hike. Thanks, geekster, for providing a good portion of today's entertainment! mjp303

Along the Gordon Mill Trail

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

Whew! That's a lot of uphill. Thanks for the resting spot. mjp303

Steam Donkey Junction

By: geekster Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

We started out in the fog, decended down one canyon, and then came back up another to end up in the mists once again. A great day hiking! Thanks. mjp303

Manzanita Trail Overlook

By: Shores Scout, geekster & Eagle81 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

I think my GPSr finally got a good steady lock around this cache. The fog and trees were making things tough. TFTC. mjp303

Ooohhh...back into San Mateo County!

All That Jazz

By: Chronic Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Out on a group hike in El Corte de Madera OSP, this cache was pretty close to our turn-around point. A fun oldie; great to see it so well preserved. TFTC! mjp303

San Bruno Free Way version 2

By: GoToStJoseph Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small

It was great to be back in this area of San Bruno Mountain park again. The trail was completely overgrown with waist-high grass in most places. I had to do several back-and-forths at the creek crossing to spot the trail because it was almost completely overgrown. Crouching over, I was able to slip through. Towards the end of the hike, I met up with a couple of fellow travellers and introduced them to geocaching. We found the cache together and signed the log. They continued on up the hill, but I had to go back to work. I left a benchmark pin. Thanks! mjp303

Secret Shoreline

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

I actually was expecting something a little different, but very nicely done! After finding the cache, I watched a group from the USGS getting ready to do some mapping (...actually I'm not really sure what they were doing!) 4-5 guys were loitering about the dock while one guy worked feverishly over a really big, fancy laptop in the back of what looked like the USS Minnow. The boat was labelled 'USGS survey vessel'. It was a funny sight. I wonder what kind of highpowered mapping software they had on that computer? You see the most interesting things while out caching. Thanks! mjp303

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I don't know if this is kind or not...[:I] From the freeway you'll have to pass through at least a dozen objects of interest to get to the present cache location.

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Got it, but I'm not going to place it until tonight...I've got to close a $200M financing deal for a new biotech company. [;)]

35 Years of Service

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

2TF @ 12:30p Thanks for the lunchtime excursion! I've been a chemist for 14 years; ten in Illinois and 4 in California. Fortunately most of that time never really seemed like work; it's great to get paid for playing around in the lab. [8D] I noticed from the sign that Mr. Sam Volante worked for 47 years. WOW! mjp303

Three Towers

By: digitalfish Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Thanks for a reprise visit to this trail! The air was clear and crisp, which made for a very enjoyable hike at dusk. mjp303

Let's Play!

By: dr.dolittle_w/_faith Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Back in the area towards dusk, I decided to try again. Still too well hidden for me!

In honor of Charlie Brown

By: DKAK Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I looked for this cache the first day it came out, I think. 7 months later, it was a different story. [8D] Even with a little help, it's still downright tricky. mjp303

Secret Shoreline

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

This morning, I noticed that something had washed up on my really clean beach, so I headed out to take care of it. Nothing doing, despite several lifelines. [:(] The view was great though, and I enjoyed watching the fog break up over the mountains.

Kings Mountain Road

By: NavySparksandtheMrs Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Also a travelling coin drop.

Kings Mountain Road

By: NavySparksandtheMrs Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Suddenly there was a little cluster of caches on King's Mtn Road, so I grabbed the boys and headed out. The GPSr was still pretty squirrelly after having lost its way during the ascent, but we noticed the hint in short order and soon after the cache was in our hands. We had fun pawing through all the great swag, and ended up trading toys for coins. [8D] Thanks! ...looking forward to another. [;)] mjp303

Teague Hill

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

What a nice little hike! Although the road was bustling with traffic (cars and bikes of both types), we only saw one other group of hikers at the trailhead, and had the route to ourselves. John and Ted enjoyed exploring ahead on the trail and searching for banana slugs. After reading the Teague Hill webpage, I learned a new word...'viewshed'. C'mon, that's made up, isn't it? We traded toys for coins, and took the TB. TFTC! mjp303

The Lost Village of Summit Springs

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

Second attempt. After parking, we noticed that there was a couple taking a nap about 20' from where we searched last week. Drat! Fortunately though, now there's 'Teague Hill' nearby. Off we go. On the way back, what's this? Still asleep. So we play in the stream. NOISILY. After 5 minutes, they get the clue. This time the search yields sucess. [8D] I'd swear somebody uncovered it a bit since last time. Lots of trading. Thanks! mjp303

cache on board

By: cooperphoto Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Sigh...Here I am at another one of your caches. I can stop at any time. Really. Thirty seconds one way or another and one of Burlingame's finest would have pulled up while I was in the act. [;)]

Northern CA Solar System Model: Asteroid Chiron

By: shadow101 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I stubbed my toe before finding it. Ouch! One fellow waiting for the light was quite interested in what I was doing, so I saluted...and he saluted right back! TFTC. mjp303

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Hey Lefty, it appears Kablooey is on your side after all. [V]...He just didn't return the cache down South. [;)]

Woodside Park 'n' Ride

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

7pm Lots of cars; absolutely no people. Good thing, too, cuz I searched for about 5 minutes before finding it. Nicely tucked away! TFTC. mjp303

Sunset Lane

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

[8D]Wow! What a satisfying cache find![8D] Winding around on the nearby streets for what seemed like forever, I finally stumbled on what was obviously the trailhead. Quickly the trail led into a beautiful hillside path that climbed past the cache and finally looped back. I hardly noticed. The Buckeye trees in bloom and a warm breeze buoyed my spirits. The air was clear and the views spectactular. Exactly what caching is all about for me! Thanks so much. One odd little note: I noticed a series of 3 mail boxes along a dirt road and behind a locked gate with no houses in sight. [?] Again, what a great cache. mjp303

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Ten miles northwest puts it in what? Palo Alto? That's hardly the peninsula. [;)] Since it's been nearly 3 hours, maybe Motor Bug is venturing further north???

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

9pm. Got it. That VC and white wine quip is gonna cost you a couple of extra bucks in gas Lefty. [;)] Are you ready K.T.? TFTC. mjp303

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

By: Team Capsaicin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

10:05p Back in action. Since there are lots of nice hiding spots up this way, I'm sure it'll stay close for awhile. [:D]
