southern taiwan science park

By: shinn Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Another visit to Taiwan from the United States for me, and voila! a cache only 1.5 miles from where I'm working. [8D] Amazing! So we came over to visit the park and find the cache tonight. The breeze made it pleasant, although I was drenched with sweat by the time we made it back to the car. I found the well hidden cache, and traded three travelling geocoins for one travel bug tag. (If you remember my last visit, I took a TB, but didn't have one to leave in trade...hopefully this visit will make up for that one!) Thanks for the adventure. mjp303

Jul 22, 2006

Been Here: Patrick Henry

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Nicely done! The best hide of my little run through these Santa Clara office parks. TFTC. mjp303

Been Here: Elko and Reamwood

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Thanks for sharing your trip down memory lane! I found the cache in great shape, and I'm not sure why it has the 'needs maintainance' attribute. Traded pins. TFTC! mjp303

Element #60

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

I was hoping for a magnet or two, but I suppose that I'm a bit too late to realistically expect that since even the little ones aren't cheap. From one geek to another, thanks for the brief tutorial on magnetism! mjp303

Baylands Backdoor

By: workerofwood Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

This cache was part of an early morning run after dropping vaccine off at the airport for his WA APE cache trip. Lucky dog! I'll just go melt someplace now. Oh, TFTC! mjp303

Bus Bench Bugaloo #2

By: southbayday Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Yup, I found the cache on the ground too. Somehow it has gotten wet inside as well, although the log book is still signable. I tried to put it back as inconspicously as possible. TFTC. mjp303

West Pole

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

I was early, but not earlier than the crew that was resurfacing the parking lot. All I could think while signing the log was how thankful I wasn't doing that job. Hot, Hot, Hot! mjp303

Bus Bench Bogaloo #1

By: southbayday Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

An early morning cache hunt, but I can feel the heat building already. I dropped a TB. TFTC. mjp303

Dizzy

By: WeBeDnD Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

An early morning find, but I can feel the heat coming. My GPSr was the dizzy one on this cache. It told me to start searching about 50' from the actual zero, and I had to search a lot of places before found the cache. Thanks! mjp303

Jul 21, 2006

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

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

Dropping. Thanks for the fun! mjp303

Jul 20, 2006

The Stop and Go,Go,Go Cache

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

5:30pm Stop looking. I've got it...again. mjp303

Jul 19, 2006

The bus stops here?!

By: vaccine Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

2TF @ 5:30p. Well, I didn't intend this to be #1500, but having DNF'd 'Kiss of the Oceans' up in SF at lunch-time, that's the way it turned out. Travelling this route twice a day for the last 4+ years, of course I'd seen the bus stops, but never given them a second thought. Quite mysterious. I felt a bit exposed, but no one gave me a second glance, and the milestone was mine. TFTC! mjp303

Horace Hawes Fan Club

By: Badwaterboy Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Got it. If it's in San Mateo County (or close!), then I'm gonna get it. [;)] TFTC. mjp303

Kiss Of The Oceans

By: image415 and joescales Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I'm pretty sure I was in the right place, and spent a long time scouring the object of interest, but couldn't find the cache. I did find quite a few really nice nooks and crannies. Thanks for a fun multicache, the chance to spend some time in a unique park, and the tour of a really nice neighborhood. SMILIE mjp303

Jul 18, 2006

Little Green Bridge

By: geekster Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

[8D]FTF!![8D]@7:55a I have no idea what's going on here, but I really enjoyed taking the scenic route to work today. Thanks for the diversion! TNLNSL. mjp303

Arastradero Oaks

By: Changes in Latitudes Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Cool and quiet! That's the way I like 'em. TFTC. mjp303

Electro Matic Control Freak

By: Changes in Latitudes Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

vaccine and I were stumped, but a little begging on the phone saved the day. We knew it was there...somewhere...and honestly couldn't quite believe our eyes when the hide revealed itself. What was it Booger said in Animal House? 'MASTER!!' Amen, brother. I stand in awe...master! mjp303

Arastradero Trail Turnaround

By: Changes in Latitudes Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

A quick find after dark. Even at that hour we had to wait out a couple of cyclists who stopped for a drink. TFTC. mjp303

Pioneers R.I.P.?

By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I stopped by to get cash so that I could buy some coins at the event tonight. What's this...Only 300' from a cache? You can't pass that up! Thanks! mjp303

Jul 16, 2006

Keep it Moving

By: nmartin Difficulty: 5.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

The cache has been updated with incorrect coordinates. The correct coordinates are: N 37 ° 47.214 W 121° 18.392

Jul 15, 2006

Roads' End

By: WeBeFour Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

I think we did 5 of these end of the road caches today. All slightly different, but every time we had to back-track the way we came. Go figure. [;)] mjp303

Woodfield Park

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

This park appears to be a bowl. Does it fill up with water after it rains a lot? Like vaccine said, I was really careful to put the cache back where it belonged...I think I flipped it over my shoulder as we left. (...just kidding...[;)]) TFTC. mjp303

Stonebridge

By: cgirl Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I found it. Spider webs don't bother me. mjp303

Old Cache Renewed

By: Bob's 74 CJ 5 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Thanks for the smilie. mjp303

Delta College Farm Lab.

By: jerryw38 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

It seems everyone's got an internship this summer. [;)] TFTC. mjp303

End of the Road #58-Brunswick Road

By: jerryw38 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I felt bad for that horse, tethered to the fence in the blazing sun. I think somebody was hoping he'd eat some of those nasty weeds in the ditch. What the h-e-double toothpicks was winini doing out here at 3:24am for an FTF??? TFTC. mjp303

End of the Road #61-Old French Camp Road

By: jerryw38 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

#61 huh? Does that mean there are at least 60 more? Thank goodness our auto-routing software knew about this one. TFTC. mjp303

Park View Cemetery

By: jerryw38 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

There were a couple of possibilities, and I chose wrong. A solumn place. TFTC. mjp303

End of the Road #60-Junction Drive

By: jerryw38 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

The heat was really starting to get to us on this one. I wandered around in the hot sun for about 5 minutes too long. Finally geekster put us out of our misery. mjp303

Tracy Triangle #7

By: Book Bug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Geekster explained to me about the business at this cache. It might be nice to pay your fuel bill once a month...on second thought, that might be quite a shock. [:O] mjp303

Tracy Triangle #6

By: Book Bug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

3 parking spots with NO PARKING signs in the middle of nowhere. Fish me a cache! Thanks! mjp303

Tracy Triangle #5

By: Book Bug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I think we picked a good day to look for this cache! There were only about 6 vacant cars in the lot, and a couple of them were abandoned. TFTC. mjp303

Tracy Triangle #4

By: Book Bug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Thanks for the smilie! mjp303

Tracy Triangle #3

By: Book Bug Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

HOT today. I nearly burned myself trying to sign the log on a sun-soaked guard-rail. TFTC. mjp303

A Cache For JerryW

By: microtaz Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

At this cache I'm afraid I was more interested in figuring out what kind of trees were all around. Walnuts right? TFTC. mjp303

Lite UP!

By: pgocon Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Our three sets of trained eyes knew that the area of interest was a little 'stuffed' in short order. Thanks for the smilie. mjp303

Movin' Dirt 2....Caterpiller Inc.

By: Team Tiny Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Having lived in IL for a good portion of my life, I always thought that Peoria was where it all started. Thanks for filling me in on some more of the history. mjp303

Wishin' I Was Fishin'

By: Green Achers Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

After scaring off the guppies, we make a quick find. Nicely done! TFTC. mjp303

Paris Piglet of Liberty

By: THEBRATZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Pretty swampy at the cache site today. I think the sprinklers were on a bit too long. With all the little bits and pieces in this cache, we took quite a while putting it back together. TFTC. mjp303

Vines N Roses

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

Since it was the first one of the day, and nothing was open yet, we attacked the area like nobody's business. Our persistence paid off! mjp303

Signs and Wonders

By: fizzymagic Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Since it appears that this road travels off to nowhere, I'm not sure I understand the significance of the sign. However, given that this is California, I figure somebody must use it to get from here to there. Thanks for the chance to stretch our legs! mjp303

Springtime Park

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

I cleaned the earwigs out of the cache, and took that little robot/alien figure for my trouble. I liked the way you attached the cache! mjp303

"Fast Food III"

By: TeamTek Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I think vaccine was a little perturbed they didn't carry his favorite brand of smokes at the business adjacent to the cache. This ain't the bay area, buddy. Thanks. mjp303

Stumpy 2

By: Ron Streeter Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I've never seen a cannon quite like that one! TFTC. mjp303

Shalom!

By: Ron Streeter Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Interesting place. Right or wrong, I associate Jewish life with big cities, and so it was quite suprising to find this place out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for lifting my horizons! mjp303

The Down Under

By: Fallen and Death_On_Wings Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Micro

I think I might have been the only one in the group with a reach long enough to make the grab. When it was all over, I ended up with grease and spider-webs on my hands, but it was well worth it! A great hide! Thanks! mjp303

The bridge

By: Red95231 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

Yeah, like vaccine says, the GPSr was kinda squirrelly here. Eventually it settled down and I scooted out there to make the find. TFTC. mjp303

Steeeeerike Three!

By: Fallen and Death_On_Wings Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Not wanting to walk too far, it seemed like we spent more time driving around the area than hunting the cache. Eventually we got it. mjp303

MANNNN-Teca

By: Ron Streeter Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Yes, the desire to avoid walking further than necessary caused us to drive around quite a bit. Finally we just sucked it up and got the job done. TFTC. mjp303

Keep it Moving

By: nmartin Difficulty: 5.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

[After finding a great hide nearby, I thought this would be an appropriate place to drop a travelling cache. There are plenty of routes headed north here, by both road, rail and water. Keep this cache headed on its way back to Oregon!] If you have trouble finding the container, sit down and ponder the situation. [;)]

Car vs. Train

By: KURTULEAS Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Geekster and I decided that the coordinates had to be off and started checking out the area of interest. Vaccine decided to look at the old logs on his PDA before venturing over. After convincing himself we were right, he pretty much walked right up to it and made the find. I think the heat is affecting my brain! mjp303

Don't Panic

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

What a hoot! Thanks for pointing it out. mjp303

Jul 14, 2006

burn burn or (work out)

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

The cache gaurdian had knocked off for the day, but there were still plenty of sweaty people to pay attention. [;)] Finding it took a while since my coordinates zeroed about 50' east of the cache. Thanks for the hide! mjp303

"bring your books"

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Great view! Thanks for pointing out this spot. mjp303

Keep it Moving

By: nmartin Difficulty: 5.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

I picked up the cache this morning. [8D] I'll place it in a few days. Thanks! mjp303

Jul 11, 2006

The D.P.C.

By: Bob Cat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Night-time under a full moon is a really nice time to visit this cache. The light sparkling across the water gave a pleasing light to the search. Plenty of vehicles around, though, and I'm not sure why. Thanks! mjp303

in R.P.

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Thanks for the smilie! mjp303

"Paper or Plastic ?"

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Lotsa people around, including a guy at the bus stop, but I just went for it. I'm a plastic guy myself. Thanks! mjp303

"Lick it"

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I decided smell (instead of taste) was a better way to find this cache. SMILIE Thanks! mjp303

"open 24hrs" or "Smell the Coffee"

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I found it at about 10pm. Still plenty of people about, but darkness provided cover. TFTC. mjp303

"belly up"

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

Poor coordinates and darkness conspired against me. Even though nobody was around, you can only pretend to look for something you lost for so long before it starts to get awkward. A more helpful hint would be nice, too. mjp303

My 1st Puzzle Cache

By: brown-eyed susan Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3TF @ 8:30a I liked it! A little figuring, a little walking, and a nice view to top it off. TFTC. mjp303

Patricia Wharton Park #2

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

Sneaky! Fortunately, I remembered lessons learned from a cache just like it down in RWC, so my search was not prolonged. TFTC! mjp303

Labour of Love

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

This was a very interesting park. I found a calico cat sunning itself and shortly thereafter found the cache. Thanks for a fantastic noon-time diversion. I took the EU coin and left a Barry Bonds bracelet. mjp303

Jul 7, 2006

Built Here: The White House

By: Adamski Adventurers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I found it with gitonyerhorse, while geekster watched from the safety of the curb. I was busy looking in the typical spot when she came up with the cache in the only other possible place. Nicely done! Passing drivers barely noticed us, but we were certainly watching them. mjp303

Coffee Anyone #3

By: Rocket Girl Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen

I'm with geekster on the beverage choice, but gitonyerhorse chose the in-theme drink. Squirrelly arrow on this one, but we persisted. TFTC. mjp303

A Sign Only Micro

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

The pressure was on since the cache owner was watching. Fortunately I knew what to do right away. I love a cache with a joke! Thanks. mjp303

Sunnyvale Rough Too

By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I got the first one, but it took me a couple of minutes to figure out I'd get to log this one as well. Nice home-made camouflage! mjp303

Coffee Anyone #2

By: Rocket Girl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

As we stopped by for this cache, a lady holding a cigarette and some sort of frothy coffee drink drove by in a broken down car. She commented out the window that she really needed to get the darn car fixed. I wondered about her priorities. [;)] TFTC! mjp303

Tully Fields Forever

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Out with gitonyerhorse and geekster for a cache run. This one happened to be on our way to the top of Mt. Hamilton. Thanks for the pit stop! mjp303

SiRF-Cache

By: Peter@SiRF Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Thanks for the cool gift! For an encore, perhaps you guys could convince Garmin to lower their prices on those 'X' series receivers...that would be a gift, indeed! [;)] ...sigh...that's what I thought. mjp303

Just Half a Trail

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

Thanks for the encouragement during the lifeline call! Eventually we found it, but got all sweaty and covered with dust and dead leaves on a sultry afternoon. BTW, there's an in theme car close by...it has half a windshield and half a set of tires remaining. [;)] mjp303

SC Fire - Agnew Station

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

geekster seemed to think this cache was across the street, which confused the heck out of gitonyerhorse and me when he drove right by where it really was. Thanks for the quickie. mjp303

Danke Shane: Planet Hunter

By: Team Nazgul Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Very cool area! [8D] We took the time to study the telescope. and marvelled at the precision required to grind and polish the lens. At the end, we met up with a docent who knew about the cache, but hadn't taken the time to 'find' it. We showed it to her, and she promised that our 'secret' was safe with her! TFTC. mjp303

A Little Evil

By: zapboy Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

...more than a little evil, I'd say, but once we figured out how to get good satelite rececption everything fell into place. Nicely done! mjp303

Tank atop a Slope with a View

By: projosh Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

The tank was fine, but that level gauge was pretty decrepit. Thanks for the smilie. mjp303

Fisherwoman's Favorite Firefighters

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

This cache has us bamboozled for a while, but eventually gitonyerhorse found it in a spot that geekster and I were sure we'd already checked. Thanks! mjp303

Grant Lake Trailhead

By: ckayaks Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

There was something in the trash can that the wasps liked, and that black widow was guarding a couple of egg balls in the shade close by. Fortunately the cache's hiding spot was insect free! mjp303

White Barn

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Our arrows were twirling on this one, but eventually we found it. We noticed what was probably a mountain lion trap on the way back to the car. mjp303

The Twin Gates

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Usually a trailhead cache tempts me with the prospect of a hike, but not today. It was too hot and too dry. Thanks for the chance to stretch our legs on the way to the top though. mjp303

Landings and Lights

By: Team feline Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

We were puttering about the fence for a while, and saw a take-off and a landing. I'm pretty sure someone in the tower picked up the binoculars to check us out. mjp303

Moons Over Mount Hammy

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Long and winding to get to, but definitely worth the trek. Moffet field looked like a tiny speck in the distance. I sat my GPSr down on that stump and it got covered with sap. grrr. TFTC! mjp303

Emma's Park

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

Out with geekster and gitonyerhorse today. It appears there are lots of changes in progress for this park: there were construction fences all about and lots of remodelling in progress. TFTC. mjp303

Fairchild Superfund

By: Otis Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

We couldn't find any evidence of this area's unsavory history: It appears the job is complete. Thanks for the tour. mjp303

Give a man a "GHOTI"- corollary 1 to "OFF agin"

By: byjer Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I looped by this cache on the way back to the road home. I found it camouflaged by an old shirt. That's a first! Thanks for the diversion. mjp303

OFF Agin(or on?) 2

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

I was hunting caches in different Nevada counties on the way home to California. I'm not exactly sure which one this one is in, but hopefully it isn't Washoe because I've already got that one. Thanks. mjp303

Beowawe Rest Break I-80 Westbound

By: lyonden_ut & jimmonty Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

A quick break on our way home to California. We had the place to ourselves, and the only animals we saw in the 'Pet Area' were three huge crows. After making the find, we dashed back to the car since it had just started to rain. Thanks! mjp303

No swimmin' pools, No movie stars...

Well, we thought we knew where this one was going when we saw the freeway exit sign, but caching always throws some interesting twists. [;)] Oh, there was nothing out of ordinary about the hide, and we laughed at the joke, but just as we were getting ready to leave, the proprietor of the local establishment came out to greet us. It seems that he has noticed some unusual activity in the last few weeks: 'There's sure a lot of folks stopping by recently, and I wondered what's going on?' Well, I proceeded to give my best GC.com PR speech, showing him my GPSr, PDA with cache description, cache container, log sheet, etc, etc, etc. I figure you can consider the guy fully informed now. He was pretty suprised that all of this has been going on under his nose for over a year now, though, and did mention that he didn't appreciate the person who was digging around the base of his sign. [:O] Perhaps you should mention in the cache description that it isn't hidden on private property? TFTC. mjp303

John and Ted (6) made the short trek to the cache with me. There was great swag, and we traded! Thanks for the diversion. mjp303

We were looking for a bug to take back to California, but unfortunately found that the countdown on the launchpad had been halted. Thanks for the stroll in the sagebrush! mjp303

What Is This?

The family reunion is over, and we're on our way back to civilization. Our urge to cache is only slightly stronger than the one for a nice hot shower! Thanks for tempting us to stop and enjoy the view. mjp303

Welcome to Fairview, Gateway to Skyline Drive

After that 4* up the canyon, we decided that some refreshment was in order. Hey look! A cache only 150' away! Thanks for something more our speed. I picked up FamilyFun geotoken #136 which will travel home to California with us. TFTC. mjp303

FAIR~VIEW?

By: KRYPTONITERACERS Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

So, we're driving down the canyon after a family reunion at Joes Valley, and I notice some folks climbing up the hill in a pretty strange spot. After a quick glance at the GPSr, there's only one conclusion: geocachers. So we stop and join the fun. Pretty soon, we realize that it's 4* fun. [:O] And I'm wishing we were down on solid level ground. Thanks for the smilie, and nice to meet other cachers in the field. mjp303

Potters Pond

'Only 0.25 mi to the cache? How difficult could it be?', I thought to myself after concluding there was no trail. (If there was one, I don't want to know!) It turned out to be a fun challenge with plenty of obstacles (a stream, a bog, dozens of downed trees, mosquitos, horse flies, stinging nettle, sharp branches...need I go on?) SL LN, but took one picture (there are 6 remaining) and plenty of memories. When the film gets developed, I'm the sweaty one covered with bugs and sporting the completely contented grin. Now, put that track up on the GPSr so I can find my way outta here! mjp303

We were visiting Joes Valley for a family reunion, and this was one of the closest to our campsite. A very interesting diversion and quite unexpected in such an arid spot. TFTC! mjp303

On our way down to Joes Valley for a family reunion. The kids really appreciated all the great swag in this new cache, and we traded like crazy. I think it was Ted (6) who made the find. Thanks! mjp303

Break the Monotony of I-80 E1

By: JimMonty & Sara Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

The thermometer at the trailhead read 90 °C, which I figured was pretty cool for this spot. The warning about scorpions and snakes added a bit of excitment to the trek. Thanks! mjp303
