Elizabeth's Shortcut

By: Rogue Ramblers Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Wow! This location reminded me of a few caches I've done up in the City. I always get pretty nervous in this type of location, and coming around at 7:30 in the morning didn't help! Fortunately, it was a quick find for me. Thanks for pointing out a neat spot! mjp303

Middle Sheep Camp Trail

By: PurplePeople Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

[soapbox]...I suppose you could call the Upper and Lower Sheep Camp caches trailhead markers...but at least they're far enough from illegal parking that you wouldn't risk a dash and grab like I (and several others, evidently) did on this one! [/soapbox] TFTC. mjp303

Edgewood's Front Door

By: PurplePeople Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Before arriving, I was pretty sure I knew where this cache was placed. I confidently walked up to the object of interest and promptly discovered that my GPSr was pointing about 150' elsewhere! TFTC. mjp303

Howdy Pardn'r

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

No napping for me, just a quick turn-out with the blinkers on. I paid my respects to the boys, and then got down to business. Prickly! The commuters who passed by probably thought I was there for a pit stop! TFTC. mjp303

Urban Beach #1

By: magata Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

10:30pm Quiet and deserted now. [;)] The cache is back in place. Oh, and I dropped a TB.

Urban Beach #1

By: magata Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I found it, but not before attracting the attention of a trio of 'tweens. They were eyeballing me pretty closely, so I muttered something about finding a lost toy and took the cache with me to run a couple of errands. Coming back 45 minutes later, there they were, sitting on the swings, dragging their feet in the sand exactly like I left them. DRAT! So the cache is still on the front seat of my car. Sorry. I'll put it back tonight. Oh, the green jeep isn't there. TFTC! mjp303

East Pond

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

It seems you've got the the bases covered out here (...well at least first and third!) As Catomcat mentioned in his log, the white pelicans were still present: probably about a thousand of them, truely impressive. As I approached the cache, there was a group or ravens. Each one was perched on top of its own rock pile. They squawked at me, but didn't fly away, and I felt like I was in a Hitchcock film. Creepy. Thanks! mjp303

East Pond

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

Belated bug drop. Whoops!

West Pond

By: MotorBug Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I think I walked a bit further today than I thought I would, but I'm not complaining since there was so much to enjoy along the way to this cache. Standing quietly on the levee I could hear the ducks: not a quacking or a honking, but a kind of insect-like buzzing coming from thousands of tiny throats. Fascinating! I had hoped to grab the TA coin, but it wasn't there. In spite of that, I left a rowanf coin. TFTC! mjp303

The Functional Bridge

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

I was passing through on another errand and stopped to grab this cache. Thanks for showing me this interesting spot; hopefully the cache will survive the construction, if it ever happens! Those are 'horse apples' on that tree. mjp303

Look Out Below

By: SlumDweller Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

It took a few minutes of sytematic searching, but I found it eventually. Fortunately, I had a few moments to myself! As soon as I put the cache back, the walkway got busy. Thanks for showing me this peaceful spot. mjp303

T in the Road

By: Diana, Jim and Bryan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

My jury duty got postponed until the afternoon so I suddenly had some time on my hands, and the baylands seemed like a great place to take a hike. After seeing about ten different types of ducks, I kinda lost count: this place is teeming with birds! What a great place to relax on a beautiful fall morning. TFTC! mjp303

Pure Quality Bald Knob

By: Ruprex and Ruprex's Girl (adopted by mjp303) Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

Sorry I've been so slow to get this cache up and running again. geekster tells me it is indeed missing.
