The Rocky Mound Cache

By: Dan and Joseph Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I needed a cache in Imperial county for the challenge, and the first one I came to ended up as a DNF. Fortunately I was able to find this cache after a short search. I loved watching the light fade over the mountains to the west, and being able to see the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury (very faint) in the evening sky. TFTC! mjp303

Azucar Mine Offset

Heading to the 29Palms area for a desert caching adventure, we had to stop for this oldie. Calculations only get you so far, and then we fanned out for the hunt. The sun was nearly gone, and the wind had a biting nip, but we prevailed after a few moments. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting location! It was great to get away from the interstate that was jam-packed with holiday traffic. mjp303

Tour de SSF #5 ? Bertolucci's

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

[8D]FTF![8D] 7:05a Checking notifications this morning, I saw that this cache had just popped up. It was a relatively quick find after dodging early morning smokers, employees arriving for work, and a security camera on the back of Bertolucci's. I've eaten lunch at a lot of restaurants in SSF, but never this one. After checking the menu outside the front entrance, I know why! ($$) I'll keep it in mind for the next special occasion though!

Tour de SSF #1 ? Hands In The Air!

By: butchmouse Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

I walked over to this cache during lunch. Just as I located the hiding spot, a couple of pedestrians launched into a long-winded conversation. When it became evident that my presence wasn't going to cut things short, I sauntered away to grab a bite. On the way back I was able to make a quick grab and sign. TFTC. mjp303
