For Whom The Bell Tolls

By: caccbag Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I've always enjoyed looking for these bells, and am glad the state decided to restore and replace them. Thanks for the back story and the cache! mjp303

A bowler has lost his marbles

By: caccbag Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I was a bit worried the maintainace workers thought I was a commuter trying to schlep a free parking spot, but in the end it was a quick in and out, so my concerns were unnecessary. Lots of places like this in the midwest, but out here, not so much. I liked the cache ghillie suit! Thanks. mjp303

October Quakefest

By: Umbra Scit Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

It was dark and chilly when we finally arrived at GZ. I would have loved to see the views, perhaps another time. TFTC. mjp303

Sit Here!

By: TheHolyHour & busboy66 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I would have taken a seat to log the cache, but that couch was about 30 degrees! A bit distracted, I ended up leaving bthomas' widget at GZ, but he was able to quickly retrace steps and recover it. TFTC. mjp303

The Penny Sign Kids Cache

By: Alpick Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Caching towards Death Valley with a few quick stops, of course! TFTC. mjp303

Welcome to Nevada

By: Alpick Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Sort of confusing since this cache is pretty far from the border. But then again, if it were right on the line it would be in the national park, which is off limits. Thanks for the heads up! mjp303

Titus Canyon

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

Small consolation this find after realizing the target waypoint of the trip would be off-limits. Thanks for pointing the way though. mjp303

Pioneers

By: Two Feathers Clan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

We searched GZ for several minutes before realizing there was an offset. The cache is in good shape. Thanks for pointing out the pioneer cemetery. mjp303

Rhyolite/Bullfrog Cache

By: DesertXplorers Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Wide open spaces with the whispers of bygone dreams...I love old ghost towns! TFTC. mjp303

McGoo,s

By: DeserTrekers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

That took forever! Quite a bit of cache blindness on our part. Glad the store wasn't open and the lot deserted. TFTC. mjp303

Moving Day Gone Bad

By: Lil Devil Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Interesting find! We figured the van was pulled further away from the highway after the wreck. Less of a distraction I suppose. It must have happened quite a while ago though. TFTC! mjp303

Rock of Love's

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

Gas and a cache! Pretty good prices...at least compared to the CA prices I'm used to. TFTC. mjp303

"Desert Steve"

By: DeserTrekers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I couldn't resist the temptation to lift the lid on that casket. Morbid, morbid, morbid! After the fact, I was highly relieved to discover it was empty. Heh! I liked the sign. TFTC. mjp303

BIG RED TRACTOR

By: Hanna Family Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

A good start to the last day of the year! I was suprised with the size of the cache. Thanks. mjp303

So Soon Crossing

By: Moose Mob and 2-old Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

A shower, shampoo and conditioner combination, and towel dry has always worked for me...don't worry about my looks at all! Other folks have plenty more invested in it though. TFTC. mjp303

Wyatt

By: Moose Mob Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Thanks for the backstory! Picking up DeLorme pages and heading for the final later today. TFTC. mjp303

No "x" in "Nixon"

By: AD0OR Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Grabbing the Fizzy. Thanks for the twofer. I have no idea what the cache title is referring to, but the smilie heals all ills! TFTC. mjp303

Here's My Sign

By: Clay4 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Getting close the end of a long day, and the next to last cache of the year. Cold and dark. Dinner was at Longstreet's...nobody was going to have to call the cops on that crowd! Heh! TFTC. mjp303

If The Shoe Fence, Wear It

By: habu! Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Hey, you make do with what's offered, right? No trees in sight, so use the fence! TFTC. mjp303

Going Back to Cali

By: socalsundancekid Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Not chosen

Pleasant views from the top of the knoll. We replaced the cache with a camoflaged falcon tube. Look at bthomas' picture for a spoiler. The subsequent finder is correct, there are no bushes on the top, and I used the nearest available cover. Thanks! mjp303
