Bitter Cache

By: thejohnsonz Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Plenty of people visiting Salt Creek today. The water was flowing nicely. bthomas answered our questions, and I'll pose some new ones. What do pupfish eat? Do pupfish have any predators? Thanks for pointing out a very interesting life and death struggle in a harsh place. mjp303

Journey to the Center of the World

By: Roving2Sum Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Curious place. It sort of bugged me that what was described as a $5 'suggested donation' on the sign outside was actually a 'museum admission fee'. Times are tough I reckon. TFTVC. mjp303

~OCEAN TO OCEAN~

By: GIDEON-X Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

bthomas and I found this very interesting virtual together. On the first pass I didn't understand the traffic signals and ended up driving the single lane against traffic. Angered a few folks who started honking, but I was committed. Oh well. Thanks for pointing the bridge out! mjp303

By: Raymonking Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Left What in San Francisco?

By: bthomas Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Work holiday lunch at Slanted Door, so we parked nearby. The ramp was quite full, and we had to park on the top level, which provided the perspective in my photo. TFTVC! mjp303

Some like it Hot

By: AquaDyne Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Out for a megawatt run with bthomas and Geoides on Powerline road. Nothing reading on the thermometer...I figured it was too cold for the mercury to get out of the bulb! TFTVC. mjp303

Oops 1873 - Oops 1974

By: Dr. Webe & The Ski Bum Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

This is a very interesting marker. Thanks for pointing it out! I wonder if the surveying crew was a little careless in their work thinking, 'What's the big deal? No one will live or own property out here in the middle of nowhere anyhow!' Whoops! TFTVC. mjp303
