High-Rise Neighbors

By: zapboy Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I happened upon this puzzle a few weeks ago, and enjoyed figuring it out. I finally went out at lunchtime today to find the cache. The cache location was certainly in-theme! There will be many more high-rise neighbors in a few months.

Taz's Teaser

Lots of people were walking and jogging on the trail at lunchtime today, so I read the hint and made a quick find during a break in traffic. Thanks!

Coffee Anyone #2

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

Parking was a major problem at this little shopping center at lunchtime today. Fortunately, the coffee drinkers were coming and going at a rapid rate, so a spot soon opened up. No problems finding the cache. Thanks!

Bus Stop

I was in the area at lunchtime today, so I made a stop here. The cache was on the ground again, so I moved it up again. Thanks!

Going On A Long Trip?

By: airshadowshow Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I stopped by at lunchtime to drop the "MMS 6th Period" travel bug.

Akebelons NEC Steps

I was in the area at lunchtime, dropping a travel bug near the San Jose airport, and decided to grab a couple other caches as well. Thanks!

Distant Thunder

By: hart612 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

This is my first Delaware cache. I am out from California on business, and didn't have much time for caching, but this didn't take long since I was driving right by. The mud by the road and the puddles along the way were pretty well frozen today. No problems finding the cache with the good coordinates and excellent hint. Thanks!

Foreign Currency Exchange/Depository

By: k9zues Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I am on a business trip from California, and had just enough down time this afternoon to grab this cache. The icy wind was whipping off the water and freezing my California bones as I made the little hike to the cache. The puddles along the way were pretty well frozen. I managed to spot the cache without resorting to the nice hint. I took nothing, left nothing. I think this area would be a great spot to schedule a CITO event for the local cachers. Thanks!

Urban Beach #1

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

I enjoyed caching around this area today. It is very nice. I spent a while skulking around in the landscaping before I finally spotted the camo on this one. I jotted down the numbers on the Ontario coin to log a discovery. Thanks!

Quest for the Masks

By: Eagle81 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I did most of the caches a few weeks ago and had a great time riding around the area on my bike. Today, I was driving around, and managed to find the closest spot for parking. No problems figuring out where to look for this one. Thanks for the series!

Catamaran

By: Sierra Hikers Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

This is quite a nice area. I came up for a couple puzzles, and ended up going for a few extra caches. Thanks!

As Seen From the Sky!

By: Daniel & Christina Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Cool spot for a cache. I had not spotted this on my flights into SFO. There were a couple R/C airplane enthusiasts out here today flying their planes. The lid on the plastic container is broken, so I expect the cache contents may be a little damp this winter. I took the Midvale travel bug and left Greeny the Cheetah travel bug.

Go Dogs, Go!

By: TBD & D, SUPERflamingo, and GeoBeags Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Wow, nice dog park, and full of dogs in the middle of the day. The nearby gardener probably wondered what I was up to, but I made the pickup and dropoff as quick as possible. Thanks!

look out above

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

The coordinates were just fine. No problems finding the cache. This is a nice area that I had not visited before. Thanks!

Fame

By: trode Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

It took me a while to work this out. I was grateful for the checksum because I fouled up a couple times. I finally got the right sentence and the right historical time. Today I planned to pick up a couple puzzles, and the final made some sense based on what I know about the cache owner. Thanks!

The Boulevard Bridge

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

I came up today for a couple puzzles, but was glad I was able to get around and see more of the area and grab a few more caches. My GPSr didn't zero out real close to the cache so I searched in the wrong places for a while, but I used the hint and expanded my search and came up with the nicely camo'ed cache. Thanks!

Quest for the Masks: Ga-Wahi

By: Eagle81 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I was back up in this area for a puzzle cache, and decided to have another go at this one. The tide was considerably lower than my last visit. No problems finding it this time.
