FINAL ACTIVITIES 2009

By: SPHERICAL FULLERENES Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Large

I witnessed the finding of the first stage, but was just a little slow on the last one. Thanks for the OOV coin!

K50 Defender

By: Alamogul Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I couldn't find this one on my way out, but was able to come up with it quickly on the way back. I didn't have any spare time before the Team Checker 10K event. Thanks!

Meerkat Rock

By: TyToons & Mtndew707 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

I dug the cache out of the mud, opened it, and surprisingly the log was mostly dry. I'm sure I left muddy footprints on it. I cleaned up with a little water from the bottle I carry on my bike. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Stephano Ct

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I parked my bike, signed and moved along. I think the weather helped keep the levy trail fairly empty today.

Alameda Creek - Rest Stop

By: Geo Fan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

I had to look here and there, but found without too much hassle. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Lowry

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I was headed for the Team Checkers 10K event later and the Venona event, but thought I would pick up a few caches first. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Olga St.

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

The official coordinates put me in a quandary since they put me near some trees with few hiding places. STP Ron's coordinates worked well for me. Thanks!

Alameda Creek - Near Trail's End

By: Geo Fan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

I skipped this one as I hurried to the turn-around point just ahead. I signed quickly and hopped back on my bike to get to the Team Checkers 10K event. Thanks!

TanCan

By: Baron88 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I skipped this one on the way out since someone was coming up the trail. No problem on the way back. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Flint River

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I saw, I signed, I bicycled on. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Cypress

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Not hard to spot. Thanks!

Tennis Ball Mine

By: Geo Fan Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

I'm glad I read the full description while I was standing there, observing. I had a bit of a tussle pulling out the log, but no real problem. Thanks!

To Small For A Big One

By: TyToons & Mtndew707 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Hmm. Is small the diameter or the length? Well, no matter. Just as I was about to fish for a tool in my pack, I spotted the hide. No tools required. Thanks!

Eden Landing Ecological Reserve - View

By: Geo Fan Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I pulled out by GPSr just in time -- when I was just about to pass the cache on my bike. No trouble spotting it. Thanks!

Alameda Creek - Bay View Nano

By: Geo Fan Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I saw that the end was near, so I pedaled on. No problem finding or signing. Thanks!

Team Checkers' First 10K

By: way2wild Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

I haven't been to an event for a while, so it was good to see some familiar faces. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Troll bridge

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

These caches are a great incentive to explore this trail. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Alvarado

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

The coordinates worked well for me. After riding on by, then coming back, I ended up parking my bike within reach of the cache. Thanks!

Coyote Hills View

By: donvsop Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

The coordinates and the hint were good for me. This type of hide can otherwise be a time sink. Thanks!

Venona Little Pictures '09

By: BuckyD Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I didn't come up with one of the little pictures, but it was a least significant digit. I decided to make this my first stop this afternoon since the spot looked promising from Google Maps. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Train

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I let some dog walkers/hikers pass then headed down for this one. It was fairly exposed and may not last, but there are lots along here anyway. Thanks!

Levee Bicycling - Ant Tree

By: csolsen Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I parked at the staging area and headed out for a bike ride this afternoon. This was my first cache of the day.
