O.W.L.2: The Hairy Plodder Trail

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

1:06 pm - This cache made for a nice loop and the terrain wasn't that hard. All of the stages were find except that darn willow. We found all kinds of hints (including one on a cut-down branch), but it took a good hour of searching to find the actual coordinates. Tough one. The rest was fine and we enjoyed the view on this mild day in St. Teresa. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Club Santa Teresa

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

2:59 pm - Nice place! We enjoyed the walk and the view. I just wish we had figured out how to drive up to this lot! Thanks.

O.W.L.1: The Hairy Plodder Trail

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

11:30 am - This series was fun and well-done. We had a lot of trouble with the first stage, but after that it went smoothly. Anne was still walking very carefully to avoid any snakes or spiders. We didn't see any... yet. Thanks!

Gateway Santa Teresa

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

2:41 pm - We made a quick stop for this one on our way out of the park. Yeah, we're backwards. Thanks!

Free St. Teresa!

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

10:30 am - We were heading for a different cache, but ended up here. Anyplace with a cache is OK by me. I got out to make a quick grab when a woman said to me exitedly "There's tarantulas here!" Indeed there was a large one just a few feet off the pavement. I looked for a moment then headed off to the cache, barely noticing the other tarantula inches away. It scurried off and I signed the log. I think the woman didn't need to see any more spiders and took her book elsewhere.
Now if I was smart about it, I would have kept this little story to myself. Instead, I told it to my wife who then suggested we find a different park to spend the day in. I reassured her and headed on our way. TFTC!

Pueblo Santa Teresa

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

2:25 pm - We were pretty tired after a relatively short hike, but this one would be an easy one on the way out. We picked up the first two stages easily enough. We had been on the lookout for snakes and spiders all day, but had only seen a few spiders. I found the decoy cache and looked to the left. Anne moved a rock to get at the cache and when she moved her hand away she noticed something - a small snake curled up right next to the cache. It was a rattler. And its much larger mother was right behind it. Yikes! Uncovering it revealed that it was another decoy, and soon the mother and child snake rattled
and moved underground. I carefully plucked out the real cache and TNLNSL.
This was the first time I've run into a sizable rattler. Do be careful out here!

Santa Teresa Driving Lessons

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

3:08 pm - We went for the Club cache, then went back to our car to find this cache even closer. While I grabbed the cache, Anne collected some golf balls for those that she will inevitably lose in a water hazard. Thanks.

Hidden Secrets Trail

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

11:01 am - This was a nice and easy multi and a good warmup for the series to come. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Rest on Your Laurels

By: STP Ron Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

3:32 pm - Nice spot for a rest. This was as far up as we would go today thought it was tempting to grab the others not too far up. I found the numbers OK and then the cache in an interesting spot. The container still looks brand-new! TNLNSL. Thanks!

Coyote Peak Shady Rest

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

3:20 pm - We didn't quite trust the trail to get here so we cut across the hill a bit. Near the cache it was a regular zoo! We saw half a dozen deer (including a buck), turkeys and other varmits, all living together. They were all extremely docile.
The cache was open, but still had some contents inside. There was no log book, but now I understand why. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Bernal Hill

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

1:36 pm - It was tempting to cut across to this one from the top of the hill, but decided ther was probably a better trail. We went down, came back up again and found ourselves in no better position, so we cut across. I don't see another way to get here. It was a good time to take a break too. It takes quite a bit of effort to grab a bunch of these newer Santa Teresa caches! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Duck!

By: digitalfish Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

4:56 pm - We searched and searched for this one, and just couldn't come up with it. I called a lifeline and was pointed to a spot I just didn't check enough. The hint made me think it was elsewhere. Anyway, thanks!

Baylands Bridge

By: digitalfish Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

5:06 pm - This area made me kind of nervous as it got dark. I was happy to grab this one quickly and find my car intact. Thanks.

Three Women Who Cared

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

4:35 pm - We thought we might walk from the first to second stage, but then we ended up on a street and decided that driving might be a better option.
We had been to stage 2 before, but not all the way out. Cool spot. We again drove to another spot to get to stage 3 and pick up the other caches.

I remember another cache around here a long time ago. As we found it we somehow got on the topic of broccoli ice cream. Conclusion: not a good idea.

T
NLNSL. Thanks!

CITO Your Summer Part 1

By: Scout353 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

3:27 pm - It took us three tries to find the trailhead to this one because I just didn't see a way in. Eventually we just strolled in and found the tiny trail.
Either people have been really good about cleaning up this trail or there wasn't much trash to start with. In either case we couldn't find any. Thanks.

Lakeside

By: NHRunner Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

4:14 pm - We nearly gave up on this one but then I checked out a spt that Mom had identifed earlier and found it. I think this area could support a much larger cache.
So what's up with the water pump? Lots of people were filling up. Thanks.

Dam it! #2

By: uber_bike_geek Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

12:38 pm - I thought this one might have been washed away after all the rain, but we found it after a few minutes of searching. The spot is not very secure though, so I'm not sure this one will last long-term. Thanks.

Twenty-Nine

By: ThePetersPack Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

12:51 pm - There was a cache similar to this in California and I got the FTF because this isn't nearly as well-known out there.
This was easy to solve, but I had to check my answers a few times to make sure I had it right.

It was a quick find when we got there; I saw it from the car! TNLNSL. Thanks!

A Nickel, A Dime, Two Bits, A Buck

By: ThePetersPack Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

4:30 pm - This was a nice cache to end our day. It was well-hidden and should last awhile. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Moose Hill Picnic Area

By: ThePetersPack Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

2:59 pm - This place looked familiar; we had been here earlier in the day! I thought there was a shorter way in. I should be better about reading the descriptions for parking coordinates.
We made our way in, but passed the cache somehow. We considered trying to get through the swamp, but thought better of it. We turned around and found the other trail back a ways. We found the cache OK once there and TNLNSL. Thanks!

Peace on Earth

By: uber_bike_geek Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

1:50 pm - There were lots of people around today collecting apples and pumpkins. We trekked across a pumpkin patch to the pole. I saw one of these at a cache in California once. I found the cache easily. The log was really wet, but I scraped in our names. Thanks.

Water Tour aka Night Swamp

By: Scout353 Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small

3:47 pm - We kinda lost track of how many waypoints we visited along the way to this one and when we got to the final we weren't sure what we were looking for. After some persistence Mom found it. Like most of the caches we found today the log was soaked so we could barely sign. TFTC.

Another Londonderry Night Cache

By: ThePetersPack Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

1:36 pm - Well, we didn't do this one at night, but it wasn't sunny either. [:D] Thanks for the tour. Left a WJTB, but only very briefly. [;)]

Londonderry Rec. Fields

By: ThePetersPack Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

2:09 pm - We did a bit of bushwacking on this one and found it soon after. I remember running lots of cross-country trails around here; I wonder if this was one of them? TNLNSL. Thanks!

Loop Trail Cache

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

2:10 pm - The climb was steep up here or maybe the earth was tilting towards us. No time to halluncinate though, many more miles to come! Thanks.

Valley View

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small

1:51 pm - Hitchhiking down on the road seemed like a good idea about the time we arrived here. We were tired. The water was a nice find though and we refilled. Thanks.

Shady Creek Hill

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

1:37 pm - Yikes, I'm feeling pretty sore and we're not even halfway yet! We took it slow for a while and kept on going. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Shady Creek Cache

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

1:20 pm - It was a good time for a break here after tromping up the wrong hill. MotorBug found the cache then got out some lunch which looked suspiciously like baby food. I had a little to eat as well but apparently not enough - I was woozy by the end of the hike. Reminder to self: eat more! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Have A Seat

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

3:06 pm - I had a date with MotorBug back down the trail, so I was in a hurry to grab this one. Odd place to have a seat. I found the cache OK and was surprised to see a WJTB. I took it and a golf ball, leaving a video game. Thanks!

Diablo Vista

By: geodanimal Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small

2:38 pm - I looked all around for this cache and them spotted it about 2 inches from my face. Thanks for another!

Tour de Tank

By: CAhikers2x2 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

5:40 pm - Dead. I felt completely dead when we finally made it to the top of the hill and to this cache. MotorBug and I had a long sit, popping jelly beans while we worked up the motivation to head back to the car. Ahhh. Thanks!

Star Puzzle

By: Jimswim Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

4:42 pm - I wasn't quite sure about how to get there, so we headed up "road" which turned out to go no where. We cross-countried it from there up to a barbed-wire fence with the cache 200 feet on the other side. I found a spot with room under the fence probably used by deer. It got me on the way up with a nice scrape on my arm.
We wandered a bit before I found the cache. I was happy that the puzzle was easy because it was getting late. Of course then I saw the real road that led out. Strangely there was no sign or fence leading out, so I don't know why there was a fence there.

Anyway, thanks for the cache and puzzle!

Trail End 32

By: dandm Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

3:30 pm - It's 3:30 and I've been on the trail for 5 and half hours. It's going to get dark in a few hours and I'm at the furthest part of the park. I better hustle back. I found the cache quickly, TNLNSL and turned around. I'm glad I made it all the way out here. Thanks.

Turtle Pond

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

4:06 pm - Hey, there were turtles here! Two scurried off logs back into the water as I approached. Searched for a while, then spotted the cache in an unexpected container. Thanks.

Kilkare Canyon Overlook

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

2:47 pm - The plan was for me to run down to this one and grab it while MotorBug continued on the trail. But MotorBug showed up and announced he had enough. I bribed him with a few jelly beans and I almost got him to change his mind. I continued on alone, but by the end of it, taking a shortcut seemed like it would have been the much wiser choice! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Railway Bridge

By: GeoBrowns Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Well, at least I have company. 11 other people have posted a DNF. Perhaps it's time for a hint?

Mary Pose I A

By: Ashley Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

3:17 pm - This was one of the strangest places I've found a magnetic altoids container. It was in good shape though and exploded with stickers when I opened it. Thanks for the cache.

Walruz' Pit Stop

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

12:49 pm - These bathroom caches disturb me. I'm always concerned that while looking for the cache I'll accidentally find "something else". Luckily we did not and TNLN - really. Thanks!

Going Bannanas

By: Ashley Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

4:41 pm - MotorBug took a shortcut back and I finally met back up with him here. Cute container. TNLNSL. Thanks!

A Simple Cache - Augustin Bernal

By: GeoJohn23 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

11:55 am - Nice and simple for sure. And for MotorBug's information, I found the cache. [:D] Thanks.

Park Anywhere-Augustin Bernal

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

10:04 am - I was looking for this cache when I saw a blind man walking towards me. Well, he was wearing a big hat and sunglasses. He was using a walking stick and didn't seem to know where he was going.
Wait a minute, that's not a blind guy, it's MotorBug! [:D] He joined me in the search and a few minutes later I found it. I actually saw it before, but discounted it. Thanks for the cache to get us started up the hill.

Fishin' with Monkeys (It's a 2-fer!!)

By: Marshmallow Roester Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

12:14 pm - Well it was my turn to monkey around here but I failed miserably. I literally caught a snag and I couldn't get it to release so MotorBug did it the hard way.
I thought the 2nd cache here was the other monkeying around cache, but I guess it's a different one. I guess I don't get it though since there's no waypoint for the 2nd one. Are you supposed to log this one twice?

Anyway, TFTC.

Natural Cloning

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

11:42 am - It had been a tough morning, so it was nice to grab an easy one for a change. TNLNSL. Thanks.

WalruZ @1K

By: TeamAlamo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

4:51 pm - WalruZ at 1K. Ahh, the good ol' days. The first 1K is always the sweetest one.
This cache was a little toughie. TNLNSL. Thanks.

LeChuck's Sinbad Treasure

By: LeChuck Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

12:36 pm - MotorBugand I were consulted the topo map as we approached this one and were were not pleased. Looking a bit closer, we found another way and took a leeettle shortcut which involved way less elevation change. Considering how tired we were later in the day, that was a probably a very good idea.
MotorBug was apparently following the "trail" that was actually a scratch on his GPS screen when I veered off to find the cache. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Just "monkeying" around

By: Marshmallow Roester (adopted by TeamNulti2003 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Small

11:28 am - MotorBug did the climb and it was fun to watch. I think 3.5 is based primarily on the effort to get the log out! Fun cache (especially for me). Thanks.

LeChuck's Hermits Treasure

By: LeChuck Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

11:04 am - There was a lot of PO around here and if I had read the description, I wouldn't have been tromping around in it! MotorBug checked the spot where the cache was, but not thoroughly enough. He was off in the PO when I found it. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Augustin Bernal Park

By: N2Books2 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

10:39 am - Ths was our second cache in the park and it did not bode well for our day. We spent a long time walking through the poison oak trying to find the cache. Suprisingly I had a cell coverage and I was able to download the cache page including the picture. When I looked around I found a spot not far away that seemed to fit and there was the cache. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Just One Thing

By: Cachin' Katie and Sandi Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

6:05 pm - Oh man, my feet are killing me. When I got home I realized why - 4 blisters per foot. Ow. I really just wanted to get this done so I could go home and have a shower. We did and I did. Thanks!

Oct 7, 2005

NUTTS POND

By: MrGolf Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

12:15 pm - This one was on our way home, so Dad and I stopped for a quick one here. He had never actually seen Nutts Pond before. We found the cache easily and TNLNSL. Grabbed a bite to eat at Wendy's on the way out. Thanks!

Don ?t Anyone Take Exception

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

12 pm - Harjula asked me for a hint on this one a while back. Somehow it came to me easily then, but when I tried to solve it for myself, I forgot how to do it. The coordinates looked suspicious, but it was right there when I pulled up with my Dad. Thanks!

Oct 5, 2005

Speed Ease

By: Rocket Girl and DuckeyLee Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

7:15 pm - I was on my way to get my phone fixed and stopped by for a quick cache. Yup, it was quick. Thanks!

Sky Can

By: L-grl Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

7 pm - I keep forgetting to log this one. I've been here for both previous caches, but it's still a cool spot. Thanks!

Oct 2, 2005

Welcome to Souptown

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

5:12 pm - Well, I thought I DNF'd this one, but I guess I didn't. Thanks fogheads!

Palm Park Cache

By: Team_Unicycle Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

6:16 pm - MotorBug and I didn't find this fresh cache on our first look, but then MotorBug noticed something and soon we had it. There was much excitement as we opened the log sheet to find it -- blank! MotorBug's pen was so excited, it blew up. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Any two five elevennis?

By: ed777 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3:25 pm - This was a bonus cache after BMX. We grabbed it on the way back to the car. MotorBug was my chaperone but I managed to find it all by myself. Thanks.

BMX Rides Again! (formerly BMX No More)

By: ed777 & little_hiker Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

3:21 pm - As MotorBug and I walked to this one, we remembered the many caches that used to be in this park. Good camo. I hope this one lasts! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Family Beginnings

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

4:17 pm - I've been to this spot, but I'm not telling why. [:D] MotorBug grabbed the cache after I couldn't seem to get my hands on it. OK, who left their undies in the tree? Thanks!

Family Additions

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

4:33 pm - Doing a little research before made a big difference in making sure we were on the right side of the water. It wasn't too hard to find and we were off to find the final! TNLNSL. Thanks.

The Home is Where the Heart Is

By: summerandnana Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

4:46 pm - I've been all over this area, but never to this spot. We found the cache OK. I wonder if that weinermobile in the cache is the one I left in a cache a while back. Anyway, TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!

328

By: Thefogheads Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

5:21 pm - Our targets were out of the way of this cache, but I just couldn't stand to have this one cache left hanging around. MotorBug hung out in the car while I want over to grab this one. Nice lid! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Wrapsidy's Cache

By: EricsBrat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3:57 pm - I locked MotorBug in my car while I went after this one. The joke was on me though - I needed his help to find the cache. It looks like the difficulty is more appropriate now. Thanks.

VTA Bascom Station

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

5:44 pm - Five minutes after the last one and 6 minutes until the next one. We were on a roll! Thanks.

VTA Fruitdale Station

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

5:50 pm - Grabbed the cache and then went for a brain freeze. I needed one of those. Thanks!

Concrete Creek Cache

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

3:45 pm - Quick stop for MotorBug and me. He waited since he had already found it. Thanks!

VTA Race Station

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

6:04 pm - We figured out the coordinates at the last stage except for C. MotorBug guessed at a number and he turned out to be right. Too bad we were at the wrong end of the line. I'll get it another day. Thanks!

VTA Hamilton Station

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

5:39 pm - MotorBug and I were talking about getting ice cream then realized we needed to pull over for a cache. I wandered one way, then came back another to find the cache. MotorBug, without his GPSr, wandered aimlessly. Thanks!

VTA Winchester Station

By: frivlas Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

5:07 pm - Found this one quickly - many more to come! Thanks.

VTA Downtown Campbell Station

By: frivlas Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

5:32 pm - The best part of this one was watching MotorBug destroy the fence. Ha! Thanks.

It's a jungle out there

By: frivlas and oneangrypuppy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

3:39 pm - This was a familiar spot, especially for MotorBug! Since he forgot his GPSr, I pointed him off to an another spot while I found the cache. [:D] Thanks.

By: PrincessIchi Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

8:37 am - Yup, this was an easy one, maybe too easy. I hope it lasts! TNLNSL. Thanks.

Shopping for a cache

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

9:39 am - I had a rough morning, so I was happy to come across an easy one. Thanks!

Papua New Guinea Grove

By: Linc-Clan Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

7:53 am - I've heard about this place, but never knew where it was. Cool spot. Hard to get a signal, but eventually I found it. Thanks!

Cornelis Bol Park Booty

By: ms piglet Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

9:11 am - Grrr, I really dislike playground caches. I got lots of odd looks while waiting around for the lot to be clear. It's a good thing that most kids have short attention spans.
I finally got some private time to search, but couldn't find it, so I called a lifeline. My lifeline took a while to remember the cache, but he pulled through. Didn't expect it there. Thanks.

Steeple Chase #1

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

9:30 am - Not too many people around at this hour, so once I searched in the right area it was quick. TNLNSL. Thanks.

GeoBeads #9 - Hidden in a Hidden Walkway

By: zapboy with help from workerofwood Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

9:53 am - Well, I found the underwear first and I thought that was some really unique camo! I continued my search though and eventually found the nicely done cache. Just as I did a couple with a couple of dogs came around the corner. I stood there rather awkwardly until they passed. Only 2 beads left! Thanks!

Electric Lizard

By: oneangrypuppy and frivlas Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

8:33 am - There were lots of people walking by today so I had to take a couple breaks in my searching. I was having trouble finding it when I asked myself, "how would Marky search here?" I resolved to be more thorough in my search and I found it right after that.
That's a nice $1M fixer-upper on the corner! TFTC.

Go Fish

By: PrincessIchi Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

8:11 am - I always enjoy these kinds of caches. I found both stages easily. My only worry was dropping the tool! TNLNSL. Thanks!

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah...

By: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

6:13 pm - We saw this place as we drove by and wondered what these new buildings were for. We found the statue and it still took a minute before we realized where we were. Cool!
We did a few too many uturns trying to get to the final and almost ended up in Marin. Thank God for autorouting. TNLNSL. Thanks!

The Tortoise and the Fare

By: Cyan_Blue, ArnoldMHS, and Emmett_the_Sane Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

3:24 pm - The fare has gone up! I couldn't find the 2nd stage so I wandered a bit until I found a place that matched the hint and realized my issue was that the fare had gone up. I guess it went up $2 as of Oct 1.
It was easy enough to find the cache and I grabbed a sample at the secret 2nd sample station. Thanks!
