York Bridge

By: perthos - Maintained by Belplasca Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Found this one fairly quickly on our way out of the Park. I think it is the smallest micro I have seen. This was my second UK cache.

Jehangir Fountain

By: perthos - Maintained by Belplasca Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

After the zoo closed at 4:30, we hiked over to the fountain. I pull out my GPSr and let it get used to the idea that it wasn't in California anymore. It first lead me about 100 feet away, then back to where I started, and I found my first UK cache.

Built for 3

By: bthomas (Maintained by kindredlaugh) Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Not much happening on Presidents Day, and was able to park nearby and grab it fairly quickly.

Heritage Oaks Park

By: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Mostly had the park to myself this rainy day, and found it fairly quickly.

Our Lady of the River

By: Kreebelle & Kids (maintained by WalruZ) Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

The first of four caches in Rancho San Antonio today. The balance beam was a bit slippery from the rain.

Powerpuff Peak

By: The Carpetsharks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Saw lots of deer and quite a few hikers and runners for a rainy day. My fourth and final find in Rancho San Antonio today. With the rain picking up, I headed for the Bytemobile.

The Oaks

By: KurtS (adopted by budd-rdc) Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

Third of four finds on this rainy day in Rancho San Antonio. Thanks for the waypoints. They helped keep me on track since I was unfamiliar with the trails.

NykeBut

By: The Rat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I decided to park legally and hike on this rainy day. Found it fairly quickly.

The "Y" in the Road

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

Second of four finds on a rainy day in Rancho San Antonio. Found it after doing a little excavation about a foot away.

Foreign Exchange

By: I_LiKe_PiE Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Other

I just figured out that there is more than one cache named Foreign Exchange. I logged the wrong one back in February, and am logging the right one now (7/31/04).

Fake Monkey Writing

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

The cache needs a little maintenance. The log is full, and is soaking wet. Nice cammo, and fun puzzle.

Mellow Brick Road

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

Quick find, with the hint. Nice cammo.

Moulin Jagra Architecture

By: workerofwood Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Parked right by it. Screech! But no one was around.

TOTALLY TUBULAR

By: JOE & BRITDOG Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Micro

Found it pretty quickly. The velcro is still hanging in there.

Priest Rock Hopper

By: Marky and Joani Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I gave up, put on my day pack, then had one last look and found it.

Priest Rock

By: Marky and Joani Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

The wind whipping through the power lines and towers made quite an eerie sound today. Found the cache fairly quickly and took the Silver Bullet Brigade travel bug.

Mars' Cache

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

This is certainly off the beaten path.

Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve ~ MROSD

By: MROSD (adopted from Marky & Joani) Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Hit this fairly late in the afternoon after doing El Sombroso. I didn't see a travel bug.

Secret Trailhead #14 - Sierra Azul

By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

This one took a little while to find. beckerbuns did a fine job of re-hiding. Took nothing, left nothing.

Sombroso Spur

By: pedaler Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular

I think the trail (or NOT A TRAIL according to the ranger who signed the log) could use a little more pruning. I would suggest long pants and long sleeves.

El Sombroso

By: Pedalman Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

This was a major trek, but I was expecting it. I walked my bike up a number of hills. Picked up the Yosemite Bear travel bug.

Bald Mountain Cache

By: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I hid the cache a little better than I found it since it was quite visible. Dropped the Yosemite Bear travel bug, after biking over from El Sombroso with it.

Camo Micro

By: Team Weirdwonz Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Quick find, using the hint.
