Lots Of Juice

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

I was out with Admiral Workerofwood and his kayak fleet today. This is the one cache I got to first and actually had to search for today. I admired the cache contents, but left it all for everyone to see. Thanks!

Go Cal Bears!

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

I was probably the last to sign the log today. Jasmerb passed it over, then closed up the cache after I signed. This turned out to be a great evening for paddling out here.

Without Pier

By: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Small

There was a traffic jam of kayaks when I made it to the cache. The log was eventually passed to me and I made my mark. Thanks!

In Memory of...

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

We were headed back to Half Moon Bay from a hike at El Corte Madera. Traffic was so heavy on 92 that I suggested to Wirebndr that he turn right from Skyline to 92, then get in the left turn lane, go to this cache, then make a right turn to HMB. That all worked out, except that a funeral procession started streaming by a minute or so after we got to the cache site. Thanks!

Banana Slug Falls

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

Wirebndr and I came up from where we were camped with our families at Half Moon Bay for a hike today. Half Moon Bay was socked in with heavy fog today, but it was beautiful up here. The description and hint was nice since the GPSr was reading about 120 ft at the cache site. Thanks!

DC-6 Resolution Crash Site

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

We also were bothered by mosquitoes at the cache/crash site. A little further up the trail I commented to a biker that this was a tough trail, and he replied that mountain bikers live for single tracks like this. I left Bytemobile turtle #389. Thanks for the nice write-up!

Tree with a "V"

By: geekster Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

We came from Banana Slug Falls, and the GPSr had a poor lock as we passed the cache site with a reading no closer than a couple hundred feet. After turning around and coming from the other direction, the GPSr led us to the cache spot-on. I left Bytemobile turtle #388. Thanks!

Vista Point - Bermuda Triangle

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

Wirebndr and I set out this morning from the Half Moon Bay campground for a hike at El Corte de Madera, and this was the first stop. We had been here before for a previous cache, and didn't have much trouble with this one. Thanks!

Remnants of the Past

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

Wirebndr was ticking off the contour lines as we hiked down to this point. I think he was worried that we would have to hike back up at some point. No problems finding the cache. Thanks!

KinQue's Happy Birthday

By: The Super Cool Losers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

We are camped here through July 4th, with family in three different sites. The weather is surprisingly nice for HMB, although a bit windy. Wirebndr and I hiked over this afternoon and were able to find the cache before resorting to the hint. Thanks!

The Sky's the Limit

By: mjp303 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

We came on a summer weekday, and the entrance station was manned, but Wirebndr claimed to be a senior, and we got in free. We probably had almost as much fun as the Webelos, hiking around and finding caches.

Harbor view

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

Wirebndr and I enjoyed the view of the bay and marina as we made the short hike out here. I left Bytemobile turtle #385. Thanks!

Coyote Point 2

By: Shores Scout Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Wirebndr and I had a nice hike around here, finding the caches and enjoying a nice morning on the bay. I managed to spot this one first. Thanks!

Pirates of the Peninsula

By: Shores Scout Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Wirebndr and I were exploring this park for the first time today. I was a Webelos leader myself for a couple years, and had lots of fun with it. Thanks!

In The Event of a Water Landing...

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

Wirebndr wasn't up for a big hike this morning, so I picked this area for some shorter hikes and views. It was a great day to be out here. Wirebndr made the find fairly quickly. We signed in the last two slots available on the log. Thanks!

Movie: GeoTales, Believe it or Not

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

We are camped at Half Moon Bay through the 4th, along with family in a couple more sites. I checked for new caches since our last visit to HMB, and was happy to see this one. I watched the movie a couple times while I was on the broadband connection at home and got the coordinates. Today, it was a nice little hike from the campground to grab the cache with Wirebndr. I left Bytemobile turtle #387. (I got the turtles at Twice As Nice in HMB.) Thanks!

Coyote Point

By: mjp303 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I read the cache description and hint from my PDA, and Wirebndr and I started scouring the ground for something of interest. It wasn't long before I spotted something worth picking up and examining. This was our first visit to this park, and it was a great day to be here (except the museum is closed on Mondays).

C & H Cache

By: Birds I View (formerly Birdzivew) and StevieD Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

The cache was chock-full of goodies. The two log books were a bit confusing. Usually a second one shows up only after the first one is full, so everyone is signing the second book. I left Bytemobile turtle #386. Thanks!
