The Case of the Lazy Cache #3

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

Not many folks were on this trail today, but I did see someone from a distance hanging out near the cache site. Nobody was around when I got there. Thanks!

Have A Ball!

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

The trail back here looked like more than an animal trail, but it seemed to stop at a flat spot where you could pitch a tent. Thanks!

The Case of the Lazy Cache #2

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

I didn't spot this one right away, but the coordinates were great and I just had to look closer. Thanks!

A Stump With Character

I was parked at the Hacienda entrance, so I made this my turn around point and started making my way back. Thanks!

We are staying at the Residence Inn for a week until our new house is ready for move-in. I don't have a lot to do besides geocaching, so here goes... Thanks!

A Simple Cache #1

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

I got a late start this morning and there were already lots of people on the trail, especially bikers. Thanks!

Fortunately, I was alone here to look for the cache. There have been lots of folks out on the trails today. Thanks!

Peace, Quiet, and Rest

I had just signed, replaced the cache, and started down the trail when I met ChucklesDA headed up the trail. It was a great day for hiking and lots of folks were out. Thanks!

I took a quick look for this one (on the wrong side of the trail), then let some hikers and bikers pass. One little girl let out a short scream as she tumbled from bike (at slow speed, headed up the hill). Found the cache after the traffic cleared. Thanks!

Hanging Out with the Dead

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I had a little trouble with this one, but after re-reading the cache title and looking around a bit, I came up with it. Thanks!

Are we at the top yet?

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

I skipped this a couple weeks ago hiking with my son. The coordinates seem to be a bit off, and I thought it must be on the other trail. Today, I had plenty of time, and after poking around for a bit finally spotted it. Thanks!

Hand Safety - Cut Resistant Gloves

By: Beyond Safety Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I was out today for maintenance on my own caches. The PQ in my GPSr was a couple miles short of this area, but I remembered seeing this one on a map before I headed out. No problem spotting it. Thanks!

Yet Another Lamp Post Cache

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

I was out today for maintenance on my own caches and unfortunately the PQ in my GPSr was a few miles short of this area. I remembered that there was a new cache here where I found one before, so I hiked down here and came across it fairly quickly once the memory cells started working. Thanks!

Hand Safety - Just Don't Slip, Trip, or Fall

By: Beyond Safety Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

This is the second cache I found today based on my memory rather that my GPSr. I believe Motorbug used to have a cache near here. Thanks!

Bison in the No View Bay

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I have hiked this trail two or three times in the past, but never before with this many geocaches. Thanks!

A Big Rock In the Field

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

My son came down from Oakland for a hike today. The parking lot was surprisingly full at the start of our hike. No problem finding the cache. It was in plain sight. Thanks!

Great Beastern inActivity

By: Great Beastern Apparatus Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

We made this our turn-around point after coming up Deep Gulch. We had to examine a couple spots, but my son came up with the cache after a short search. Thanks!

It Might Have Been Magnetic!

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

We were initially stumped, but my son spotted a pencil on the ground, then the cache nearby. Thanks!

A Rock, A Log, A Cache

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

Two of the items mentioned in the title are quite common, and we looked at the wrong one first, but my son came up with the third item in the title. Thanks!

Moved - No Longer At the Root

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

This one was spotted in plain sight after some careful scanning of the landscape. Thanks!

Clinging!

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

We just left this one attached while I opened and signed. Thanks!

I've Seen Deeper!

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

I found the cache before finding the item in the hint. Thanks!

The Case of the Lazy Cache #1

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

This was a quick find after reading the hints. It was our last cache of the day. Thanks!

Peaceful and Quiet Trail Cache

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

This cache is a new addition since my last hike of this trail a few years ago. Thanks for the incentive!

Where the trails meet, almost.

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

We passed this on the way up, and came by on the way down. I sat down to sign the log and probably lost a water bottle out of my pack here, a souvenir from Hawaii.

The Case of the Sleeping Trailside Cache

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

We found this on about the third pass. We knew it to be there somewhere, and the coordinates were quite good. Thanks!
