All Alone Here

By: caskethead & vcgirl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

This trail really winds around. You just have to be patient and it eventually goes by the cache. The cache was almost buried in leaves. Just enough of it was exposed for me to spot it. Thanks!

Don't Stop Believin'

Today was a clear day, and there was a spectacular view. Thanks!

Trailside Hanger

By: Soquel1930 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

This was my second cache of the morning. I decided to head out toward the ocean first, then would head up a trail on the other side of Highway 1 later. I signed the log in the last blank spot. This cache could use a new log. Thanks!

Beth, I Hear You Callin'

By: RockZen and KISSin' Cow Pie Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

Well, no Beth wasn't calling. I checked my phone for any desperate messages since her yarn shop was having a big sale today. No messages. Thanks!

The back forty.

The angle of the morning sunlight was doing me no favors, but the coordinates were good and a little looking soon yielded the cache. Thanks!

This cache was nearest to where I parked at Wilder State Park, and I found it just after 8 am. Today was a big sale day at my wife's yarn shop so I had a free day, with no one to supervise. I wanted to go for at least a half-day hike, and this spot along the coast was a good choice. The weather was perfect, the sky was blue, and the ocean was calm. An older guy on a bike passed me and said "another day in paradise!"

I'll Say Goodbye to Love

This was a quick find, sign, and I was on my way. I appreciate a few straight-forward caches when I am out for a long hike. Thanks!

Steven's Bday Cache

This was a little off my planned loop route, but it looked like I would have plenty of time. My legs just needed to hold out. Thanks!

I'm As Free As A Bird Now

By: DarkRockStar and Evil GrouPie Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

I have my hiking sticks to keep me upright in steep situations, but slipperiness of the ground surprised me and I ended up on my butt. No harm done and I soon spied the hiding spot. Thanks!

Weathertop

My GPSr batteries gave out just before I reached the cache, but I continued and found the cache with no problem. I dug a couple new batteries from my pack, and I was soon in business for the next one. Thanks!

At the Foot Of The Stairs

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

I usually don't like to spend much time searching when I am out for a long hike. I read the previous finder's log, and it inspired me to have that one more look. The cache had a bottle of bubble making liquid in it with a cap that was not screwed on well. The log and other cache contents were soaked, probably from the bubble bottle. I managed to sign the waterlogged cache. Thanks!

Wilder Oaks

By: caskethead & vcgirl Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

I read the cache name and from the trail, I spotted the area where the cache must be. No problems spotting it. It must be my lucky day. Thanks!

Monterey: so close, yet so far

By: Soquel1930 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

I was surprised by how many runners were out on the trail this morning. If I lived nearby, it would certainly be a favorite area for me to bike and hike. Good coordinates. Thanks!

Disingenuous Toad

By: Evil LOLFrog Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

The hint is incorrect in one respect, but the coordinates are perfect. I turned around here and headed back up the hill.

Bobtail Bobcat

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

I saw a couple bunnies, a hawk, an egret, some quail, and a couple brown pelicans on my hike today. Thanks!
