Geocaching

Middlebury Land Trust

4:37 pm - This was another cool new place to explore. I missed the turn a few times and had to keep doing uturns. The was lots of traffic as well, so crossing the road was tricky. It was crisp and cold out, so we moved quickly before it got dark. We found the cache easily. We rescued the Divit Head TB. Thanks!

Where is the Watertown Green

4:12 pm - Parked really close then found it really quickly. It could probably use some help though; the tape is coming off. Thanks!

Poor Richard

3:00 pm - We were on our way to the train station. Since this one was just across the street we stopped for a quick grab. It took a few minutes for us to find it, and meanwhile we almost got a ticket from the meter maid. We got out and made the train in time. Thanks.

Black Rock Dam

2:32 pm - We thought we could get here from Black Rock Cache. We got within a few hundred feet and then realized it wasn't possible. We walked back to the car, then drove to the right spot. Yeah, we REALLY couldn't get there from that side! We spent some time clearing snow, then found it exposed. I've never seen that kind of container before so it took a little while to figure out how to open it. Thanks!

Black Rock Cache

1:21 pm - We had a nice family walk out to this one. I could have kept on the trail, but I ended up taking the hard way up. Nicely hidden. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Not a Deer

I'd appreciate it if the next cacher could post the coordinates they found the cache at. I averaged the coords for several minutes on my Garmin 60cs. The cache is not under any rocks. It's at least 4 feet off the ground and you don't need to leave the trail. Thanks!

Big Bear

2:50 pm - This was a really cool spot to visit. We took the steep way up since the gate was locked. Lots of cool statues to visit and I think we did the entire loop. The view from the top near the cell tower was great. This cache would make an even better multi, using several of the statues as waypoints. TNLNSL. Thanks!

The Tube

3:30 pm - Uhh, nice camo?? I just didn't know what I was looking for and then I came across it. Funny. I'm glad I had a flashlight on me. The log is full now. Thanks!

Sunnyvale Rough

5 pm - I decided to see if I could make this the third cache of the day I found without a GPS. When I got close I left the GPS in the car. Found it! I've been meaning to check this place out. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Just Half a Trail

4:40 pm - As I drove up, I noticed someone crouched by the bushes in a suspicious position. I parked right next to the cache just as he finished up. He tried to walk casually away, but then I asked him if it was an easy one and the game was up. It was GeekDad. I didn't even bother with my GPSr, just searched where I saw him standing and found it in no-time. Signed half my name. Thanks!

Coffee Anyone

4:20 pm - Yeah, that was busy. Worse was trying to find a place to park around here. I had the right idea, then consulted the hint and found it. Thanks.

The End of the Line

5:19 pm - I wanted to make this one quick because there was a creepy guy hanging around and Anne was still in the car. Thankfully I found it quickly as it got dark. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Mofreekin Cache of the Day!

5:02 pm - I searched for this one a bit, took a break to watch the sunset, then we seached some more. Didn't find it. The coords put me at some iceplant, but I didn't see anything poking around in there.

The Lost Village of Purissima

4:26 pm - This was a cute little village, especially the general store. We stopped quickly to grab the cache and headed on south. Thanks!

Journey to the Moon

4:06 pm - We made a quick stop at the moon after a long bike ride today. I found the cache quickly. Thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls

3:50 pm - Wow, this was a lot of fun. We had a great bike ride up and down the coast. The weather was perfect and we found plenty of caches along the way. It didn't take too long to find the final. TNLNSL. Thanks a lot!

flower childs peace corp

3:24 pm - This certainly was a tough one. Since I wasn't sure where it was, I spent a lot of time climbing around the creek. Eventually I got some good coordinates and found it very close to the zero point. I searched for a half hour at least before that and I was dirty and exhausted. TNLNSL. Phew!

Maverick's Bluff

2:18 pm - The last time we were in this area I tried to solve this one on the fly. I couldn't do it, so I solved it later with some help from the owner. Today we continued our bike ride up to this familiar area and enjoyed the view. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls: Fishtrap

1:56 pm - This one took a while because I had to download the pictures and then wait out some muggles who were sitting just above the cache and staring at me. I found my moment to grab it and got the final clues. Phew! I thought I may have missed one along the way. Thanks!

This Stop: Princeton!

1:39 pm - First we dodged traffic on our bikes. Second we navigated around the police cruiser that had just pulled someone over. Third we had to grab the cache carefully while there were some people parked 20 feet away. We got all that done though and found the cache OK. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls: Man Overboard

1:29 pm - I left my bike by the trail and then headed down to find the cache, which I found right away. I had a lucky day I guess. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls: Marguerite's Margaritas

1:15 pm - It's a good think I thought to look under the lid - I was afraid that I would miss one of the clues. This one was a nice break on a long bike ride. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Tsunami Rangers

1:07 pm - I had to call a lifeline on this one. There were people all about and I just didn't see it. Cool house, thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls: Beckoning

12:41 pm - Hmm, my memory is failing me on which cache this was, but I'm sure I enjoyed it! Thanks!

Beyond The End

12:22 pm - Huh, I thought this was some kind of artillery mount, not a barn. I surprisingly found this one in the first place I looked! Thanks.

This Stop: Arleta!

12:13 pm - We found this one on a short break from the Blue Pearl series. Cute little station. The cache container has become unglued from the camo. Thanks.

Legend of the Blue Pearls: Lost Souls

11:53 am - This one was pretty close to the first one, but it sure helped to make sure we were heading the right way toward the trail. Quick find. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Legend of the Blue Pearls: The Beginning

11:47 am - We've been looking forward to doing this series for a while and today we finally got ourselves organized ahead of time enough to do it. We got our bikes together and found the first stage alright. Thanks!

Its Spring

11:25 am - My first pass at looking for the cache failed, so I went to the hint, hoping for at least a description of the container. It was completely unhelpful. I'm glad I didn't have to decode it manually.

Found it on my second pass. Thanks.

Should This Be Klimbed?

And the verdict is... I got poison oak! Woo hoo. Just a little on my legs.

Out To Lunch

5:43 pm - Missed MotorBug by only a few minutes. I tried this one earlier in the day but it was just too busy. It was less crowded near closing time and it was easier to search when it was dark. The position in which I had to myself in relationship to the statue would have seemed "inappropriate" at best, so I'm glad I was able to find a quick break in traffic to search for it. Thanks.

FORE!!!!!!

5:14 pm - Cute little container. I found it quickly in the deserted park after dark. I remember a Ninja cache near here once that DNF'd a few times. Thanks!

Should This Be Klimbed?

5:10 pm - I wasn't planning on this one for today, but I realized it was very close to FORE, so I figured I would hit it first, before it got too dark. I climbed quickly, then noticed the cache was off to my left. Krap. Down a gully I went, along some trails that disappeared, up a cliff, through some PO and to the cache I went. I found the cache easily once I got to the right spot. TNLNSL.

After that trip I thought there must be a better way back going up. Those trails vanished pretty quickly and it became more bushwacking. Finally I reached the top and the trail. I'm sure there's an easier way here, but I didn't find one!

And yes, budd-rdc, I was wearing shorts!

Thanks.

On Hold

4:50 pm - Solved the puzzle a while ago. Strange stuff. Today this cache came at just the right time. I needed gas and particularly this brand. I started to fill 'er up, went over to grab the cache and sign the log and by the time I got back it had finished. How convenient! Thanks.

Cupertino City Hall, 1950s Edition

4:42 pm - I didn't even have time to look up the description on this one - the cache was right there! TNLNSL. Thanks.

The Apple Tree

4:30 pm - I parked right nearby for this one and headed for the cache. You got your trees wrong, but I think you know that.

This made me curious though - don't you work for the OTHER guy, stbk? What are you doing way over here? Maybe that's why all these windows are tinted!

TFTC!

Raymor Park Dragons

4:14 pm - As I rolled up I noticed a familiar vehicle parked there belonging to digitalfish, whom I had been chasing all afternoon. I looked over to see them sitting there with Marky and Joani. It was a mini-event! We chatted for a while and then I decided it was time to grab the cache. One of the fishes grabbed and and we signed in. I even got a few cache containers from Marky out of the deal. Cool! TFTC.

Ivy meets wood

3:26 pm - This one blended in well, but I'm not sure if it will handle getting wet. We shall see I guess. Thanks!

Somewhere .....

3:12 pm - For once, a catomcat cache that I found right away! If only that was the whole challenge. I tried a bunch of numbers I found around, but nothing worked, so I started the brute force attempt. It worked before my fingers got too tired. Later I ran into some other cachers who told me where they thought the numbers came from but I sure didn't see them. Oh well. Thanks.

Doubles Anyone?

2:53 pm - This was one loud place. On one side there were some gas-powered RC cars roaring around the dry fountain. On the other side was what appared to be wild parrots in the trees. I walked past and found the cache easily and muggle-free. Thanks!

What, No Spinach?

2:48 pm - The number of errors I made on this one was just embarassing. I guessed what the name of the place was from the description and considered doing the calculations with visiting first, but it turns out there's some subtlety in the name that I probably would have missed.

I caught a quick glimpse of the name and did the math from across the street. I was actually pretty close on my first try and even checked the right area, but somehow missed it. I went over to the establishment again, redid my calculations while still making a bunch of errors and I ended up with some coordinates close to where I initially searched. The coordinates were closer now though and I found it right there. This stuff must be really bad for you, but it sure tastes good. Thanks!

A Hard One

5:00 pm - Nah, it wasn't hard at all. Well it is in THAT way, but found it easily. Thanks!

Where They Go at Night

4:50 pm - This place was a little creepy, in the way clowns can be creepy. I found the cache, but then noticed some other folks coming towards me that looked like Geocachers. I let them approach and find the cache for themselves. They signed the log as Bunkers, I signed and then we headed off. Thanks!

Townsend Fore

4:38 pm - This is probably well-concealed many times of the year, but with all the leaves gone, it was very exposed today. That made it quick grab and sign. Thanks.

Flying Solo V.P.

4:30 pm - I parked right across the street and that made for a quick grab on this one. Thanks.

Station 19

4:23 pm - I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to be driving over here, but it looked OK. I started walking towards the station, but then I noticed my GPSr was pointing back towards the car. Quick find after that. This is a heavy-duty container for sure! TNLNSL. Thanks!

The Age of Aquarius

4:16 pm - This is is just kinda out there, huh? Found it quickly and headed on. Thanks.

Calle Oriente Park

3:58 pm - I overshot on the parking, but the cache was a quick grab once I walked over. Thanks.

hey look.. a rock

3:51 pm - Yes, I really can believe that a large, non-indiginous boulder rolled down the hill and landed right here. Hey, why is it buzzing? Found it OK and TNLNSL. Thanks!

what sound - search for squints #1

3:42 pm - I don't think I would have ever figured out that this place existed without the hint. Weird spot! I found it right away once I got there. Thanks!

Jumps & Shaun.... All Gone...

3:34 pm - I felt the cache quickly, but I had some trouble getting the cache out. It went back in easily once I turned it around, so I'm not sure why my brainblock was today. Thanks!

in the middle of everything

3:20 pm - The hint was helpful today and I found it right away. Nice hide! Thanks.

chess is the key...

3:13 pm - This was a really quick one with a convenient place to sit to sign the log! Thanks.

The way before the Bridges...

3:13 pm - No cops around today so I found this without any trouble. TNLNSL. Thanks!

Hanging On

2:56 pm - I searched a while before I decided to call a lifeline. That confirmed I was looking in the right general area. From a distance I saw something on the ground. Once I relocated it again, I found the cache. It looks like it fell from wherever it was hanging. I put it up from where I found it, though I couldn't find the other half of the attachment device. Thanks.

High Silver

2:22 pm - I expeceted nothing else from the title. I found it right away and TNLNSL. Thanks.

Village Research

2:15 pm - I waited for a muggles to pass and then crossed the street twice. I didn't suspect it would be there. TNLNSL. Thanks.

Stroller Friendly #2: A Great Oak

2:03 pm - I tried this one earlier in the day but it was full of kids and parents and I thought it was in the playset. I came back later in the day and there were far fewer people around. In the dark I found it well away from the kids and slides. On the way out I saw a jackrabbit hop away. TFTC!

SC Fire Agnew Rivermark

1:55 pm - I parked a little ways a way and walked over. Found it quickly. Thanks.

West Pole

1:42 pm - I'm not sure what was wrong with me here, but I checked all the wrong places first. Once I got myself in the right spot, the title was all I needed. Thanks.
