Port Of Redwood City Redux: We enjoyed the walk to this cache under the arching tree canopy. Thanks!
Portside: A grey drizzily day, but still a few people working on their boats. TFTC.

Horse Apples: With my GPSr zeroing in a completely illogical spot, and my one-track mind fixated on something smelly, I had to rely on a thoroughly amused lifeline. Okay, now I get it. Very nice.

The City of Visitacion: Not being vertically challenged helped on this cache. Dodging muggles during a bright, sunny lunch-time was another matter. I was determined though, and eventually the deed was done. TFTC.

Bart: Millbrae Station: Not as deserted as I would have liked...this section of the lot appears to be a waiting place for carpoolers, taxis, and limos. I used the car as a shield. TFTC.

C.H.U.D.: Great hide! Thanks for the fun.
Cars and Carrots: I could swear I've found this cache before. I must have forgotten to log it. hmmmm. Well, it's done now.
Doubles Anyone?: A rainy day makes for no play...if you're a tennis player that is. TFTC.
Hanging Out in Las Palmas: I spent a good deal of time with my back to the cache. When I finally turned around, voila! Great container. TFTC.
Mary Washington Cache: Despite the rain, this one was still tough to dodge the muggles. Nice decoy hide! TFTC.
Now That's Funny: Got it. Thanks for the smilie.
Sunnyvale Rough: Nobody around on a rainy morning. Left a TB. TFTC.
Twisted Strands: Nice fresh log! I had to wait for an employee from the lighting store to leave, but that gave me the opportunity to search from the car. I found it while sitting there, which was a first for me!

Thrive: I interrupted Kindergarten Teacher as she was making the find. After flashing my GPSr, we unloaded the cache and signed the log together. Nice to meet you, KT! TFTC.
Bart: South San Fransico Station: I enjoyed the view. Plenty of cars all around, but no one sight, so a quick grab. TFTC.
Bart: San Bruno Station: Plenty of hiding places on this cache. Fortunately, the hide wasn't too evil. I happened to arrive just as a trainful of harried communters were hopping into their cars and racing towards home. Ever seen 20 cars zip past you in a parking garage at about 40mph? I didn't insist on taking my turn. TFTC.

Shoreline Trailhead: I hopped out of the car, and noticed OneAngryPuppy. We chatted for a while, and then I strolled over to the cache area. I eyeballed it, but decided to wait until later since there were a few muggles around. At the end of my hike, things were quiet and I was able to record my find in peace. TFTC.
Birders: Quick find. TFTC.
Sandpipers: Thanks for luring me out on this beautiful trail. I seem to recall a couple of caches out here, but that must have been a long time ago.
Runners: I watched a pheasant scratch around in the brush close to this cache. What a beautiful bird! TFTC.
Pinheads: No ducks in sight, just an occasional jogger. A brief squall blew through while I was on the trail and I got soaked. TFTC.
Charleston Slough: Out this afternoon to find the others along this trail. Stopped to chat with Geekster and Tavahi, who suggested I walk along the trail a little further. Thanks guys! My first pre-approval find, but only third on the log. TFTC.

Ask Your Kids #2: Whew! That's not a game, it's a way of life! I enjoyed the cache location; it was a place quite close to home that I had not noticed before. TFTC.
How Old is Mrs. Gooby?: Recent experience with a Su DoKu puzzle gave me enough confidence to attempt this one. An eraser and a couple of broken pencils later, I had the answer. Thanks!

Four Windows: Emailed the owner with the answer...somehow I'm thinking I won't get a response before it's too late so I am logging it now. My first, last, and only armchair cache. Thanks for the icon.
What's in a hut?: A quadruple quonset hut in San Carlos, CA. It is used by three businesses: An auto body repair shop, a printing company, and a restaurant supply business. BTW, there are dozens of quonset huts in the area north of Whipple and south of Ralston between 101 and El Camino.

Ancient Russian Trailhead: I found myself with a little time to kill before meeting up with a friend to hike down in Portola Redwoods SP. This cache was conveniently placed. Howling winds and stinging rain today. No fun.
The Summit: Our objective was to hike up the Slate Creek trail, and even though we were determined to have a good time, the weather wasn't cooperating. Man was it ever wet and windy. So we cut our hike short, and looped around on the Summit trail. Still, a miserable day hiking beats a good day doing plenty of other stuff. TFTC.
Below the Summit: A quick find on our way back to the car, beaten into submission by Old Man Winter. Thanks!

Alice's Restaurant: I found it after a short search. Although the skies were clearing today, recent storms had done their work, as the log was soaked. I carefully opened it up and spread it out, but it was too wet to sign. After all of this, I looked up and realized that a couple was eating their lunch directly across from me. Fortunately they were oblivious: her with a book, him hunkered down over a bowl of soup. If he'd gotten his mouth any closer to that bowl, the spoon wouldn't have been necessary. TFTC.
Coyote's Corner: Pretty wet and windy today. Chatted a bit with the same fellow OGBO met and photographed a few weeks ago. Funny how he seemed to expect me to follow him, and then looked disappointed when I eventually turned back. Plenty of evidence of coyotes: every few feet along the trail I'd see the ground squirrel burrows dug up and fresh dirt scattered about. First of several in a nice looping trail. TFTC.
Russian Runoff: More like Russian cascade or Russian Torrent today. I loved the sound of water tumbling rapidly down the hill. TFTC.
Ancient Oaks: I found this cache on a cold, windy, and rainy day. Beautiful trees! TFTC.
The Fabulous Furry Fir: Beautiful trees and a wonderful area. TFTC.
Bobwire Bobcat: Quick find while climbing the ridgeline. After climbing out of the trees, I followed a trail into the fog. Suddenly, it sounded like an airplane was bearing down on me. It must have been quite a ways above, but without the benefit of sight it seemed like a crash was coming for sure. Scary!
Eddie the 1st Returns: Nice hike; great view. TFTC.
Skyline Ridge View: Nice loop. I saw several spots for more caches, and am marking them down on the to do list! Thanks!
SROSP Trailhead cache: The cache container nearly burned a hole in my retinas...after I finally oriented myself in the right direction. That took 10 minutes. TFTC.
LR10: Driving by...couldn't resist one so close. Thanks for the smilie.
Meet at the Crossroads: I've seen a similar hide up further north. Slipped my find between a guy just finishing lunch and a guy pulling up with an overheated engine. TFTC.
PMAX - Page Mill Animal Exchange: I've been by quite a few times, but never stopped. The views under clearing skies were great...then I dove down to business. TFTC.
Foothils OSP Gateway: Thanks for the quickie.
Middle of the Street: I'll bet the cache gets more visitors than the payphone. TFTC.

Silas started it all: 18 hours from Seattle to Los Angeles?!? Flight attendants with nursing degrees!?! Air travel has come a long way, baby. Thanks for the facts and the stroll.
Quest for the Masks: Le-Wahi: Strolled up and was looking in the wrong spot when I heard a hoarse voice shouting, 'It's in the [redacted].' So I chatted for a while with WalruZ and BuckyDef. Geobaby was there too. After that, I found the cache right where WalruZ told me it was. Duh, how did I miss that? TFTC.
Quest for the Masks: Po-Wahi: I felt like someone was watching me from the windows, but resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at them. Collected a TB. TFTC.
Quest for the Masks: Thanks for a very enjoyable series! It was great to re-walk the RWS levee trails and get rewarded with smilies for it. I have to confess that I knew where the final cache was hidden and snagged it before finishing off the rest of the series. Call it home cooking. Great job!
