Tennis Anyone? (Traditional Cache) 9:11p #71 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. That was a toughie. I think we were all getting pretty tired though. Relieved to make a find, we limped back to the car. mjp303
Not Under the Bridge (Traditional Cache) 8:37p #70 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. This cache gave us a lot of laughs.

Don Salvio Pacheco Adobe (Traditional Cache) 5:35p #52 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. I think we actually scared a lady away: She came around the corner to use the ATM while we were searching, slowed, thought better of it, and drove away without getting any cash. I can't blame her; I probably would have done the same thing. mjp303
Up in Downtown (Traditional Cache) 5:27p #51 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. After we spotted the cache, vaccine brought the car around to shield the grab. A classic parking ramp maneuver. TFTC. mjp303

Not Another Ivy Hide (Traditional Cache) 2:48p #40 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. Dogs barking, people talking in their backyards or working in their garages, and us, trying to look like we belong. Just a random slice of suburbia. BTW, how in the world did those guard rails get there? mjp303
Fountain of Ute (Traditional Cache) 2:31p #39 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. With 3 of us the searching was faster. Trying to be inconspicuous, I got startled by a pair of golf carts playing NASCAR. TFTC. mjp303

Actually I found it, but I needed Con2W to figure out how to open it. vaccine wouldn't know that though 'cuz that clue had him searching way too high. You should probably replace the cache container since it really is being held together by duct tape. Thanks for a fun one. mjp303
Pot Belly Pig (Traditional Cache) 1:15p #31 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. I liked the name of the road this cache was on. Thanks for the smilie. mjp303

Pole Cache (Traditional Cache) 11:22a #19 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. More concrete than nature here, but evidently still popular with the locals. mjp303

Filler up (Traditional Cache) 9:46a #11 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. This was a cool spot, and we really enjoyed examining the pumps. Evidently the oldest one (up next to the building) is from 1915. Very cool. We did attract the attention of an employee, who came out to ask what we were doing. Evidently there's been a lot of vandalism. We explained things and showed him the cache since he was unaware of it or if permission had been obtained to place it. You may want to do more to make sure everyone who works there knows what's going on. TFTC! mjp303
Cardiac Canyon (Traditional Cache) 9:42a #10 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. Once again a completely full parking lot, and at least a dozen large SUVs circling anxiously. Eventually we go it. mjp303
Arn Haws Pa King (Traditional Cache) 9:24a #9 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. They call that a parking lot? Pathetic. Even on a frigid morning it was full, so vaccine double parked while Con2W and I made the dash and grab. TFTC. mjp303
Iron Horse Trail (IH1) (Traditional Cache) 9:16a #8 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. We waited in the car while Con2W fetched it. The guy's cache sense is amazing! mjp303
Log this cache (Traditional Cache) 9:10a #7 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. A quick find with only moderate muggle traffic. It sounds like this trail gets a lot busier. I'm glad we didn't have to deal with that. TFTC. mjp303

Limit warning (Traditional Cache) 8:35a #4 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. Even though it was in the 30's this morning, we had to dodge quite a few muggles enjoying the trail. Since vacccine had played that podcacher song in the car it was no trouble!
mjp303Rock Your World (Traditional Cache) 8:26a #3 of 73 on a East Bay marathon with vaccine and Crazyon2Wheels. I chose correctly. What's my prize? Oh, that's right, a smilie. TFTC. mjp303
