MuckrakerBy: geovirus Difficulty: 4.5 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Small
Motorbug and I had a lot of fun with this cache. Although his 'tool' was a bit floppy, I did manage to dislodge the cache from its perch. Unfortunately, retreiving it from the mud proved another matter entirely. At that point, I think desperation was fueling my efforts. After about 20 minutes, I somehow managed to hook the cache before it sunk into the ooze and disappeared forever. Yes, victory! Thanks for a fun challenge.
S4CZ #5: high voltageBy: cooperphoto Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 5.0 Container: Not chosen
Fantastic views from this cache! doogelah was kind enough to meet us at the trail head and supply some necessary safety equipment. Motorbug scrambled up like a mountain goat. My job was schlepping the ladder up the hill and recording the event for posterity. Fun!
East County Trail The Pitts AdjustedBy: joeysdad Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
I had trouble navigating to this cache, and we ended up touring the automobile dealership. If I'd known how quickly Motorbug was going to find it, I wouldn't have worried too much about parking in their driveway. Cute little hide!
Bart: North Concord/Martinez StationBy: Blanston12 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
The rain was coming down pretty hard during our walk to this cache. Revealing it turned out to be especially noisy, and I wondered if the neighbors had ever noticed that strange sound (well, not to cachers!) TFTC.
Hwy 37E Quickie #2 - Across from InfineonBy: Binky del Mar Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
Motorbug and I bagged a few quads today. It was the first time for me on this road. Thanks for laying the bait!
Hwy 37W Quickie #3 - Weigh InBy: Binky del Mar Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
Although we were in and out uneventfully, another fellow wasn't so lucky, and his truck was being loaded on a tow truck. TFTC.
Hwy 37E Quickie #1 - Sonoma MarinaBy: Binky del Mar Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
This was the first cache on our trip across the top of the Bay Area quadrangle challenge. Thanks!
Hwy 37E Quickie #4 - Mare IslandBy: Binky del Mar Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
Motorbug filled my in on a bit of the history of the area. Lots of old memories floating around on the breeze here. TFTC!
Will the Real Cache Please Stand Up?By: J5 Crew Difficulty: 4.5 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Micro
Motorbug and I searched. Then we searched some more. About a dozen decoys in olive drab and even one stray white film can mocked us, but the gold we sought was not giving up its secret. A lifeline gave us encouragement, and then Motorbug had a really brilliant thought. No, I'm not telling what it was, but suffice it to say that I had the cache in hand about two minutes later. Truely evil, and a stroke of cache hiding genius. Thanks for the cache! mjp303
BLIND MAN'S BLUFFBy: DIN & LEAN Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small
We should have trusted the GPSr right from the start...either that or stop peeking at the hints too soon. [;)] TFTC.
That Tam SunsetBy: andleis Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small
Motorbug and I got a kick out of the 'road'. After being loudly greeted by the cache gaurdian (who was fortunately behind a fence) we strolled over to an easy find. Unfortunately, grey skies and rain mean no beautiful sunset today. Still, a very pleasant view. TFTC.
aladino's cacheBy: Cal78 & Fan5 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
Some maintainance work very closeby had knocked the cache onto the ground, but fortunately we were able to find it. After signing the log, we restored the container to its proper spot. Thanks.
One Old TreeBy: fan5 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
Somehow we missed the main gate (which was still open) and ended up parking across the street. Walking to the cache allowed us to see some interesting old grave markers though.
Lafayette History LessonBy: Blue Blaze Irregulars Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
After searching in some prickly spots, Motorbug had an 'ahah' and the find was ours. Thanks for the tour of Lafayette! mjp303
Travel Bug OlympicsBy: mcl768 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular
Thanks for the nice large cache. I dropped a couple of travel bugs that were getting far too comfortable in my cache bag.
The Back CrackerBy: Lithiumtech Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
Motorbug and I struggled with this one. The GPSr was bouncing all over under those trees, but we eventually checked all the likely spots and came up with it.
JelliesBy: DavidT21 & Fisherwoman Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
After failing to get to this cache from the wrong side of the fence, we eventually worked our way back through the office park. Following the muddy footprints to the cache made quick work of it. Afterwards, we made a stop for bellyflops and headed out. TFTC.
