See Planes in Alameda, v.5

By: bthomas Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. We found the cache, but discovered that the radio had already been tuned to the proper frequency. This allowed us to access the flight data recorder a bit quicker than intended. The next finders will have to tune the radio for themselves as intended. TFTC.

Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. Beautiful office complex! A broken sprinkler head was spewing water all over the place and there was a flood in the grass and sidewalks close to the cache. We found a way in without getting our shoes wet though. TFTC.



At the Mill

Cop Food

By: adriennesc Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. I was prone in the dirt on the wrong side of the bush when vaccine announced the find. That BBQ restaurant looks pretty good too. TFTC.



Bunny Town

By: c.jones Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. Yup plenty of bunnies snoozing in the warm sun. Pretty cushy life. TFTC.



Wash

By: Samshipmate Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. The recruiter and the recruitee were deep in discussion across the way so we went right ahead. I guess you don't actually have to step into their office to get the pitch. TFTC.



Under New Management!

By: gcherry Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. Our first of two encounters with this type of cache today! My only difficulty was lining things up in the wrong column. Thanks for the fun hide.



Broken Barge

By: adriennesc Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. The barge is gone, the people are gone, the buildings are going. The soccer field is here, as are the no trespassing signs. TFTC.

A Notion of Falseness

By: CoolCache Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. Eeewww! vaccine entertained me with his story of a similarly themed cache next to a medical clinic in Fresno. That one took a lot of nerve to open too! TFTC.



Have a Snack!

By: gcherry Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. His car was too short to really provide any cover, but a little shooting the breeze while he had a smoke was good enough. TFTC.



TA's #300: MythBusted

By: TeamAlamo Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. Although vaccine made the find, I knew right where to search. I was there for about 5 minutes when he came up, reached over my shoulder, and made the find. TFTC.



Captain's Corner

By: ktshmatey Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. For about 10 minutes we insisted on searching everywhere but where the cache was actually located, and refused to understand the hint. Eventually things sunk in though. TFTC.



Joe & Miranda's Wedding Cache

By: LadyEsquire, DoctorRAM & Guppymoo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Rip Rap Reprised

By: Kilroy Gang Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Out with vaccine for a day of caching on Alameda. After a bit of a search we found a much larger cache than we were expecting. Since the log was blank, we assumed that the owner has replaced it recently. Thanks! We also observed that the hint and the coordinates don't match. TFTC.



Healing View

By: CoolCache Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
