2 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. I enjoyed finding the boat and reading about it's history. Probably not a National Treasure, but definitely A Local One. TFTC.

3 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Lots of folks about on a Saturday morning made us a bit uncomfortable, but since we were there by invitation, we persisted until the find was ours. TFTC.



Pleasure Point

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


4 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. The spot was crawling with surfers and watchers. The waves were still pretty small, but based upon the number of boards in the water, I think they were expecting things to get interesting. This cache was a first for me: I retrieved and replaced it with a muggle less than 2' away. [:O] TFTC.



The End

5 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Nice hide on a great beach. Several people touched the wall and headed back in the short time we were there. It was amusing to read about it on the cache page and then almost immediately see it happen. TFTC.

6 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Another great little hide. We put our hands on it several times before realizing what it really was! TFTC.

7 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. We got in to find this cache before the guests arrived for a wedding reception. There were plenty of people getting it set up though. I ran afoul of some stinging nettle near this cache, and it tingled for the rest of the day. Nasty stuff! TFTC.

9 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. I liked the black plastic decon container. I've never seen one of those before. After finding the cache we went in the store, but they didn't have any for sale. In fact, the guy behind the counter made quite a face when I asked him about them. TFTC.



To the Overlook

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


10 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. We spent a while searching the wrong structure, but made a quick find after refocusing our efforts. TFTC.

Hoo Hoo

By: Koolrat & Kitten Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


19 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Nothing coming down the line so we took a risk to search in a normally out of bounds area. A first for me! TFTC.



On The Way To No Where!

By: Koolrat Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


20 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Several cars passed by as we were finishing up on this cache, and they seemed startled to see us. TFTC.



Lapis Junction

By: Koolrat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


21 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Coordinates seemed to have us zeroing a ways off from the cache, but we expanded the search and made a quick find. TFTC.



Bingo!

By: Hidey Hunter Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


22 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. A nice little hide that reminded me of one of geekster's caches. I struggled mightily with that one, but today it was a quick find. TFTC.

Tracks Out Of Service

By: cachecrashers Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


25 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. I should have known this was hidden by someone from the Bay Area. It really had us going for quite a while. Great hide. TFTC.



Mt. Olympus

By: wendycat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


26 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. We thought this cache was going to be more of a hike than it turned out to be. TFTC.



Monterey Boardwalk

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


27 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. The restored dune habitat is very pretty. Thanks for showing us this spot. TFTC.



Del Monte Express

By: Koolrat Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


28 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Great camouflage. We trusted the GPSr, and were rewarded. TFTC.



The Old Tracks

By: armyrotc1 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


30 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. We didn't use any of your helpful cache page instructions, but still managed to find the cache anyhow. Any evidence of a railroad or depot seems to be obliterated. TFTC.



Munras #1

By: #1 geobears Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


31 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Creative camouflage! TFTC.

An excuse not to do your home work

By: monkeynuts16 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


34 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. What does the cache title have to do with the location or the hide? Oh, wait...you built that camouflage instead of doing your homework? Well, now it's summer vacation. No excuses: Get busy and build us some more! Nicely done. TFTC.



Private without Rank: The Recruiting Station

By: C Major and C Minor Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


35 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. A quick search at ground zero didn't turn up the cache, so we resorted to hint 1. Could the cache really be that far away, we wondered? Well, he does mention using GE to set the coordinates...hmmmm. Needless to say, we were back and forth before we eventually found it. TFTC.



Goodie Goodie Gumdrop

By: TheDeviousMaxPower Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


36 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. Well, over the past year, the landscapers have kept this cache in theme. The hide is holding up well, too. I have to say that finders haven't been kind to it though. There's absolutely nothing in the can except a tattered cache page print-out that's being used as a log. I wish I'd had some things to spruce it up with. TFTC.



wbp

By: Ashelin Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


37 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. A nice little park. We met a friendly little dog. SS wanted to climb over the fence to get some berries until geekster pointed out that he was about to step into the PO. TFTC.



The EEEEWWWW Lagoon

By: The Saints Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


38 of 38. A cache run along the Monterey Bay coastline with geekster and Shores Scout. I know, this one's not on the Monterey Bay coast, but I needed it for the Davenport quad on the BAQC, we went home to the peninsula along 1 instead of 17, 85 & 280. A much nicer choice, IMO. Nothing smelly today with a stiff on-shore breeze. After an entire day of overcast sky, the sun finally peaked out for a brief visit. TFTC.
