El Sombroso JunctionBy: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. It is a neverending source of irritation to me that I had to hike 6 miles to get to this cache along a road that I could have very easily driven in my Jeep. [;)] TFTC.
Sweet Sounds Of WaterBy: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Small
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. The wind in the trees and the water falling over the rocks made a very relaxing sound. Thanks for giving us a reason to pause and enjoy it! TFTC.
Holed Up ThereBy: CKayaks Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Micro
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. I'm not sure why the cache was so wet since the top was capped securely. Perhaps the hiding spot had filled with water during recent rains? TFTC.
Five Finger DiscountBy: Mystery Ink Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. A quick stop on our way up the mountain. TFTC.
Tram LinesBy: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. The wind was whistling through the power lines and making a very unusal sound. TFTC.
Snake AlertBy: CKayaks Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. After circling around, this was a quick find. TFTC.
Sierra Azul TraderBy: Tonton-Ca Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. We stopped for this one on the way back down. It about killed me to climb the last 100'. TFTC.
Sombroso SpurBy: pedaler Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. Of course, this was the objective. She was a great sport to come with me a second time, having visited a month or so earlier with a GBA deathmarch group starting from Lexington Reservoir. Wisely she waited by the trail while I made the final push. Rain earlier in the day meant that I was soaked after finishing my wade through the bushes, but I perservered and now the box on my Fizzy Matrix is checked! TFTC.
Woods CacheBy: Marky & Joani Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular
Out with airsax for a challenging hike to El Sombroso on a cool and windy day. In the 4+ years since the cache was placed, the PO situation has changed considerably. There's pleny of brand new sprigs poking up. I liked the hiding spot. TFTC.

Zeile Creek EntranceBy: WalruZ Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
Out for a hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. Thanks for providing the bread crumbs that lead me here! TFTC.
Creek ViewBy: CompuCash Difficulty: 3.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. A quick find, probably because we'd gotten used to the hiding style on previous caches. TFTC.
WWicky #5By: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. Love these steep hills green with new grass...the fresh PO sprigs, not so much. TFTC.
WWicky #4By: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.5 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular
Out for a hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. We searched down the hillside for quite a while, gradually working our way up. A very large bay tree has recently fallen accross the creek, and the branches and leaves are covering the ground very close to where we eventually found the cache. For a while, I thought the cache might be underneath the tangle of branches. Eventually I spotted a pen on the ground which led to a quick find. TFTC.
WWicky #3By: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. We intended to find this cache second, but took a wrong trail and ended up circling way around from the other direction. This one was the primary objective for me today. That odd T/D combination fills a Fizzy Challenge requirement. TFTC.
WWicky #1By: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.5 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular
Out for a hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. With the tree cover overhead making zero a bit imprecise, we searched for a bit before finding the well hidden cache. TFTC.
Bay Tree Bay ViewBy: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Small
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. We came at this one from down the hill. The approach required a bit of a bushwack. BI zeroed near some really thick PO bushes, which I refused to approach. Wandering off in another direction, I had the cache in hand a few minutes later. TFTC.
Top of the WorldBy: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Small
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. Great views! I was huffing and puffing pretty hard to get them though. TFTC.
Fungus HumungusBy: CompuCash Difficulty: 4.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Small
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. Suspicious piping and electrical wire nearby, but I think it's just for pumping water up to the building on the ridge. I liked this hide! TFTC.
Cars? In Trees?By: UPSgirl (maintained by WalruZ) Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. After finding the cache, we spend a moment trying to determine the make of the car. Although it's pretty stripped, BI happened on a piece of trim...a Mercury. TFTC.
Kansas City A'sBy: The Xeroids Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular
Out for a caching hike with British Invasion on a beautiful spring day. Nice views on the way to this cache. Thanks for luring us into this park. TFTC.

2TF @ 5:30pm. Thanks for a simpler version!
Crew 71 Cache #1By: Crew 71 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small
Thanks for showing me this very nice park. Initial zero had me closer to some unfriendly signage, but I eventually sniffed it out. TFTC.

Tick-Tock Bus StopBy: runnerinwoods Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro
Recognized the spot as I approached. Just after 7pm, things seemed quiet at first, but then people started streaming out of the nearby building. If they work until 7, I wonder what time they start? Anyhow, I hung out until things quieted down again, and then got down to a serious search. Ahhhh...TFTC.

Watch Your SpeedBy: E.caballus Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro
After dark find. Those lights are actually quite bright. TFTC.
International Monetary ExchangeBy: chasam & jayaway Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small
Fortunately there was a truck parked in a perfect position to cover our search. TFTC.
Never on a SundaeBy: pao_flyers Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
Whew! What camouflage! Thinking like a geocacher did the trick though. Flush with excitement, we celebrated our find with an ice cream treat! TFTC.
LAH Pathways: Foothill College BridgeBy: budd-rdc Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular
Out for a little Geo-date with Mrs303. (What a great gal!) We enjoyed the walk to the cache by flashlight. Thanks.

Cornelis Bol Park Booty IIBy: ms piglet Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small
Rough in the dark. Several dogs and their owners surely were wondering what me and my flashlight were up to. TFTC.
Practice, practiceBy: homermayor Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small
Tricky little hide. Thanks for making me work for it!
I-Park ShortcutBy: ChipnDonna Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro
Got it. Signed log. TFTC.
The Launch PadBy: Major Phlegm Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small
I made the grab and got a shower since the cache was full of water. The log was totally soaked and pasted to the lid of the cache, so I didn't sign. That retrieval aid caused the seal to fail. The cache needs some attention.
