Memorial Day

Thanks for pointing out this interesting history. Folks have been in these parts for a long time! TFTC.



Crook Cache

By: Rat Mushroom Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


The caretaker had just closed up for the day as I drove up. 'Can I help you?' she says, and I replied that I just wanted a spot to stretch my legs (which I really did want!). So I spent a few minutes looking around and discovered that the bathrooms weren't locked up, which was a lucky break. After that, I made a quick find and enjoyed the views to the river below. TFTC.



I Can See Forever

By: Lil Devil Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


Fantastic views! Unfortunately I was squinting into the setting sun, which I knew would ruin the pictures. I made the approach more difficult than it had to be, but came back down the easy way. TFTC.



The Old Flower Shop

By: Morock Miss C Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular


The lady working in the store took a bit of pleasure in playing a game of warmer / colder with us. Soon we were red hot, and the joke was clear. TFTC!



Hat Creek Park

By: S.A.R 29 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


What a nice park along a peaceful stretch of river. Thanks for the cache and a little stroll in the woods!



Cal-Ore

By: Lone Ranger Tonto Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


All-Cal for us...right turn at the next intersection for a run down the line. TFTC!



Electric Horseman

By: Lone Ranger Tonto Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


Thanks for the fun little diversion off pavement! We drove pretty close, then scrambled up the rocks to make the find. TFTC!



Living Memorial Sculpture Garden

By: Wolfb8 (libby) Bgohan Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular


This was an interesting and moving place! Thanks for luring me in with a cache.



Montgomery Creek Falls

By: Rat Mushroom Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


Great hide! Very interesting location! The water was really bursting through the rocks. Thanks for pointing this location out.



Firefighter Chadlynn

By: floflower Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


A nice find in fading light. TFTC.



299E Hatchet Mt. Cache

By: Rat Mushroom Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


I was glad the snow was all gone. Thanks for the cache at another summit. It seems I have climbed quite of few of these today!



On A Hot Day

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


The sun was stong, and yes, it was quite warm all around the cache. A little sting on the fingers during the search! TFTC.



It's Tiny

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


A quick stop just barely out of traffic...not that anyone passed us during our brief stop. Just a pleasant breeze to keep us company as we inked the log. TFTC.



Shortly Off Hiway

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small


Quiet today, although the area around the cache looks like it could be busy with campers at times. Thanks for the little excursion off the paved path!



Old Gnarley

By: day,ca Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


It was fun to meet other cachers in the field. I enjoyed the tree and the birds that had made a nest a few feet from the cache. Hopefully they won't get disturbed too much by visitors. TFTC.



Adin Mtn

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Pretty road on a beautiful day. TFTC.



Getting Up There

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


After stumbling over the rocks and tripping over the trash, I made a find. Thanks for marking my route!



Wary Interesting

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Heading for Redding. I found an empty hide-a-key a few feet from the real cache, which was somewhat interesting, and a tad bit confusing!



Canby's Best

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


I made the search here harder than it had to be: bthomas pulled it out of a hiding spot right under my nose while I was looking further down and behind. TFTC.



Grass Lake Rest Area

By: Chocolate Rock (adopted by hafhas) Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


This was an interesting lake. We also enjoyed watching the crew working on the railroad track on the other side of the highway. TFTC!



Cindy's Cache

By: redog1 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


Lots of memories in geocaching for me, too. Mostly happy, but some bittersweet: remembering two friends who moved on before their time. Thanks for sharing in a spot with a heavenly view!






Minema Cemetery

By: jkruegel Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


First of the day after a great breakfast in town. The dew was heavy on the grass, but the sun was strong and I knew a great day was in store. Thanks for a good start!



Welcome to Tulelake

By: peac2u2 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


I never knew there was an internment camp here, but bthomas filled in some of the details for me. TFTC!



No Bug Crossing

By: sar933 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


The inspector told me that I needed to wash the Jeep. No way! That's a badge of honor. Plenty of bugs got a free ride on my windshield and grille today! TFTC.



Micro Cache at Mammoth Road

By: CABass Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Travelling down Hwy139, we make the quick stop for this cache. Pretty country in these parts! TFTC.



Grizzly

By: maasman72 Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro


I tried the conventional spots, then remembered that I'd seen this hide spot before. Good one! TFTC.



Hatfield Crossing: Craig's Third Micro

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


Plenty of CA sunshine for our run through the northern tier of DeLorme map pages. TFTC!



Craig's Key Ring Cache - or - The Road to Mammoth

By: CABass Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small


It was a bit muddy along the way to the cache, which was just fine by me. Splish, splash, the Jeep's sprayed with dash! We kept a sharp eye for snakes on this warm spring day. TFTC.



De Red Barn

By: Olcowboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Quick find on my way to Redding. Views of snow covered mountains were very enjoyable. It was busy on the other side of the barn, but cache side was quiet. TFTC.



Roller Derby Madness

By: piddlepuddle Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


A bit of a cross-roads here in the middle of the forest. Thanks for the quick find along my way into Redding.
