Alder Springs

By: bishoptakesqueen Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

An easy drive up in a remote place. We wondered if the very good road had been built with CCC (...prison) labor. Plenty of country to explore up here, and would love to come back. TFTC!

Reflec On The Past

This was an interesting old relic. Thanks for pointing it out.

Flippin' a "U-ie" #4

By: redvoodoo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Wide open country here. No concerns for me with sudden changes in geocaching direction. Thanks for marking your 180! TFTC.

BIG BEAR THE FINAL BATTLE

We tiptoed through the poison oak mine field and eventually located the cache by looking back uphill at an area we had already crossed. Thanks!

SHASTA

This cemetary was a really interesting place! I headed out to find the cache while bthomas was taking photographs, then circled back down finding lost treasures all along the path back down the hillside. TFTC!

Car Wide Open

Didn't realize that the cache owner had pulled a lot of caches, and found an attachment device without a container. Since it's a really cool hide, we decided to replace the container and try to keep the cache going. Thanks for all your caches in this area!

In The Outback

I felt a bit unstable climbing up the edge of the road bank cut, but fortunately the cache was well back from the precipice! Thanks!

Always Out Back

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

It's a warm day, and getting hotter as we descend. Whew! Record highs for April, I believe. TFTC.

May The Bird Of Paradise...

Thanks for the cache along the way to NorCal DeLorme p65 up at Alder Spring. Pretty country and a very nice road to follow. TFTC.

OUT SIDE THE PARK

By: BIG BEAR. Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Two containers, but only one cache! Thanks for the bonus.

DEERLICK

By: crowshoot Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Another summit cache! Thanks for the short walk in the forest. I'll be interested to see if this cache is in Trinity county or not. TFTC.

"Fish Don't Swim"

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

What a beautiful day for a little hike. Thanks for pointing this spot out to us. The air was perfectly still, and the thing that struck me was just how quiet it was. That doesn't happen where I'm from. TFTC.

"Track" Me Down.

By: OakStreetSeekers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Saw the racetrack and then saw the cache! The hills are green and beautful right now. Thanks!

Buckhorn Summit

By: Vader Spade, VyCache, Vantigo Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Whew! What a curvy road to get to this summit! I felt slightly queezy after all of that turning. Thanks for the opportunity to get out and grab some fresh air.

Stress Relief

By: Desert(B)Rats Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

I think it was a bit more than 10 minutes to get those coordinates, but hey, who's counting with views like the ones we were treated to near here! Thanks for the lifeline MotorBug. I decided to traverse the last few feet in my shorts and paid the price for it with those pesky manzanita bushes. Thanks for showing us a wonderful forest road high up in the mountains.

Fork in the road

By: SAR22 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Not chosen

Definitely a one of a kind headstone. TFTVC!

Kok-Chee-Shup-Chee

By: Gatos Laughing Ponies Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

This cache turned out to be a highlight of the day for me. An interesting spot from a historical and geological standpoint in an out of the way place on a dirt road! Perfect. Thanks for bringing us here.
