Whats up with Anchors anyway by A Team & Binky Del Mar
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
Our second wherigo hunt, and things went smoothly this time. Thanks for the additional hints after advancing the cartridge to GZ! That was a tough hide, and I wasn't too confident in the ability of my iphone widget to zero. The neighbor muggles came into play a bit as we could hear them cheering the niners to victory. Thanks. mjp303

The Preserve Visitor Center by A Team
Size: (regular) Difficulty: Terrain:
What a great place! We ended up spending quite a while looking at the exhibits and talking with the docents, who were friendly and knowlegable. Great work they're doing here, and a fun hide. TFTC. mjp303

I've passed by Vallejo and Mare Island several times en route to other geocaching locations, but always wanted to explore the area a bit more thoroughly. Thanks for pointing out this interesting history! mjp303

Mare Island Historic Park Foundation by A Team Vallejo
Size: (micro) Difficulty: Terrain:
The museum was closed today as we passed by, but we felt well rewarded by all of the intersting things we were able to see and access. A very sucessful trip to Mare Island! mjp303

Mare Island Historic Cemetery by A Team
Size: (micro) Difficulty: Terrain:
This cache was one of our primary objectives for today's outing. bthomas went to work with his camera while I followed the arrow and signed the log. I had no idea that Mare Island had been around as long as it has! Thanks for the opportunity to reflect on the lives of those who went before. mjp303

Mare Island Commissary by A Team
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
bthomas and I thought we'd try a few wherigo caches. A bit confusing, but eventually we got to the end and found the familiar container and log sheet. One of Vallejo's finest stopped by mid-cartridge thinking we were up to no good, but we were able to convince him otherwise. Thanks! mjp303

Fire One! by TeamMoehrke
Size: (virtual) Difficulty: Terrain:
Thanks for the virtual! Pretty quiet late on a Saturday afternoon, especially given the fact that the 49ers were engaged in a playoff game. mjp303

Dry Dock by Binky del Mar
Size: (micro) Difficulty: Terrain:
To me, this was the most interesting and amazing stop of our day. Wow! I had no idea. There were several workers underneath a ship in the smaller dry dock, and they looked puny next to the propeller. And to think that the larger granite dry dock was even bigger! TFTC. mjp303

Tucson Breakfast Cache! by 4Contessa's
Size: (micro) Difficulty: Terrain:
Visiting the Tucson area from San Francisco. I'd like to say it was GC that directed us here, but actually it was yelp. Lotsa stars, only one dollar sign...perfect! We found the cache after a great breakfast, and are sorry to say that the trip is over. Airport next. Thanks, mjp303.

I flew in tonight for a business meeting tomorrow. This cache was closest to the hotel. Great fun and a lot more than I bargained for! Thank goodness for the TOT I noticed while searching more conventional hiding places. TFTC and a favorite point! mjp303

San Xavier del Bac by ShadowAce
Size: (virtual) Difficulty: Terrain:
We visited from the San Francisco Bay area for a getaway weekend. It was lots of fun learning about and hiking in the Sonoran desert. This church/mission was a fantastic bonus, and a place we never would have visited except for that little ghost icon! After a late lunch of fry bread, we toured the inside and marvelled at history and devotion. Thanks! mjp303

Leaning Towers Of... Arizona by bennet
Size: (not chosen) Difficulty: Terrain:
A gorgeous winter day with absolutely no wind at all. Very interesting to contemplate the natural forces that have shaped this area. Lovely view and plenty of others out and about doing the same. Thanks for the EC and for guiding today's adventure! mjp303

Howdy Pardner! by stcyrilpack115
Size: (regular) Difficulty: Terrain:
We're visiting Tucson from the San Francisco Bay area, and decided to hike Ventana Canyon since it's close to where we're staying. The Saguaro cactus are really great! Thanks for a nice big cache along a beautiful trail. Very different from the mountains back home. We were suprised to find nice little creek not much further up from the cache, and met some very friendly hikers along the way. TFTC. mjp303

Fore and Four Tenths by TriCityGuy
Size: (regular) Difficulty: Terrain:
Visiting Tucson for a weekend getaway from the SF bay area, and Ventana Canyon was our first hike sice we were staying nearby. What a beautiful place! I love the desert here. I'm sorry to report that someone had a 'bathroom emergency' (can I call it that if the scene of the crime includes TP?!?) about 2 feet from the hiding spot. Bummer. Thanks for a great old cache though. mjp303

Check Out The Pan, Man! by bennet
Size: (other) Difficulty: Terrain:
A get-away weekend in Tucson, and we decided that a drive up Mt. Lemmon would be a fun way to spend the afternoon. What an awesome viewpoint! Thanks for teaching us a little more about the area too! mjp303

Catalina Mountains by Arizona Desert Brew
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
Visiting Mt. Lemmon from CA. A family was sledding accross the way, but they paid no attention to my wandering around in the prickly bushes. Good cache camouflage! Fortunately some of it was cracked off of the lid and I was able to spot the unnatural color. TFTC. mjp303
