ERIN GO BRAUGH !: 2nd attempt. I drove up, and there was British Invasion just starting to size things up. We searched. We checked the previous logs. We searched again. I called a lifeline. He didn't remember the cache, but I kept talking. Eventually we got a bit of help. Finally, we went back to searching, and finally there it was. Whew! What a struggle.

Juana Find a Cache?: I attempted to complete this cache as it was designed, but the park was packed with Moms and kids on this sunny Saturday (a rare thing lately), and I felt a few suspicious stares. So, I checked the hint and wandered off. The find was mine in the second place I checked! TFTC.

20th Anniversary: Very nicely done; I loved how the hide fit the cache theme. It'll be 20 years for us later this year. Congratulations to you, and best wishes for all the years to come. TFTC!

Marsh Miles: I almost didn't make the trek back out for this cache. But, since it was a perfect day, I decided I couldn't pass up the trip. A nice cache and a glorious hike. Thanks!

Nature Galore!: Great spot! I sat for a while soaking in the sunshine. TFTC.

Itsae ucan dits ab igone: What an interesting spot. Thankfully the library was closed because I circled the spot several times before figuring things out. Nicely done!

Byxbee Park: A quick find, but a challenge to put back since I neglected to notice exactly where or how it was attached. (I assumed I didn't need to be precise!) So there I am, stalling while waiting for a muggle break, finally getting one, and then not being able to put it back. Quite comical actually. TFTC.

Stumpy: I was curious about what goes on at the building down the path, but it looked a little creepy, so I didn't investigate. TFTC.

Traffic Patterns: Odd, and interesting. It took me a while to get to since I guessed wrong about which side of the freeway it was on. TFTC.

Silicon Valley Hanging Tree?: Thanks for the history! I found the cache in good shape.

Shred it, Dude!: Thanks for pointing out this park. As I pulled up, a family arrived. Dad was going to skateboard, and his 2-year old had big plans too! He couldn't carry his too well, but was pretty good at laying on it and paddling along with his hands! Cute. TFTC.

Booked: Peaceful spot. Latest book: Whatever the kids pull off the shelf. TFTC.

Duck Dock: Approaching the cache, I noticed a strangely familiar dog, a Mom, and two kids. Then, at the last minute, I saw Shores Scout, hunched over his backpack, with a look on his face like I'd caught him with his hand in the cookie jar. My timing was perfect, and he handed me the log. TFTC!

She Sells Sea Shells: First of the day. Finally, sunshine on a Saturday! I love this park when everything is green. Thanks for the hike.
