September 12, 2006

Kiss of the Oceans: I was back today for my reprise visit. Except for a few moments of uncertainty searching for 'hearts', things went smoothly. I think the new final location will be much safer, although I did have to wait out a lady who stopped to train her puppy: 'Sit, Rosco, sit!' she said. On my way back to work, I noticed a mural at the corner of Ocean and Junipero Serra that promiently features the sundial. TN, but left a Yellowstone pin. Thanks again for a very interesting and educational cache!

Rock Innie: This cache is near the top of my nearest list, and since I needed a scenic drive to unwind after work, it turned out to be...on the way home.

CM08: I had lock, but the EPE was +/-85 feet. Naturally, I was drawn to the object associated with the cache title, which turned out give me searching fits. After about 10 minutes, I retired to the hood of the car to reconsider the situation, at which point inspiration whacked me over the head! It was my first time on this road, which was quite enjoyable. Thanks for luring me off the well-travelled path!

CM10: Whew! This cache was a toughie, even with the hint. I lost lock soon after arriving, and since I didn't know which side of the trail the hint was referring to, I had to search both. Of course, I spent most of my time on the wrong side. The gathering late afternoon shadows made searching the nooks and crannies difficult, but eventually perserverance paid off. No way I was going to go away empty-handed after coming all the way down to this cache! Thanks!
