CloudView Cache: Thank goodnes for a GPSr that auto-routes! Just as you said, a quick find after arriving. Early on a Saturday there were no muggles to contend with, although a housekeeper sitting in a BMW was waiting to go to work...only in Sausalito! TFTC!

THE TROLL- from Aesope's,Three Billy Goats Gruff: Started searching, but attracted the attention of patrons eating breakfast in the nearby restaurant. Fortunately I could retrieve and place the cache out of their view with a little body english! Thanks.

Trailheads Galore!: Lots of activity around this cache on a Saturday morning! Campers cooking breakfast, hikers starting out on the trail, and a bunch of trail runners in some sort of a race. After a night of rain, clearing skies are bringing a beautiful, clear day. Thanks!

Firestone: I've been wanting to find this cache for quite some time, and today turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The clouds from last night's storm had cleared, and the views were crystal clear. I really enjoyed the hike to the cache, and got quite a chuckle when I realized how it was hidden. You've gotta love those old-time terrain / difficulty ratings, huh? Definitely one of my more memorable hunts! Thanks!

Azalea Hill: Mt. Tam was shrouded in fog, but the views were still great on this nice little hike. Great swag! TFTC!

Roy's Pools: A very interesting spot! Thanks for pointing it out.

Cecy's Cache: I had to wait for a couple to finish paying their respects. The way they were poking around the plaque, I almost thought they were cachers...then I noticed the woman dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief. So tragic. The views were great! Thanks for pointing out the spot.

"Another Birthday Bashe Cache" (WSR Turns 2): Cool hide! Even though it's past your 3rd birthday, I took the opportunity to sign the card. Thanks for the party favors!

Elephant Mountain: Cool spot! Knarly spiders! TFTC!

Rouge et Noir: Interesting spot apparently in the middle of nowhere! I stopped for a late lunch. A bunch of workers were busy in the back room making Holiday gift packages. Thanks!

Cache to Eagle #9: The outer container was full of water after last night's rain. The inner container has kept things dry...so far. I'm an Eagle scout myself, and am getting back into things as my twin sons' Tiger Cub Den leader. Time flies!

Vantage Point: I picked up the cache only to discover that about a dozen daddy long-legged spiders were using it as cover...needless to say I yelled and dropped the cache! This was a really interesting spot. Thanks for bringing me here.

San Pedro Box: A nice short hike in the fading afternoon light. Thanks for the oldie!

China Camp Overlook: I loved the views of the bay close to this cache. Thanks!

These hills aren't in Beverly: Nice views, but I really have to wonder why this exit was built. It's a mystery to me. TFTC.
