It was a fun long weekend in Southern California. The main point of the trip was a visit to Disneyland, but we did sneak in a little caching and I snagged the coveted MEGA event icon (more than 500 attendees at a geocaching event) for my stats page!

Temecula Valley Geocaching Event III

By: Temecula Valley Geocaching Association Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0

6 of us down for winter break from the bay area, doing Disneyland and a little caching! Thanks for the great event!

CornerView Cache

By: Reela and Cat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

We found the cache easily, and the kids enjoyed trading in the nice big can. I decided it might be a good idea to cut the visit short when the guy at the house across the street decided to come down to the end of the driveway and watch us with suspicious eyes. Mrs. mjp303 had a better plan, she said , 'Don't worry, honey, we'll just tell him we stopped by to take pictures with the uprooted phone booth!' ...and so we did! Much fun was had by all. TFTC!

Down in SoCal with the family for winter break at Disneyland, I insisted that at least one day be devoted to caching. Today was it. TFTC!

Beep Beep

By: Cornerstone4 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Hmmm...described as a regular cache with 1 star terrain. I guess we need to learn the local geocustoms! [;)] Fortunately several locals came along and rescued us. I guess it would have helped to have seen 'It'. The one where the little boy says "REDRUM, REDRUM" still gives me the shivers. Thanks for providing a pre-event tour!

Copper Canyon Trail

Another entry on our pre-event ammo can tour! Thanks for the little hike and swimming pool parade.

Murrieta Creek Cache

By: Cornerstone4 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

After navigating our way past a pack of kids riding their bikes along a homemade jump track (...and fortuitously hearing several discussing a rope swing...) we found the cache after a short walk. Of course, returning to the car without a swing on the rope was out of the question! TFTC.

Raining People

By: we 3 treasure hunters Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

We had spotted this particular type of rain earlier in the day, but by the time we got to the cache, it was too windy for any more. After the find we lumbered on down the road a bit and watched the motocross. TFTC!
