One Degree Of Separation: Leapin' Lee

By: Leapin' Lee Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.5 Container: Regular

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. This was a quick stop on our way to higher elevations. Geocaching is indeed a small world. I traded coins. TFTC.

Flume Ride

By: Frenchy, Prince Michael & E Clampus Vitus 41-49 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. This was quite an interesting virtual. I was really curious how the flume transported loggers! Did they just straddle the logs? Were there special boats? Did they just float along with the current? Inquiring minds want to know! TFTC.

Snoline

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. The adults spotted this pretty quickly, but held back so that the kids could discover it for themselves. Very nicely done!

Let it Ride

By: hawaiilovers Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. We made the correct turn to arrive at this cache, the others overshot and had to turn around. We were examining the contents of the cache when their voices crackled over the FRS radio, "Where are you?" Now it's off down the Miami trail to Signal Peak. TFTC.

Devil's Lookout Cache

By: Cache Cows Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 4.0 Container: Regular

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. This was the destination cache for the day. We made a few wrong turns along the way, but travelled along a really fun trail up to the top. The views were spectacular, and it was a lot of fun to share lunch at the lookout. What? There's a cache somewhere? Oh, yeah, almost forgot the reason we came! Thanks for providing the inspiration for an unforgetable day.

Mariposa History

Exploring near Oakhurst with ModjotREKkers, Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. They'd all found it previously, but humored me with a quick stop. TFTC.

McCorry Road

By: Bronco Guy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Exploring near Oakhurst with Motor Bug, Mystery Ink, and bthomas. One last cache on the way home before calling quits. Mystery Ink sprawled out on the pavement with a car barrelling down put my heart in my throat, but everything turned out okay. The camera had a close call, too, when the car tire missed by just inches. TFTC.
