The Swinging Bridge

By: MissTerri & Warriorrider Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

Scouting routes for an off-road GWS6 cache run. There were lots of kayakers around today as the water is nice and high. We enjoyed looking at the old bridge and driving the winding road to get there. TFTC.

The rendezvous point for a trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. Thanks for helping me keep up with a personal goal of finding more multi-caches than puzzles. Interesting history, too.

I looks like suburbia is starting to arrive around here. Not Cool. Heh!

Mossy Oak

By: Celtic DreamCacher & Placer Cacher Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

A trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. Mosquito Road is a lot of fun. We loved the trip down to the swinging bridge and back up again. A suprising amount of traffic on this stretch thought. TFTC.

Bikeable?

Repeat after me. Closer is not always better. Closer is not always better. Heh.

Welcome back to Iowa...... (Hill, that is....)

By: Uncle-Al Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Scouting a GWS6 off-road cache run. I love the cemetary caches. It really makes you think about the people who settled the area: their lives, hopes, and aspirations. Thanks!

Dead men tell no tales. Evidently, neither do their horses! Thanks for the interesting story and the cache along a very scenic road.

A trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. Great views from the top while we enjoyed our lunch. I'm sorry the old cache is gone, but happy that there was a replacement there for us to find and log. Thanks!

The Road to Iowa Hill - Wells Fargo Vault

By: The Sierra Hiker Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

So our group is milling about and inspecting the cache site when a local family comes strolling down the road. I think they were quite amused with us. Perhaps the liquid refreshment they were gulping had something to do with it too. [;)] TFTC.

The Road to Iowa Hill - Dinner Tree

By: The Sierra Hiker Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

Scouting routes for a GWS6 off-road cache run. Dinner? Where? That sounds really great right now! Oh, we're only 150 years too late? Drat. Cool that the tree still marks the spot. TFTC.

The Road to Iowa Hill - Suspension Bridge

By: The Sierra Hiker Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Scouting routes for a GWS6 off-road cache run. Whew! I thought this was going to be a DNF for our group of 8. We searched for quite some time. Finally ProTechcc got an angle that afforded a clear view. Several of us were probably only inches from a find with our more conventional blind sweeps. Thanks for the challenge. Plenty of campers and kayakers in the vincinity.

Downhill from the top of Sacramento County!

By: RickMcC Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

A trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. A dad and his son were warming up for a little league game next door. They pegged us right away, and we had a friendly conversation. TFTC.

Georgetown Final Rest II

By: Species5618 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. There was some discussion whether or not we were going to spend the time to seek out the clues for this find. Although bthomas said that he was just going to take a few pictures, we all ended up thoroughly enjoying the visit. I especially enjoy seeing all the interesting places people came from, and wondered about all the 'unknown' markers. Thanks for the cache.

Cougars Den

By: Forward Company Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Thank goodness we happened on this cache on a Saturday. Tough to teach little muggles that trade fair or don't trade at all lesson, especially in this location. We created a log out of a tardy excuse note. Thanks for the smilie.

California's Lowest Highest Peak

By: Oodles of Noodles & 47Dad47 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

A trip to scout an off-road cache run for GWS6. I needed a cache in Sacramento county, so bthomas suggested this one. Massive construction in the area is an understatement! (See my track.) Things are a lot more fenced in than they used to be. Great views from the top, although it was a bit hazy. Thanks for an interesting hunt!
