Graffiti Point

By: Xeretnipcs Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


Hold on a second. You mean we're NOT in Iraq? It sure seems hot and dry enough! Oh, that's right...too many caches. It must be the good ol' US of A! Thanks.




Buffalo Palms

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


We had already eaten back in Yucca Valley, but it seemed that plenty of folks returning from a weekend of boating were enjoying the place. TFTC!




Mojave Road Crossing at US Highway 95

By: johnislost Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


I'd love to run the Mojave Road some day. Thanks for marking the crossing. On to Las Vegas!




Bring a Lawn Chair

By: kawikaturn Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


A quick find early on a Sunday morning. Parking was easy since we had arrived before most of the surfers. We enjoyed watching the fog drift up over the bluff and dodged a steady stream of joggers passing by. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot!




Treasure of the Lin VinLoca

By: Badgerdawg Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


I took a quick hike and found the cache. As we were getting ready to leave, A CHP officer pulled up and asked how we were doing. I appreciated his helpfulness; it was not a day to be stranded in the desert! TFTC.




Holy Mound

By: Jaxdad44 and Sunchick Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


We're in the home stretch of a long, hot day between Carlsbad and Las Vegas. Thanks!




Tri-State C

I'm just focussing on California caches today. It's a DeLorme challenge thing. Thanks for populating the fringes!




Discovering Logging California's 58 Counties

By: Team Geo-Rangers Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Other


First of all, sorry for the late log...a couple of vacations sandwiched around a hectic week of work have kept me away from the computer. I made the hunt for the final on a blisteringly hot Sunday morning. Fortunately I had the advice of a previous finder, and made my approach from the "easy" side. That was probably a good thing since chuch services were in full swing during my ordeal. Diving into the jungle, it was readily apparent what the hide style would be, but it took quite awhile to check all the potential spots. By that time, I was dripping with sweat, stinging from nettles, covered with dirt, leaves, pollen, spi derwebs, and heaven knows what else. Fortunately I didn't see any snakes! I noticed the remains of a large dead bird (just the wings), and shortly thereafter had the cache in hand. It was definitely a concluding search worthy of my statewide quest, and a fun challenge with lots of great memories. Thanks!





GRAFFITI

By: CARGOLAX Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular


The urge to make one's mark must be a universal one! We enjoyed looking at all the evidence along this stretch. Personally I prefer marking my presence via geocaching! TFTC.




"Corporate Oasis"

By: Thewoodser and Rusty_75 Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual


Cool spot! Thanks for pointing it out.




Amboy Lava Flow Dinocache

By: Florian Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


We saw the crater through the shimmering heat in the distance. Too hot and a bit out of our way to get up there on this trip, so thanks for an introduction!




Patton's Cadiz Cache

By: 2bj's Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular


A hidden gem! I love the places geocaching brings me to see. Thanks for the introduction.



The Old Road

By: olsenr Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen


Didn't take your advice, and just stopped along the current road. Close enough really. That's what flashers are for, aren't they? TFTC.




Pole Whole

By: Xeretnipcs Tassieworfsky Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small


The cache was close to a shady parking spot, which was good. We finished our fast food from across the street and found your cache. Thanks!




Kick up your feet!

By: In Pursuit of Cache Difficulty: 3.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small


I love the shoe trees! Thanks for marking this one.




Fence Line Cache

By: mikeparr01 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small


A quick find, but I had a ache in my neck after having to reverse it for a quarter mile along that berm to get out. TFTC.




"Gnow Way Out!" Travel Bug Motel

By: Gnome007 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular


Drove right up to it, and dropped off a TB. TFTC.




Morongo Grade

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Headed up the hill. I got pinned behind a loaded tanker truck back down at the light so just decided to enjoy the scenery and find a cache. Interesting rock formations. Thanks!




Bugs Eye View

By: Wheeler Dealers Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Not chosen


We watched the shimmering heat above the wind turbines, but only for a second, since the frosty AC in the car was much more inviting. TFTC.




390

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


Heading to Las Vegas via Amboy and Route 66. Thanks for the quickie along the way.




400

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


That's a long, straight road. I see that it's about to turn. Thanks for breaking up our travels!




399

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


We've done several of these in the last few miles. Thanks for memorializing there sacrifice.




394

By: Joshua Tree Bonnie Clyde Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Didn't even get up to speed from the Buffalo Palms before arriving from this one. Thanks!




WHERE'S A GEEK!!!

By: Railroader99 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro


No geeks except for us. TFTC.




Route 66 Burial Ground

By: Mandy'sMom Team Tortoise Cachers Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Too hot to linger very long, but thanks for pointing out the cemetary.




State Line CAL-NV

By: johnislost Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small


Coming from the south. Goodbye rough and bumpy road; Hello smooth! TFTC.




Beep! Beep!

By: Terra Girl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


We found the cache container laying on its back like a stranded tortise: exposed and vulnerable. After signing the log, we returned it to a proper orientation. Thanks for sharing the history of this interesting place!




"Oh Well"

By: Tassieworfsky Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small


Interesting back story. Thanks for sharing it. I was amused to see the old and new versions of the CDOT buildings across the street from each other. I suppose it was just easier to start fresh, huh? The roof above the well is quite flimsy. (I know, I tried searching up there!) Hopefully someone will maintain this bit of history. TFTC.




Cloride

By: Xeretnipcs Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small


Nearly burned my fingers retrieving the cache! HOT today. (No Duh, right?) Thanks for pointing out an interesting place.
