Totem Bowl

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

This cache was definitely a pleasant suprise! The totem pole was really cool, and nicely done on the cache camouflage and hide. TFTC!

Piece of Pie (Easy as Pie)

By: Bob & Elliecat Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I waved to the guy in the restaurant who poked his head out the back door as soon as I arrived. That seemed to satisfy him, so I commenced my search, and found the cache shortly in the logical spot. I'm glad I didn't read the hint first; it would have thrown me off. SMILIE TFTC.

Captain "Krooked Kickflip" Portola

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

2TF @ 12:25p. It was too nice not to get outside at lunch today, and fortunately, a new cache was available. Thanks! The breeze was a little brisk, but the sun was shining strongly, even in Pacifica. Very nice! This cache will really be a challenge once the weather gets a little warmer. Even today, I had to abort a couple of times with people driving and walking by. Finally, I must commend KT for the vigor with which she attacked the FTF on this cache. [8D] Her log left me wondering if she even ate breakfast first, for heaven's sake! [;)] TFTC.

Why did the Cacher Cross the River?

By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Day 2 of my push for 2K. I didn't end up crossing the river. Although my auto-router wanted me to, I had the good sense to overrule its suggestion. TFTC.

Tasmanian Devil

By: triplep220 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Day 2 of my push for 2K. What did this cache have to do with Tazmanian Devils? You're cluttering my brain with interesting but useless information. [;)]

Day 2 of my push for 2K. Lots of people enjoying themselves at the community center. TFTC. mjp303

Don't Stop Here!

By: CTomGeo Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Day 2 of my push for 2K. Of course the auto-router was useless here, so I had to do it the old fashioned way...well, not exactly since that would have been to pull out the paper street map. [;)] Loved the comment on the outside of the cache container. mjp303

Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park

By: bullit Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Day 2 of my push for 2K. Nobody playing soccer yet today, although perhaps there were one or two members at the 'athletic club' next door. mjp303

SC Fire - Agnew Rivermark

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

Day 2 of my push for 2K. As I was signing the log, a shuttle bus for a nearby church pulled up. The driver thought I might like a ride to the service. Oh, the interesting things that happen while caching! mjp303

Double Secret Trailhead

By: workerofwood Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Small

Day 2 of my push for 2K. It was quiet enough this morning that I didn't even agonize over the parking. Stop, find, go. Thanks! mjp303

Doctor Emmett Brown

By: triplep220 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Day 2 of my push for 2K. There was some sort of equestrian event going on, and several people taking pictures. A lot busier than I expected for a Sunday morning. TFTC. mjp303

Rubber Duck

By: frogham Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

8:12 am 2 of 23 on my push for 2K. Fun cache container! I can see how the location could get busy, but I wasn't too back this morning early. Thanks.

Want fries with that?

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

8:26 am 3 of 23 on my push for 2K. A group of employees uncrating merchandise disturbed my search, but I persevered.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty

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

8:29 am 4 of 23 on my push for 2K. Under the harsh light of day, this establishment looks a bit faded and worn.

I'm Green

By: Rocket Girl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

8:44 am 5 of 23 on my push for 2K. Lots of guys on bikes riding by. The parking across the street has been fenced off. TFTC.

Child's Play

By: Rocket Girl and DuckeyLee Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

8:53 am 6 of 23 on my push for 2K. As I found the cache, a young girl on a bike came riding by. She stopped, which suprised me. What I didn't know was that she was waiting for her parents. When they finally came around the corner, Mom looked pretty uncomfortable. There was not much I could do, so I just smiled and walked away. TFTC.

Man's Best Friend's Best Friend

By: glindakc Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Aix Sponsa

By: Cat & Bird Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

9:20 am 8 of 23 on my push for 2K. I saw several Mallards today, but none around this cache. I had to sign over someone else, the log strip is full. TFTC.

Romantic Rendezvous 3 ? NEM

By: hals99 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

9:31 am 9 of 23 on my push for 2K. What kind of ice cream did you have? I dunno. But if you were me, it would have been pralines and cream; it's the same kind I always have. TFTC.

Saratoga Creek Overlook #2

By: Bughound Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

9:44 am 10 of 23 on my push for 2K. Got it. Too bad the trail down by the water is fenced off. TFTC.

Maywood Spring

By: jellotrees & acceber Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

9:53 am 11 of 23 on my push for 2K. Fun cache! No water in the stream, but plenty on the lawns. They were soggy and muddy! Thanks.

By: nostrada (maintained by shadow101) Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

10:04 am 12 of 23 on my push for 2K. I had to search for this cache in full view of the guys in the barbershop across the driveway. I'll bet they wondered why I didn't stop in for a trim!

Parkway #1

By: Stacy & Jerry Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

10:16 am 13 of 23 on my push for 2K. I almost got interrupted by a guy walking his dog. From where I was standing, I'll bet he thought I was doing the same thing as the dog, though. [;)] TFTC.

Parkway #2

By: Stacy & Jerry Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

10:23 am 14 of 23 on my push for 2K. It was just a matter of trying all the possible spots. I liked watching the traffic pass underneath the bridge. TFTC.

Warburton-A Santa Clara Park

By: shoeluvr Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

11:33 am 19 of 23 on my push for 2K. A great looking park. The pool is still drained, which helped me, but made the place seem a bit forelorn. TFTC.

Lonely Bench

By: Rocket Girl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

11:42 am 20 of 23 on my push for 2K. My eye skipped over one little part of the cache description, which prolonged my search. With ninety plus visits from cachers, this bench is lonely no longer!

Been Here: Walsh

By: 50sumtin Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

11:57 am 21 of 23 on my push for 2K. Of course, the sprinklers were on making this a muddy, wet mess. Fortunately, the new log was nice and dry...until I pulled it out of the baggie with dirty hands. [;)]

GeoBeads #10 - Star Light, Star Bright

By: zapboy with help from workerofwood Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. A dark and quiet park made for perfect searching conditions, and our flashlights illuminated things just right for a quick find. TFTC.

Sylvan Park

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

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. I amazed her with my cache finding mojo on this one by picking it up before she even had a chance to search. She commented that the colors matched quite well, and we both appreciated the convenient log-signing 'table' by the cache! Thanks.

I want to be a Hilton

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. I was thinking something smaller, but she went right to it. TFTC.

All in All...

By: 0rla & eyeob Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. This cache was a bear to find. With coordinates bouncing off the sound wall, it took the two of us 15 minutes of determined effort. I gave up once or twice, but she kept looking. I finally found it over 60' from my zero (40' EPE, so that's not saying too much!) nicely camouflaged. Whew!

City-Wide Wi-Fi

By: zapboy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. We never did spot the wifi antenna, those dad-burn streetlights were blinding us. We did find the cache, and enjoyed your camouflage! TFTC!

Somewhere Hiding and Waiting

By: catomcat Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. No kids, and more importantly, no across-the-fence dogs! We slithered along in uninterrupted bliss until the cache was ours. Thanks!

An Acre of Dirt

By: L-Grl Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

A Friday night geo-date with mrs303. The gardens looked nice, but were all locked up. Nice to find a ammo can. A police cruiser took off from the station with sirens blaring which startled us! TFTC.

3 Benches and a Bridge?

By: vaccine Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

The 6 of us started out for this cache about 30 minutes before sunset. The trail was packed with joggers. Close to a mile in, a pair peeled off; after 1.5 miles, another pair turned around. At this point, the sun was down and light fading. John and I finished it off, taking the coin to move along. It was dark enough that I couldn't really see the PO, so I'm hoping for the best. Thanks for the lovely walk on a warm evening! I've attached my track: the total trip was 4.5 miles.
