The Beauty and Mystery of Geocaching

Mar 13, 2010 11:12am

One of the most compelling things about geocaching for me is just getting out into the scenery. I got to get out in to some different scenery this week, too, traveling about 30 miles north of Pleasanton, CA, to Brentwood, Antioch, Kingston, and Bethel Island with local cachers,...

Road Trip! Geocaching En Route to Pleasanton

Mar 5, 2010 6:43am

I’ve been really overdue for a good road trip, and my performances this week in Pleasanton, just east of San Francisco, provided the best excuse to get in the car and go! First things first: on my journeys north, I always visit the Templin TB Hotel: The I-5 / Templin Hwy Travel...

A Glorious Day for Geocaching

Feb 25, 2010 6:19pm

It was a glorious day today, as Southern California is between rain storms: sunny, but cool, and with crystal clear air for beautiful views. I headed out with f0t0m0m this morning to take a hike in the Thousand Oaks area, then do a few caches along the main boulevard....

Valentine’s Chinese New Year Geocaching

Feb 18, 2010 8:24am

Since these two holidays fell on the same day this year, what better way to celebrate than with a geocaching event? Foomanjoo hosted a fun lunch at a top-notch authentic restaurant, Hunan Chili King, in the heart of San Gabriel. Love Hurts (Burn Baby Burn) There were several tables of hungry...

Expecting the Unexpected

Feb 11, 2010 9:54pm

Surprises are one of the best parts of geocaching, and though some are not welcome, most are really pleasant, lovely, or inspiring. Seeing wildlife in urbans areas of Los Angeles is not uncommon, and I’ve seen a deer or two here and there, but OLdweeb and I encountered no less than...

5 Easy Caches – NOT!

Feb 4, 2010 8:13am

Well, perhaps it was one of those days. I picked out five caches among the closest to my house to get me out on a hike and in to the fresh air. The first one had been recently replaced, so I was confident I would spot it right...

Geocaching in Outer Space

Jan 29, 2010 9:15am

Well… at least as close as I could get for now…. I attended an event at the NASA Goldstone deep space research facility at Fort Irwin, just north of Barstow, CA! 2010 – NASA Deep Space Odyssey II We had to drive through two checkpoints on to the base then on to...

Starting the Year with a Celebration

Jan 21, 2010 5:13pm

I went out and about in the Ventura area with the Ventura Kids last weekend as they were to find cache #20,000! f0t0m0m went, too, which made the VKs the “slackers” of the group… ha! They are still the fastest cachers in the West. We snagged over...

Should be Simple, Right?

Jan 14, 2010 8:17am

OLdweeb and I headed out for a simple hike. He’d done it before and said it was mostly flat, easy trail. Simple, right? Well, except for the several short steep hills up and down, sure… mostly flat…. and except for the half mile of overgrown bushes in...

Off to a Running Start!

Jan 7, 2010 1:59pm

I started my year off with a few local caches: Sage Ranch Sunset Steel Here When The Levee Breaks My first find of 2010: It’s in Sage Ranch, and that day, there were crystal clear views for miles: The next weekend, I headed up to the Santa Cruz area along with f0t0m0m, shell1fish, and geo202...
