This cache will take you to Lombard Street in San Francisco which is billed as the crookedest street in the world. !??I??c???
My cherished cache has been pilfered for the umpteenth time since its secret hiding spot was aired on Bay Area Backroads (just check it out at: Geocaching in San Francisco.), so there are now several caches scattered about. You act like a tourist and experience this great site by starting at the top of the street, then wind your way down to the bottom and find the cache. This will be an easy to locate cache but may be difficult to retrieve due to all the people around in the day time.


- The primary location has been pilfered once again, so there are some brown blinkies at the new posted coords at the top of the street.

- There is also a magnetic textured dark green altoids tin with log and small goodies at: N37 48.128 W122 25.129

- There is a fake ivy leaf just down about 70 feet or so from the top on the right hand side. There is a cyprus bush/tree that covers the Ivy and makes a nice little pocket: N37 48.128 W122 25.161

- 1/6/08 brown "attractive" mini altoids added at N37 48.123 W122 25.171

- Original Coords: N37° 48.132 W122° 25.086

Much thanks to MartianRabbit for the replacements. Feel free to find and log any one of these.

Tried twice and couldn't find either green altoid or mini cache. I'm committed now, hints are really welcome.

We came here doing the tourist thing on the cable car, but also for the cache. Fortunately, it was a wet windy day, so while there were a few muggles around, they werent hanging around long. I quickly located a cache container - what I thought was THE cache, and wandered away to sign the log. When I went to replace the cache, I found an almost identical nano container.

I was a bit concerned at the time that maybe I had made a mistake, but now realise there are multiple caches to be found - something unusual in my experience.

Found with Superjaz, thanks very much TeamAlamo for adding to our holiday fun.

Cheers, Bewilderbeest (on holiday from Canberra, Australia)

We found one of the blinkies at the top. That street is so fun. It was nice to finally see it in person after seeing so many pictures over the years. TFTC!

Nice to walk down this street. Have lived in the Bay Area for 50+ years, never been there. Didn't find cache though.
