A fun virtual for the cacher who likes to travel.
Welcome to Los Angeles . . . now go travel!

The coordinates of this virtual cache will take you to a spot across the street from Los Angeles' famed City Hall where you will find a sign post indicating the approximate direction and distance to L.A.'s twenty sister cities.

To successfully complete this cache you must complete each of the following tasks:

1. Visit the sign post in Downtown Los Angeles.
2. Take your picture in front of the sign. Be sure your GPS is visible in the photo.
3. Go to a prominent landmark in one of Los Angeles' sister cities (e.g. famous tourist locations, airports, train stations, etc.). Be sure that your photo spot proves that you were in the sister city. Be sure your GPS is visible in the photo.
4. Post your log on this page. Be sure to include both photos and the coordinates of the place you took your photo. Tell us a little about your trip to this foreign land! If possible, include hotel, restaurant or tourist site recommendation in the sister city for future cachers.

An unlimited number of cachers may visit the same sister city, but you must include a photo from a different spot than another cacher.

Have fun, safe travels, and godspeed!

On holiday in LA for XMAS, spent a day downtown just wandering looking for caches.
Came across this one. Found out our home town (Vancouver) is a sister city.
Go figure, never knew that!

So here's a photo near the LA "pole" and us geocaching in vancouver, Canada near to the Lions Gate Bridge.
TFTC!

What a fun idea for a cache. I am uploading the photo of myself with my GPSr in front of the Sister Cities pole. If I do it now I won't have to go looking for it when I complete the cache requirements.

Was in the area to see an rv that someone had for sale. Thought I'd grab a few caches. I circled the block a few times and was AMAZED that there weren't closer parking spots, even for the handi-capped (Mamason currently has a handicap tag because of a foot injury which is limiting ambulation). Finally parked in front of Bank of America and stepped inside to use their facilities. How unwelcoming can an area be? No parking and now, no bathrooms. I learned, that even though I'm a BofA customer and I made an obligatory transaction, I was not privy to use their privy! There was just no way I was going to manage limping over to ground zero on my VERY full bladder. So I opted for the next best thing...a driveby. I liked the way a previous logger had posted their picture as a note...safe keeping for when they make the second leg of this cache. Thus, I'm doing the same. Looking forward to traveling and logging more caches. Thanks for the fun.
