THE FOLLOWING IS A SYNOPSIS OF THE GEOCACHE LOCATED NEAR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTING OFFICE IN OXNARD CALIFORNIA.
OXNARD... IN VENTURA COUNTY... IS PROUD TO BE THE HOST CITY FOR THIS FACILITY WHICH PROVIDES REGULAR FORECASTING, SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS... AND A FULL COMPLIMENT OF OTHER WEATHER RELATED FORECASTING PRODUCTS TO THE COUNTIES OF LOS ANGELES... VENTURA... SANTA BARBARA... AND SAN LUIS OBISPO... AS WELL AS THE COASTAL WATERS OUT TO 60 NAUTICAL MILES OFFSHORE. SPECIFIC PLACES THAT ARE IN THIS FORECAST AREA INCLUDE POINT MUGU... CAMARILLO... VAN NUYS... SANTA ANA... AND SANDBERG... IN THE VICINITY OF TEJON PASS... WHICH ARE ALL MENTIONED IN THIS DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THEIR NAMES SOUND FUNNY IN NOAA WEATHER RADIO BROADCASTS.
CONDITIONS ARE PREDICTED TO BE FAVORABLE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL FINDING OF THIS GEOCACHE FOR SEEKERS THAT COME PREPARED WITH APPROPRIATE SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT. A MICRO SIZED CONTAINER THAT IS CAMOUFLAGED IN PLAIN SIGHT IS DEVELOPING OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS. THE CONTAINER IS EASILY OBSERVABLE BUT IS NOT EASILY RETRIEVABLE UNLESS GEOCACHERS ARE ABLE TO SIMULATE THE EFFECT THAT A ONE HUNDRED YEAR RAIN EVENT THAT IS CONCENTRATED INTO A SINGLE 30 SECOND PERIOD WOULD HAVE ON A STANDARD HYDROLOGICAL MEASURING INSTRUMENT.
GEOCACHERS ARE URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO VENTURING OUT TO THE GEO-ZONE. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT SEEKERS PROVISION THEMSELVES WITH ADEQUATE HYDRATION WHILE IN THIS REMOTE LOCATION... IN THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TWENTY OUNCES. THIS VOLUME OF ARTIFICIAL PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO SUBSEQUENTLY TRIGGER A NEAR TERM CHANGE THAT WILL BRING WITH IT A MOVEMENT FROM A LOWER ELEVATION TO A HIGHER ELEVATION. THIS WILL IN TURN FACILITATE THE DIRECT ACCESSING OF THE OBJECTIVE CONTAINER.
THE MUGGLE FACTOR IN THIS AREA IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW... BUT AS ALWAYS... GEOCACHERS ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN CAUTIOUS WHILE ENGAGING IN THIS ACTIVITY HERE AS THEY DO IN MORE POPULATED AREAS. REMEMBER... WHEN THUNDER ROARS... GO INDOORS! AND WHEN ENCOUNTERING SUDDEN ACCUMULATIONS OF FLOWING WATER OVER LOW LYING ROADWAYS... NEVER ATTEMPT TO CROSS EITHER ON FOOT OR IN A VEHICLE. TURN AROUND... DON’T DROWN!
