Basement of the Alamo Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dru Morgan: Yep. This was a great cache. But, the location has gone from a pretty desolate field to a built up tourist attraction with fences and such. So, if you found this one, congratulations. To everyone else, we'll see you at the next one.

Geocache Description:

This cache is back! A new hiding technique should keep this one going for a while.

The love of Pee-wee Herman's life is his bicycle. When it was stolen, he ws sent on a wild cross country adventure after a fortune teller tells him his bicycle is in the basement of the Alamo. Along the way, Pee-wee encountered an escaped convict, a waitress with wanderlust and a jealous boyfriend, and a mysterious female truck driver.

If you have seen PeeWee's Big Adventure, this location should look very familiar to you.


After getting plundered right at the base of the T-Rex, I decided to move it about 30 feet away to the East. There is a hiding technique I have seen used here in Los Angeles for micros that lets it be right out in the open. Nobody but the gardener would even take a second look at this added feature to the landscape.

So far, I have about 47 logs that say, "The coords were off, but I found it pretty easy." OK, I am not going to change the coords every time someone's don't agree with mine. There is such a thing as margin of error. If people weren't finding it, I would be more concerned.
