Geocache Description:

The Geocachers of Orange County love to "pick boogers" and "PUB Hop" once in a while. Places to hide good caches are at a premium in the urban setting.  We use telephone/power poles, lamp post skirts, hedges, fence posts, guard rails, fake sprinklers, fake electrical plate covers, and more.  But the Public Utility Boxes (PUB) seem to be one of the more popular hiding spots. 


This is my second little urban power trail with my Trask Avenue from Brookhurst to Euclid being my first.  I put the first 7 out about a month ago and they were very easy, either magnetic key holders or pill bottles, all on the same side of the street and hidden very similarly.  But now let's "up" our game a bit.

A power trail denotes easy caches, approximately 500 feet apart, for quick finds.  But PUB Hopping should not be done as quick.  Just like in the real world where PUB Hopping entails enjoying a fine drink before heading on to the next PUB, these PUB caches should be a bit more of a challenge, both in finding and in signing.  Maybe even a little tricky in retrieving and replacing.  (Please let me know if you 'lose' one so I can replace it)  These are not meant to be easy.  But if you are an experience pro at "picking boogers" and "PUB Hopping", then this shouldn't be too difficult.  These are all NANO caches, so bring your own quill!  No FTF this time, there wasn't room in any of them.  The cache I put out recently called Redhill PUB is a good 'primer' for this little run!
