A fun curiosity that's not too hard to find.
Nestled by a quiet residential road in Santa Barbara's upper
east-side is an interesting landmark, known only to locals and
those like me who discovered it accidentally. The Frog Shrine has
been here for years. Nobody I've asked seems to know who started
it, but many have made contributions over time. This is not a
traditional geocache, so PLEASE do not remove
anything. However, if you have something frog-oriented you'd like
to contribute, I'm sure future generations will appreciate it.
If you visit the Frog Shrine, be sure and explore some of the
beautiful surrounding neighborhoods. The Frog Shrine site itself
doesn't have much of a view, but many of the roads in the area
offer spectacular vistas of downtown, the waterfront, and the
islands. Definitely check it out while you're in the
neighborhood...and bring your binoculars!
I've reclassified this as a virtual cache, since some people
have gotten confused about the lack of a container and logbook.

What a fun spot. Came here today with SbGal44. It was her first day caching. We both grew up here and had never heard of the Shrine. :) Thanks

I've never had time to work my way into the hills before, but today mdawaffe and I made a point to visit the Frog Shrine on a visit to Santa Barbara. We admired all the frogginess and helped someone with a birthday scavenger hunt. Thanks for pointing this out!!

My parents came up for a visit with our niece and nephew. We thought they'd enjoy finding this cache with us.
