Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates. They take you approximately to the county line.. You must first figure out the puzzle to San Joaquin County to find the REAL coordinates. This is the next in my series of county line caches. Safe pull off parking is available but please be careful of cars.

Over the past two years now I have traveled throughout the State with a new perspective. Not like I used to… before I would fly through little burgs and towns without taking a second look. I have always traveled for work but never took the time to “see” where I was going. I would hit a town do my work and go back to the hotel and sit in my room clicking the clicker until the wee hours of the morning.

Now, every new town I pass through is an awakening. I thrive on the new treasures I see… monuments I have whizzed by a hundred times in my life are now new nuggets of knowledge, vista points I passed without a blink are postcard images burned in my mind, and side streets of towns are secret treasures that only non tourists find. Geocaching has made me stop and smell the roses.

Hopefully, this little puzzle will help enlighten you on the County of San Joaquin and maybe make you “stop and smell the roses” too.
