HardRock 2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

A couple of different parking places, one with a potential fee about 0.7 Mi away, the other free and closer, about 0.5 Mi away (both measured as the crow flies). The approach to the cache meanders for the most part along very well defined, wide trails, then along less than 200 feet of game trail. The cache itself is located within 15 feet of the final trail. In addition to the deer, geese, and rabbits we saw we were buzzed by one snake well away from the cache, so be aware!

We don't understand how Kubuli and Pepper missed this side of the river, as it has all their favorite stuff: piles of dredger tailings covered with scrub oak and foxtails, lots of wandering paths, elevation changes and scenery changes around every turn, lots of wildlife, occasional poison oak, but no Trolls and no Star Thistle. The cache container is small and cylindrical, a little large that a Peanut Butter jar, and camo'ed. It may be a little challenging to spot, but if you get near enough it is visible.

Contents (in addition to the log book):

  • "The Finest of Hard Rock 2" CD
  • Sacramento River Cats mini mouse pad
  • Set of golf tees and ball markers
  • Small tube of toothpaste
  • 3 packs of seeds
  • Bag of Balloons
  • Soft foam World Globe
  • Nice N Clean hand wipes
  • Mini Spot Lite key chain
  • Purse sized Flower stand mirror
  • Aloe Vera Gel
  • Blue's Clues stickers
  • Win Batting Practice against Nolan Ryan contest CD
  • Lip Balm
March 15, 2003 update: The cache has been replaced with a slightly smaller container and moved just a foot or so to avoid Poison Oak. Let's hope it lasts even longer than the original!
