Geocache Description:

Are you crazy about caching? Well, then, this cache has been placed just for you! 5150 is a section of California's Welfare and Institutions Code which allows involuntary 72 hour confinement for evaluation and treatment. In the geocaching sense, we have been described as meeting those criteria for being gravely obsessed and unable to otherwise function.

Our obsession, and the reference to "5150" is our weekend devotion to completing the Northern California DeLorme Challenge, which we officially started in February, 2007. The opportunity to tease ourselves for being so obsessed with completing 104 pages was the intersection of Pages 50 and 51 on Highway 395.

Just to make it a little more "out there," we've placed this cache in between the highway and an abandoned railroad bed. For safety, you'll have to park on the rail bed and walk to the cache, which is in the "middle" of nowhere. So, if you really come to find this cache, you might be "5150" too!

This cache is dedicated to all "obsessed" geocachers, whatever their goals might be! Many thanks to Team SportScort for helping us in publishing this cache!

An Obsessed Geocacher!
