Carmel-by-the-Sea: Mission and Stealth
A
Geocaching Tour of Carmel-by-the-Sea
This
series is designed to offer a variety of geocaching challenges
ranging from level one to level three. Some of the caches will be a
quick and easy grab. The rest are located in a busy urban area and
may require stealth techniques, a high level of patience, advance
planning, or return visits.
This
Carmel-by-the-Sea series would not be complete without the
inclusion of Clint Eastwood in some way shape or form.
Big
box office superstar AND former Mayor of Carmel, Clint will be
remembered in Carmel-by-the-Sea for repealing an archaic law that
forbid visitors to eat ice cream on the streets of
Carmel.
Clint is also well known in town for his previous
ownership of the fun Carmel "Hogs Breath Inn" restaurant, and his
current ownership of the unique Mission Ranch restaurant and
resort.
The
historic Mission Ranch was built in the 1850's and has become a
popular gathering spot for both locals and tourists. The restaurant
/ bar also feature a nostalic piano bar and a large deck
overlooking coastal meadows. And of course, Clint makes frequent
appearances which adds to the scenery!
Your
"Mission", if you choose to accept, will take you to beautiful
Carmel River beach. Here you will find a spot with the ultimate
view of Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch. Pair your "Mission" with
your "Stealth" and you'll have a cache.
Although this is a small cache, it is jammed full of
great stuff. Please trade equal or trade up and MOST IMPORTANT
re-hide the cache VERY WELL. This is a high traffic area favored by
both locals and tourists. An exposed cache will be a lost cache.
After you are finished, give a wave to Clint and company over at
the Mission Ranch!
