Toro Hall of Fame Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jmunch: This cache has had a good, long run, but Toto park has now almost completely burned, so it is time to say goodby to it.
(Sad face!!)
I know we are all greaving for Toro, Big Basin and many more places, not to mention much loss of property and some loss of life.

Thanks for all the following and finders.

Geocache Description:

The great Toro Cache Hunt!
Note: The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Read on!

With the placing of the latest caches, the number of caches in Toro Park is now OVER 100! That is the highest density of caches that I know of anywhere around!!

We have learned a lot from the caches in Toro Park. Bring enough water so you don't have to rely on Mike Ferguson, a lot about a country in South America, how to say Love, Peace and Happiness in several languages, not to look too far off the trail for caches, that my birthday is properly called "PI day", etc. etc.

Here are the 101 active caches in the park:
GC946, GC3FAA, GC417F, GCF79F, GCHHYR, GCQ30B, GC12520, GC12T02, GC17V0P, GC18AA1, GC18AAQ, GC18AB9, GC18D25, GC18D3B, GC18D4H, GC18D55, GC18JB6, GC18NBN, GC18XVQ, GC18XVV, GC18Y5F, GC18Y6N, GC190AZ, GC190BY, GC191ZJ, GC191ZV, GC192TZ, GC1976E, GC19776, GC1978M, GC1978T, GC199MF, GC19BYA, GC19BYC, GC19E0G, GC19E1Y, GC19FYJ, GC19G7R, GC19G8A, GC19GDA, GC19GED, GC19GEG, GC19GEN, GC19GEX, GC19GF2, GC19GF3, GC19GFA, GC19H2W, GC19H7C, GC19KQH, GC19M3M, GC19PAJ, GC19PAW, GC19R9R, GC19WD0, GC19WDJ, GC19WEG, GC19WG9, GC19YDJ, GC19ZG0, GC19ZGT, GC1A274, GC1A2CR, GC1A2F1, GC1A2NN, GC1A3CR, GC1A6T6, GC1A7J2, GC1A8B4, GC1A8C8, GC1A8DG, GC1A8EC, GC1A8F5, GC1A8G9, GC1A997, GC1A99C, GC1A99G, GC1A99K, GC1AH9N, GC1AHA0, GC1AHAH, GC1AHBJ, GC1AJQ4, GC1AJQC, GC1AN2F, GC1AN2J, GC1AP9Q, GC1APDE, GC1AQZT, GC1AR0M, GC1AY72, GC1B7KM, GC1B8BQ, GC1BW05, GC1BYW0, GC1CZ27, GC1D3T7, GC1D680, GC1FJ83 and GC1FJ8B.

Note: as of 1/1/2010, SIX of the caches have been archived:
GC18AAQ, GC18JB6, GC19G8A, GC19H2W, GC1A3CR and GC1AHAH
so they aren't required fot this cache.

As of 2012, more caches have been archived and about that many new ones have been placed. According to Geocaching rules, the new ones can't be required here, but I encourage you to find them all! The total is about the same as it was when this cache was published.

The idea of this cache is to find all of the current Toro park caches (Those current as of August 30, 2008 are required. You are encouraged to include the newer ones.).

Here is a map of the trails we have taken as we've cached our way around Toro Park.

(Click on map for a larger version)


Note: Difficulty and Terrain numbers reflect the caches you will have to find to qualify for this cache. (The final is 2/2).

All of these Toro park caches are in Toro Park or where the intent of the placer was to access the the cache through Toro Park. (e.g. "Pi in the Sky" (GC19H2W) is included as a "Toro cache")

We (JMunch and Fox51) have found them all!!, but that doesn't matter for this cache.

To claim this cache, you should find all the caches listed above. If you were the original placer of a qualifying cache you can count it as a find. Then you should find the container for this cache, sign the log and log it on the web site as usual.

However, it is not at the stated coordinates!! To get the coordinates for this cache, use N 36° M5.990 W 121° 4A.4X4, where "A" is the number of trail markers in the park for "Airplane Trail", "M" is the number of trail markers in the park for "Mark's Canyon" and "X"="M" times 2.

Notes:
If any of the caches become unavailable (disabled or archived) by the time you log this cache, you will not be held responsible for finding them.
If you found some using a cacher name you used in the past, let me know what that name was in the log or in a message.
Caches you helped place are counted as found by you.

Hot contenders (as of August 30, 2008) are:
RoanQ: 5 not found (GC1D3T7 GC1D680 GC1FJ83 GC1FJ8B GCQ30B)
Trail Reader: 6 not found (GC19GDA GC1AJQ4 GC1AY72 GC1CZ27 GC1FJ83 GC1FJ8B)
rainbow_guyz: 6 not found (GC19GDA GC1A2CR GC1A6T6 GC1D3T7 GC1FJ83 GC1FJ8B)
Geokashers: 22 not found
HikingGPa: 31 not found
KGBhunters: 32 not found
private bones: 34 not found

GOOD LUCK!!
We hope to see you on a Toro Park trail
