Geocache Description:


ITALY IN CALIFORNIA #2

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDS !!!

The coords take you to a good street with FREE PARKING (if there are spaces) and a 5 minute walk to the cache. You may find a better place to park but that is your choice.

I am dedicating it to Italy: my ancestors homeland and my girlfriend’s favorite country in the world.

Special Tribute to MARCELLO !!!

This is the second of a series of mostly puzzle caches since I want people to learn more about Italy and I love puzzle caches. This puzzle is more difficult than the first but should not be too hard once you understand the idea behind it and make some translations.

The cache is hidden in an area with beautiful surroundings and about 5 minutes from a place I used to live, drink cappuccino, and relax.

Ahhh The Sweet Life (5), how we miss it sooo much !!!

Cappuccino at 8 ½ (6) in the morning makes me think of the Italian lifestyle. Marriage Italian Style (1) to wine, food, women, and espresso.

Unfortunately it came time to end this lifestyle and move on – Divorce Italian Style (0).

There are no longer beautiful moon lit White Nights (4). Watching the people walk along the street you saw Everyone In Love (3). You would wake up in the morning with your newspaper, the san francisco Family Chronicle (9) and realize that there was Nothing Serious, Your Husband Is Pregnant (8). We no longer think of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (7), but what life is going to bring us next.

Ladies And Gentleman Goodnight! (2)


The coords are N 37° 12.345 W 122° 67.890

The difficulty is due to the puzzle's difficulty and the nano hide. I would use the hints right away !!!


You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

CONGRATS TO RANDY4FUN FOR FTF !!! You were also the first to find on my 1st cache this morning. WOW !!! Good job. Glad I can add to those FTF stats. I guess my third puzzle is going to have to be much harder.
