Challenge of the Giant Orange Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden a few miles north of Yuba City at the above-listed coordinates. In order to log this cache, you must pick a dozen oranges, as explained below.

**********LOGGING REQUIREMENTS**********

Back in the '40s and '50s there were numerous "Giant Orange" stands along the highways of California where one could stop and take a break with a glass of refreshing orange juice. After the 1950s, when the freeways grew larger and faster, these orange juice stands faded away. Your job is to find a dozen caches with the word "orange" in the title. There is no time limit involved, you may already have found them. When logging this cache, list your requisite caches as shown below. And, feel free in your log to mention whether or not you remember the old giant oranges along the highway...
