I have adjusted the ratings of these caches. I was out here last
week and with the heat and tall grasses, I think they are
fair..
Also, I am sure cachers coming out here will be trying to get as
many as possible surely ending up with some #5 terrain ratings. I
tried to mix it up as best as I could for ones trying to fill in
their difficulty/terrain grids ;-)
All of these were built on the spur of the moment.
From idea to the being published within two days including building
all the caches.
Quick and dirty as I just happened to have a free day.
Log only no pen/pencil
So, I had this brilliant idea, yikes not again! LOL I built
something on screen that looked easy enough that I planned to knock
it out today. Well, on screen looks much smaller than in the field.
On top of that, trail – what trail? On top of that, knee high
grass in areas with big hidden lava rocks. On top of that, ankle
deep mud in some areas. On top of that poison oak ridden edge so I
couldn’t drop down to place two of them. On top of that, I
simply ran out of steam and daylight. Whew, long start to the cache
description.
Here is the coords to the ones I didn’t get planted.
Onto the cache. I placed these as close as I could without
violating the geocache saturation clause. Close enough that you can
almost leap frog over them :-).
All “should” be quick easy finds. Figured with this
many out here hopefully you can clean them up in one trip. I do
still need to place 7 or so, so I would like to ask that this area
be reserved until I can get them place. Here are the coords where I
need to place any and if you would like to place them there that
would be great. They do need to stay as close as possible to these
coords so the Froggy dots hopefully ends up actually looking like a
frog ;-)
01 = N40 18.732 W122 07.795
02 = N40 18.635 W122 07.795
I am having a hard time trying to rate the cache terrain as I
had 6.5 hours of running around out there. Depending on your route
and the season I think they should be fair. Summer time, well I
would NOT recommend these in our summer heat. If you do go for them
please be sure to bring lots of water, and then some more!
Also snakes, yes they are out here! Tall grass and rocks, please be
very aware and cautious of them out here. I tried to hide these out
of ideal looking snake areas.
Nuff said.
Enjoy!
