Geocache Description:


We were inspired by the PUB Hopping Series created by Inmountains.

Here in Orange County, we have many caches where those big green transformer boxes are called "Boogers". Cute but also kind of gross. Inmountains educated us on another term we like better - Public Utility Boxes - PUB.

This series has a -O for Orangethorpe because all of the caches are near or follow Orangethorpe. Just exit the 57 at Orangthorpe, head East and you are on your way! This one does take you off Orangethorpe, but it is still easy to get to.

This series is a nice break when you have been frustrated by those clever caches that are so hard to find. We can only do so many of those until we ask our selves,"Can we just have a simple one for a change?" Soooo - Start at PUB-O 1 and do the series. You can drive right up to each PUB. They are all on the same side of Orangethorpe (South) - so no worries about crossing the major street - or doing one side and coming back.

No Nanos (hate them!). No Bushwacking (double hate them!!) Now in some cases you will have to pass through a hedge to get to the PUB, but you will NOT have to hunt IN the bush for the cache.

Most are located near places that will be “busy” during business hours. You may want to try after business hours or on a weekend.

All are small, all are magnetic. Find one, and you know what you are looking for at the rest of the
series. The container has been replaced and the cache is now in plain sight and somewhat
cammoed to blend in. (Not an exact match.) If you've never found this kind of cache, the first one
may be a challenge, but after that it should be easy.
