Cache Across Southern California 2025
Greetings film critics! Are you ready to explore Hollywood through the ages? Find and locate one of the roughly 40 CASC geocaches across all 10 Southern California counties. As you find geocaches, you may stamp your passport to track your progress and turn it in at the SoCal Spring Fling mega event on May 3rd, 2025 to redeem your film critic award.
How do I use the CASC Passport?
Use the stamp in each CASC geocache and stamp any of the 15 small movie tickets on the front page of the passport. At the bottom of each ticket, write the GC code of the geocache that corresponds to the stamp provided. Then on the reverse side, circle or highlight the caches you found from the list. Doing these steps will increase efficiency and decrease wait times at the CASC table at Spring Fling.

Geocache Backstory:
IMF agent Ethan Hunt, now aged 94, has once again been captured in a brutal ambush. The countdown to disaster is imminent, and without help, Ethan’s mission — and his life — will be lost. You, the reader, are his last hope. With your geocaching intellect and decisive actions, you alone must decipher the encoded clues and coordinate his rescue. Only your choices will determine whether Ethan escapes his captors and completes the impossible mission — or if he falls into the hands of his defeated nemesis Cobalt’s offshoot terrorist organization. The clock is ticking, and the world’s fate rests in your hands.
Geocache Backstory (Updated 4/1/25):
The awesomely encoded ammo gadget container was muggled by the enemy. It has been replaced by an inconspicuous nano. Once opened, Ethan will immediately be freed.
