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 3, 2025, to redeem for 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.
CASC Prize Redemption
To qualify for prize redemption at SoCal Spring Fling 2025, there are two award packages being offered: Silver and Gold. For the SILVER award you must find at least 6 CASC geocaches in 3 counties. For the GOLD award you must find at least 15 CASC geocaches in all 10 counties. The Silver award includes a CASC 2025 completion e-badge for your geocaching profile, CASC sticker, and a small mystery prize. The Gold award includes a complimentary special edition CASC 2025 geocoin + the silver award prizes. Only one prize package per qualifying account. Prize distribution will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is a tale of the love between the beautiful Buttercup and the besotted Westley, a love cruelly interrupted by Westley's tragic (apparent) death at sea when seeking his fortune. Heartbroken, Buttercup swears never to love again and instead is forced to accept the marriage proposal of the rich and handsome Prince Humperdinck. But death is no barrier to true love! In a story filled with exotically-accented swordsmen, big-hearted giants, genius kidnappers, sadistic torturers, a fire swamp, Rodents of Unusual Size, the Dread Pirate Roberts, and a somewhat-embittered miracle worker, the love between Westley and Buttercup twists and turns on a path filled with adventure. Playing in theaters on September 25, 1987.

Accessing the Log
In addition to inventing The Machine that tortured Westley, Count Rugan also designed a smaller device, The Contraption, to torture geocachers. You must open The Contraption to gain access to the log.
Despite its torturous nature, The Contraption is a delicate device. Handle with care so that others may also suffer.
