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 geocache's GC code corresponding 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, two award packages are offered: Silver and Gold. For the SILVER award, you must find at least 6 CASC geocaches in 3 counties. You must find at least 15 CASC geocaches in all 10 counties to qualify for the GOLD award. The silver award includes a CASC 2025 completion e-badge for your geocaching profile, a CASC sticker, and a small mystery prize. 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.

Sharing your progress
Feel free to share and post your progress with others on the official CASC Facebook group. Important announcements leading up to Spring Fling will also be periodically added here.

How do I sponsor a CASC Geocache?

Spaceballs

Spaceballs is a 1987 Mel Brooks comedy, a parody of Star Wars with "cameo appearences" by other movies, such as, "The Wizard of Oz."

On the peaceful planet Druidia, King Roland attempts to marry his daughter Princess Vespa to Prince Valium, but Vespa and her loyal droid Dot Matrix escape during her wedding. After wasting the fresh air on the distant planet Spaceball, corrupt President Skroob orders the arch-villain henchman Dark Helmet to kidnap Princess Vespa to force King Roland to provide them with the code to Druidia's atmosphere. Under those circumstances, the seasoned mercenary Lone Starr and his devoted half-human, half-canine sidekick Barf try to save the princess. In the meantime, the ruthless loan shark Pizza the Hutt is after them. But only he who can harness The Schwartz, a mystical cosmic force, will save the day.

This cache was hidden in preparation for SoCal Spring Fling

THE CACHE: A smart phone is required to view the hints.

Welcome to "Spaceballs".

You will find a two-step puzzle to locate the log. The steps are solvable without the hints (if you tinker a bit and share my pop culture knowledge). The hints are given in the form of YouTube Videos. 

Step 1: The hint on the cache page refers to step one only. It may not be necessary if you thoroughly inspect and feel the cache (however it may be fun).

Reset: Please COMPLETELY reset step 1 before opening step 2.

Step 2: The combination for this step will be earned by completing step 1. You will find a quote and a YouTube link (incase the quote does not give you enough information). Please note: silver BUTTON on the side of lock.

Very special thanks to gsmX2 for the location and agreeing to maintain the cache! Thank you for playing outside and being a steward of the game we love.

Happy Caching,
