Geocache Description:


The cache IS at the above coordinates!

Cache Across Southern California 2026

Greetings gamers! Are you ready to explore video games through the ages? Find and locate one of the roughly 50 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 Signal's Island in San Diego to redeem your prize(s)!

Do not remove the stamp from the container, it is part of this geocache!

How do I use the CASC Passport?

Use the stamp in each CASC geocache and stamp any of the 25 small game tokens on the front page of the passport. At the bottom of each coin, 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 line management at Signal's Island.

CASC Prize Redemption

To qualify for prize redemption you must bring your completed passport to Signal's Island Goes M*A*S*H (GCBGC72) in San Diego on Saturday, October 3rd 2026. There are two award packages being offered: Silver and Gold. For the SILVER award, you must find at least 10 CASC geocaches in 3 counties. To qualify for the GOLD award, you must find at least 25 CASC geocaches in all 10 counties.

Retro Bowl

Retro Bowl is a single-player football game where you take control of a team as both the coach and general manager. Build your roster, draft new players, and lead your team through a full season all the way to the Retro Bowl championship! You can call plays on offense, manage player morale, and upgrade your team's facilities to improve performance. Play quick games on the go or dive into multiple seasons as you create your own football dynasty, but be careful, every decision you make can impact your team’s success!

This cache was hidden in preparation for Signal's Island.


You are stepping into your own Retro Bowl journey as you hunt down this exclusive cache. The cache itself should be easy to find, but the real challenge comes after, as you will be faced with a puzzle box containing the log. Your goal is to solve a 4-digit lock combination using the information provided. Be sure to refer back to this page while solving, as it will be very difficult to complete without it. Use the team abbreviations below to help decode the puzzle box.

BUF= Buffalo Bills
CHI= Chicago Bears
DET= Detroit Lions
JAX= Jacksonville Jaguars
LAC= Los Angeles Chargers
MIA= Miami Dolphins
NYJ= New York Jets
SEA= Seattle Seahawks
PHI= Philadelphia Eagles

Digit 1: Buffalo Bills (start), Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, back to Miami Dolphins, down to the Philadelphia Eagles, to the New York Jets, and finally back to the Philadelphia Eagles (end).

Digit 2: Buffalo Bills (start), New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, and the Jacksonville Jaguars (end).

Please treat the puzzle box and cache with respect, as the container is custom-made and took a lot of time to build. Happy caching!
