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.

Contra
Contra is a classic run-and-gun action game where players fight through waves of enemies using a variety of weapons and power-ups. Originally released in the late 1980s, it became well known for its fast-paced gameplay and high difficulty. Many players remember the famous “Konami Code,” which gave extra lives and became a lasting part of gaming culture.
