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.

John Madden Football
John Madden was a Pro Football Hall of Famer, a Super Bowl winner as head coach of the Raiders, and an influential TV broadcaster. 🏈 He got his start playing football right here at Cal Poly. 🏈
This geocache is right next to the Doerr Family football practice field. Mustang Stadium is located west of here, right next to the new 33,000 s.f. John Madden Football Center that is set to be completed in 2026.
John Madden Football debuted in 1988 for the Apple II computer. There have been many iterations of the game up to this day. John Madden was very involved with the creation of this game. Due to the developer using his namesake, John Madden was known for his heavy involvement in its design. He gave steady feedback, and insisted on its accuracy and realism.
Please note, parking can be tricky as the cache is near a paid parking lot and street parking is by permit. Waypoint added for parking kiosk. The cache is a common type of hide though (see hint), so it should be pretty quick and you may not need it. Just a heads up to use your discretion.
🏈 Please reset the geocache for the next player. 🏈
