Nomex: Hi Joe and Ed*
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, [RED]and assuming it still meets the guidelines[/RED], we'll be happy to unarchive it.

You may email me at via the link to my profile on the log. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GCxxxx number, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

The cache is a 4" ABS pipe, approximately 15" long, with screw in ends, either end is removable. It has received a camoflauge paint job. The terrain in the area is relatively flat, but marshy with some mud holes and lots of high grass, depending on the trail taken. Cache replaced on April 30, 2005.


PIPE DREAMS HAS BEEN REPLACED

Fortunately, only the container was taken by whoever "needed" it. They were nice enough to leave the log and some of the original contents, which are included in the replacement.

A pretty wildlife area for viewing birds and the bay. There are several trail alternatives to get to the cache's new home (including the old one that starts down behind Hilfiker Pipe). Mostly depends on the scenery that you prefer. There are lots of birds in the area, so bring some binoculars and maybe even a camera.

Turn off Highway 101 at the exit where the old rendering plant used to be (the exit just past K-Mart going south).

Contents as of April 30:

  • Two large Valentine hearts**
  • Horse pencil top**
  • A smiley face eraser**
  • Some shiny rocks**
  • Blue Hawaiian Lei (where's Elvis?)
  • Iron Mountain Tri-Color Higlighter
  • Blue sport caribiner watch
  • Green Glow stick
  • Rubber Lobster
  • The 15 ball
  • Travel Bug: Siyo Cikala #4
** From the original cache
