I installed this cache in 2021. Who knew, right? 25 years and going strong! Tuna, Anza Borrego Desert, Borrego Springs, California
From the coordinates, proceed south, beneath the palm tree. Use the magic portal to advance through two glass walls. Continue 45 paces.
Ride Silver Train #1 to the end of the line. Dismount. Proceed north 16 paces. Transfer to Silver Train #2. Ride it, too, to the end of the line. Dismount. Proceed north past the Vertical Magic Tube Transport Device. Bear left, then right. Locate The Secret Door With The Magic Silver Bar. Press The Magic Bar and enter. You're inside.
Descend into the beast. The magic number is 51. You’re in the belly of the beast now. Look for its enormous red tongue. Look for the cache.... is is before you. Caress it.
The cache the same color as the dragon's tongue. It is well camouflaged but it is there with room for a log book, golf pencil, and tiny trinkets.
The Buckhead Cache was inspired by the Pre-Industrial Escalator Cache of the famous Yrium. Dozens of San Diego cachers enjoyed the exploits and adventures of he and his wonder dog Gromit on cache hunts. Check out his August 18, 2001, log of the San Diego Ocean View cache to get a sense of the never-to-be-forgotten Yrium, one of San Diego’s most beloved cachers.
One of our local geocaching legends, gentle giant and master raconteur Yrium, passed away in early July 2004 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Known throughout the region for his wit and hilarious cache logs, Yrium was a “Pal” to everyone he met through caching in person or online. On behalf of the San Diego Geocaching community, I dedicate The Buckhead Dragon to Yrium.
To exit the beast, descend and exit. Alarm will NOT sound.
BEWARE THE DRAGON GUARDIANS: Dragon Guardians abound outside, booting unauthorized transport vehicles to the tune of $50. Stay legal. Stay alive.
I was a trainer and speaker from San Diego at the time. For this cache, I was at a seminar/workshop in Buckhead from Aug 19-26, 2001. I was one of the first geocachers in San Diego County. Back in the day, I stashed 10 caches in the San Diego area, mostly on coastal mountain tops and ridges. Now retired, I'm a wildlife tracker (a hobby).
The best to you from San Diego.
Carpe Diem!
