Great hide!  SLO City. This is a nice hike, but what makes it special is the hide.  When you find this one, you know you're putty in the hands of a devious master cacher.  A great puzzle to solve.

Ambiguous

Great location!  Between SLO and Arroyo Grande. This is a very neat location and a clever hide.  A spot you wouldn't expect to find these days and a perfectly designed cache to make use of the area.

Black Hole 

Great hide!  SLO City. This one was a very fun puzzle for us and it was not as easy as it first seemed.  It took us several tries to get this one right, and that made it all the more fun.  Some of the areas involved are very unique and fun to explore.  Finishing this one definitely left us with a sense of triumph.

Dead Man's Chest

Great hide!  SLO City. This is an unremarkable location with a truly remarkable hide.  You won't believe it when you find it.  How the owners set this one up without muggles noticing is beyond us, but we loved it!

Doggy-Doo Park

Great location!  SLO City.  This is a well constructed cache in an incredible location.  It gives you the chance the see the underbelly of the city's drainage system which is both eerie and cool.  Very fun cache.

Down the Drain

Great location!  SLO City.  This canyon is filled with architectural oddities that collectively resemble a ghost town from the 1970's.  It is all kinds of fun exploring these houses/structures and marveling at their inspiration and craftsmanship.  Bring a picnic and enjoy the walk through this lovely area.

Geocachic Dome!

Great location!  SLO City.  This one is our caches, but the real star is the location.  This is a beautiful structure and garden that most people, even those who live nearby, don't know about.  It is an absolute joy to discover and explore.

Guardin' the Garden

Great hide!  Los Osos.  PenEx West loves a good mystery and this one is very well done.  There is no procedure to follow or spoiler hints.  To solve it requires thought, research and creativity.  The hide is in a beautiful location and the cache is well situated.  All around enormous fun.

How Irrational!

Great location! In Avila Beach.  This is a very unusual meditation garden - very unexpected as you drive to it.  It is a spot worthy of contemplation and exploration.  A one-of-a-kind location to be sought out - and stop by Avila Barn for fresh produce and amazing zucchini bread on the way home.

Labyrinth Meditation Garden

Great TB Hotel!  SLO City. The best organized and maintained TB hotel we've found.  It's always stocked with goodies and it's convenient while still in an interesting location.

Lion House Cache & TB Rest Stop

Great hiking!  This is a series of 6 beautiful hikes in the SLO city area.  Each walk and hide is unique and this multi is a great way to explore the "morros" for which the area is famous.

Open Spaces

Great hide! SLO City.  This cache is at the base of a nice 2 mile ridge walk with some other caches on it.  This one, however, is unique for it's camouflage.  You won't believe your eyes!

Passed Your Eyes

Great hiking!  Los Osos. This is a small open space that few seem to visit.  However, it is phenomenally beautiful, with large twisted oak trees that beg for climbing.  A nice short walk for families.

Treasure in the Oaks

Great hide!  SLO City.  This is an excruciatingly clever hide.  If you've never seen a cache like this, expect to search for this one for a long time.  Its beauty is its simplicity.

Yuppie Sensibilities

PenEx West has really enjoyed caching in San Luis Obispo County this past year (Sept 2007 - Aug 2008). We hit all but a few of the SLO City caches and many around the county.  Here are a few of our favorites.
