El Sombroso Junction Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

CKayaks: 1:12:00 PM

Out for a hike up to Mt Sombroso from Hikes Road with a group organized by Alpharoaming. It has been a while since I hiked up this mountain. My feet were hurting the last three miles back to the car. All good the next morning, but it called out that I have been spending more time with the school books than the hiking boots this last semester. :)

Archiving everything in my inventory as time allows. Too many hassles and too much whining from cachers. Verbal abuse in email and logs. Finds logged when they did not visit and sign. People celebrating the king of fake logs with events! And GS not providing any support when the CO tries to enforce the quality of his caches. Done.

My suggestions for anyone that has concerns with this approach:
* Help clean up the game by raising your concerns with Groundspeak. Let them know that bad behavior by players, cheating, allowing false finds, and such has degraded the game.
* Do the same with the cachers involved. Politely hold them accountable. Publicly, in some cases, if need be.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Yes! Another full size cache. Finally, after all those micros and smalls on the way up here. An ammo can just off trail in the Sierra Azul Preserve. See the notes about the coin rules please.

The El Sombroso and the Sombroso Spur caches were my goal for the day. Checked both of them off my to-do list finally. Thought I would celebrate (and lighten the load in my backpack!) by dropping a full size cache here, the beginning of the trail to the Spur cache. Enjoy!

Coin Rules:

The cache is stocked with a bunch of coins. Please swap coin for coin. If you take one, plan on leaving one! If you do not have a coin to swap, then just do a discover on the coin and leave it for the next person. Thank you!
