Geocaches #308 & #309 on 4/10/11

Geocache #308

Veteran's Bridge

In Kelseyville we stopped and found our next cache, a pretty common type of hide in the guardrail of the 'Veteran Bridge' there.

So it was a quick stop and cache!!  Small container took nada, left a piggy eraser and STL.



Geocache #309

VGR2- Pluto

I found it!!



Continuing around the lake on Hwy 29 we came to a pullout in the  road that someone had placed a cache near.  GPS was iffy, cell reception almost non-extinct, and my iPhone battery almost gone.  We were trying to use Carrie's phone, but it was soooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooow.

Finally, was able to get to the decription/hint and logs.  Once we had that information the find was made pretty quickly by Carrie yet again!! 

Sign

base of bush

The hint:  Base of bush and aligned with top of sign helped a lot!!!

Cache was a bit low on SWAG so I decided not to take anything, left an angel pin and signed the log!!

4/1 Geocaching on the way to the airport #280

Friday morning I headed to Sacramento to the airport to fly to Colorado to see the children.  Leftearly enough to stop along the way and catch a few caches.


First one I stopped at was a cache that I had tried to find awhile back and it seems was a MIA back then most likely due to recent roadside restoration.  I was pretty sure then that it was a guardrail cache and the nearest end of the guardrail to ground zero had recently been refurbished.  I noticed on my through this time that the cache owners had replaced the cache and others had been finding it.  Parked the car and walked right up to it, had to reach a ways in to find it but there it was.  Kind of cool glueing the computer chips and such to the outside of the container!! 

Took nada, left one of the flower magnets that Candace, Alexis and I made last summer to use as SWAG.

Luckily as I was ready to head back and replace the log,traffic was clear.  Replaced and was soon on my way again.  I didn't eventurn the engine off while getting and replacing this cache.
