Geocaching on a quick trip to Riverside

I took advantage of a trip to a birthday party in Riverside to pick up three fizzy square type geocaches (the kind where to qualify you must have filled the 81 squares of the Difficulty/Terrain rating matrix). Two of them were in Riverside along the Santa Ana hiking/biking trail and one was near Sedco Hills east of Lake Elsinore. I learned that when I hand enter coordinates to the GPSr, I need to double check them because for the cache near Sedco Hills I was off by a couple of miles. The interesting thing is, it was a perfect place for a geocache. Anyway, it was a nice little side adventure.

Following this afternoon activity, we drove north only as far as Santa Clarita, hunted up a Mimi’s Café, and stayed the night in a comfortable motel. This way we didn’t have to fight any of the morning commute traffic.
