I needed 3 caches to reach 700, and there were 3 caches just up Las Trampas Ridge from Danville, so…
I think today is the first solo caching hike I have done since mid-July and Karen’s diagnosis with breast cancer. I started by stopping in the Danville Livery shopping center for I can’t Livery without you, but it’s too busy during shopping hours, since it’s right in front of the stores.
I wasn’t sure where the trailhead was that I needed, but seemed like it would be right up Remington Loop, which runs right by the Livery. And, it was.
The hike up to Went to FL & All I got was a Lousy T- Shirt Cache was about 0.6 miles and all up hill. Found it at 1:40 PM. I went on to Leo and Sag, which I got at 1:58 PM. Finally I found Take This Job and Shove It, with a little more difficulty than the previous ones (2:14 PM). This one was in a thicket of bushes and hidden in a camo bag which I thought was a rock when I first saw it. This was find #700.
After coming down from the ridge, I drove over to Osage Park to look for It took long enough again. I was nearly stumped again, even though Blue iis had given me a hint that significantly narrowed the search area. Finally found it at 3:09 PM. What threw me off was that I kept looking for a container that had the fairly large dimensions mentioned in the description hint. There is no container, or log to sign. It’s just a laminated card stuck behind a magnetic sign stuck to the ball-field equipment box.
After shopping at Trader Joes in Pleasanton, I ran over to get Rexy’s Book Swap at 3:55 PM. The biggest challenge was getting through the brush and down into the gully.
