Actually, the day was beautiful, but the geocaching was dismal. I proposed to the co-pilot (Karen) that we hike at Las Trampas and find a number of the caches hidden there. I didn’t give her enough warning and she had lots of other things already planned. So I went alone, but decided not to go to Las Trampas. I’ll leave those for when she can go.
I only scored 3 out of 9 tries. Man, I hate micros.

I had scoped out Tired of Micros a couple of weeks ago, but with the number of people around it didn’t seem a good idea to do a search. This morning there were kids in the playground and climbing over and under a large eucalyptus limb that had fallen during the night, but they all seemed to be preoccupied. I found it in the first place I looked–it looked like the most promising place, but it was also a lucky choice.

An Old Adobe is a virtual cache at the Kottinger Barn. Kottinger married into the Bernal family and began farming 4,500 acres received as his wife’s dowry. This is the first time I have ever stopped to look at this old structure. Identification of a large object attached to the south side of the barn is part of the cache.

It’s Modern is an interesting steel structure. The biggest problem with this cache (I think) is finding legal parking. I tried to do a night find here a while back, but couldn’t figure out the parking. Finding both parking and the cache was straightforward today.
