Livermore, CA
We failed to find Dead Drop 238 last Sunday. Today I caught Venona in an unguarded moment and he said a bit more than I asked. So we took up the trail where we lost it last Sunday, and it took us to… a place we had already discovered. However, knowing we were absolutely at the right spot, we searched more diligently and came up with the cache. First find since the large group found it on opening night, December 3, 2004.
From the second stage, there were two reflectors on a tree across the creek, up kind of high. We crossed the creek here last Sunday, but didn’t shine the lights up high, and frankly, weren’t looking for reflectors there.
The reflectors took us right to the post stenciled with the V. With quite a search for a reflective surface, Janet found a small 1″ diameter mirror in the grass across the creek. We couldn’t hold the laser still, but estimated that it was reflecting onto the bridge, and found the cache in one of the box beams.
