November cache hunting

4 Nov 2008 9:33 PM Venona 2008 activities begin

The annual Venona puzzle activities started with a real geocache this year. It was a cipher and was solved by the GBA master puzzlers. Since Dan and I were close to the cache we headed out to retrieve the hint contained in it, and also claimed FTF on it.

9 Nov 2008 9:33 PM High Lakes 4×4 for a fizzy square

I rode along with mjp303 to the High Lakes OHV area east of Chico to get High Lakes OHV Area, Morris Lake Overlook. Snow, mud, water, big rocks—all made for quite an adventure. It wasn’t prudent to drive all the way, so we walked the last third of a mile. I’m really disappointed that we didn’t go to High Lakes OHV Area, Long Lake, since we were within a mile. If I go back for this one, I can probably get within 2 or 3 miles with my Ridgeliine, if I’m careful.
