This morning I needed to go to Pleasanton to buy some things for Audree ’s birthday party, so I left early enough to hunt for a couple of caches.
First, I went back to Home Run, which I had unsuccessfully searched for on the night of October 29. This is the first time I have collided with another geocacher, so I discreetly waited out of sight until he had signed the log and replaced the cache. (From the geocache.com logs, it must have been Wacka) This micro is well disguised, but I had a good idea that I had been looking in the wrong spots before, and sure enough, I spotted it fairly quickly.
Next, I went after Western Scrub Jay which was just across the street. Not realizing that, I drove over, which I’m sure took twice as long as walking. This one was on the back side of a bunch of tennis courts, which were very active on a Saturday morning. Nevertheless, everybody on the courts was completely focused on the ball, so I could rummage around in the bushes without attracting attention. Surprisingly, this one took be a little while to find (although I did find a tennis ball rather quickly).
