Dan, Janet, and I spent the day in San Jose. We started with an event at the Sonoma Chicken Coop in Campbell and it was fun to see a few of the cacher acquaintances again. We concluded the event with a Venona activity (to rescue a hostage geocaching banner), but interestingly, the folks who know how to do ciphers and stuff didn’t bring their tools (laptops). Fizzy finally gave an answer and with a little work the coords were derived. A bunch of us hiked over to a parking structure to make the recovery. (And I forgot to bring the camera from the car).
Afterward, we found another dozen nearby caches, including the notable AN 2.5 and AN 8 (Assume Nothing caches are known for incredible camoflauge).
We did a 2.8 mile hike along the Los Gatos Creek trail, so I’ll count Where’s the dam cache? as my find for the San Jose West quad in the Bay Area Quad Challenge. That puts me to 10 quads and 26.8 miles total hiking.
