Dan called, wondering if there were any quick caches we could go find. After thinking a bit, I suggested Asco, CA and Ailurophobia.
We first drove to Niles Canyon to hunt down Ailurophobia. I had been here before, but left because of an encounter with a guy that made me uncomfortable. I’m glad Dan was along to retrieve it. I could have, but it was easier and safer for him. It’s high up in tree and requires some scrambling. Opening the cache while perched up high might not be a good idea. It’s like a jack-in-the-box.
As we were leaving the parking area, I suggested grabbing a few in Mission San Jose, especially ones I had DNF’d.
I quickly found Mission M&M cache. I’m convinced it was gone when I previously looked. We had to look for a while for YOU’VE GOT MAIL, but at least it was not busy today like it was the day I checked out the area. Janet finally found it. In the corner of a planter area.
I used the Honda navigation system to easily get to Palm Overcross. I found it after a methodical search.
Dan found McPark&Ride, spotting it while searching another area. Coords seemed to indicate the palm tree, but it was stuck in the top of the no dumping sign.
We came back through Pleasanton, where I quickly found Asco, CA. This was in the middle of an old railroad bed and there wasn’t much to hide it in.
