Sugar N’ Spice

Made this jaunt out to Sycamore Grove with Dan and Janet. They had already found Sugar N’ Spice, so they just watched me make the attempt. It was pretty quick.

On the way out, we picked up the first part of Fisherwoman’s Reprise. This is a multi-cache, which means you must go to multiple locations. However, I didn’t note the coordinates—will have to pick them up another time.

C Monster, Henry’s Hidden Box, Cache Cow DNF

Made an attempt to find Cache Cow. No luck. It’s an area of jumbled brush and trees and a thick carpet of fallen leaves.

C Monster is in Shadow Cliffs park. Turns out there is a little known access point off of Vineyard Avenue (room for about 3 cars to park free). It’s just a short walk to these caches.

Henry’s Hidden Box is a kid friendly cache, easy to get to and easy to find. The trail skirts the edge of dense growth around the water, sort of reminding me of a California jungle.

Saturn, Titan, and Sweet Baboo

Dan (Geodanimal at geocaching.com) called today and wanted to go cache hunting.

We headed off for Northern CA Solar System Model: Planet Saturn and Northern CA Solar System Model: Titan. Since the Sun is centered in San Jose, we figured these two had to be close together to stay in scale. The GPSr led us to a trail that Karen and I often use on our morning bike rides. Finding the cache proved a bit harder. We looked all over the place and even had a jogger stop and ask us if we were looking for crawdads like the kids were the day before. Finally, Dan found Titan, which gave us the clue as to where Saturn must be, and Janet, being a bit more agile than me, immediately found it.

Next, we headed across town to find Sweet Baboo’s Home Run. This led us to a sport’s park and I thought the GPSr was going to lead to the score board. But, it didn’t. This one didn’t take long to find.
