Mr. Vic

Fall starts Sunday. -Mark Will cache for food

Yep, it's a neat hike however, if it is hot bring plenty of water and your swim trunks. It's a great swimming hole. The hike down is fairly easy but it is all uphill coming back. Dad did this one without me and it is his first, so be gentle. I think this would also qualify for your Natural Arches Locationless cache. -Mark. Will cache for food

quote:Mr. Vic, I want to see the picture too. Email it on over. Will do once I upload them from my camera. I've been lazy. I'll try to remember to bring it to work tomorrow and do it from there on my lunch hour. Figured out the More than Math coordinates today and tried to find it without my gps - Rockman Style. No luck. I don't know how you do so consistently. -Mark. Will cache for food

quote:Originally posted by SuperGenius:did you get a pic? It would be nice to know what it looked like when you arrived being FTF. It was still nice when I arrived with only five left. I did take some pics but they DO NOT do the site justice. Will posts pics when the last one is pick up. Pepper Horizontals where it's at! Yea, I haven't uploaded it from my camera yet so I'm not sure how it turned out. I'll post it after the last crystal has been found. (I don't want to give away the location.) -Mark.

quote:Pepper, I couldn't agree with you more. This was a really unique find, and after about 5 minutes of searching, the beauty of the find was breathtaking. I really should have taken photos so that after they are all gone, the people who weren't lucky enough to find this would be able to see what all the fuss was about. --Marky (fellow magical crystal holder) Having also hit over 100 caches, this one ranks up there amoungst my favorites! My son and I were fortunately the FTF on this one and the site of the setting sun on 15+ crystals was magical. The crystals were much nicer than I expected. Very creative! Thanks Rundex! -Mark.

1148 from San Ramon, CA. We get San Francisco and parts of Sacramento. -Mark Will cache for food

Your first aid kit looks and sounds great. I'd love to come across one of those. Almost every cache I've hit (100+) has some form of give-away commercial item. Some better than others. -Mark. Will cache for food

Living on the East side of the San Francisco Bay area, almost every hill here has a cache on the top of it. I try to hit a 3+ terrain cache every weekend. Geocaching was also great for my mental health last year when I was out of work for 5 months. -Mark Will cache for food

Yep! I saw your cache post this morning and gave him a call. I got him into Geocaching a few months ago. He lives in Sonora and is totally into gold panning and prospecting...and now geocaching. Fool's Gold is the perfect cache for him. I'm going to help him place his first cache within the next couple of weeks at a place that would qualify for your Natural Arches Cache...stay tuned. I'm looking forward to checking out Fools Gold as well. -Mark. Will cache for food [This message was edited by Mr. Vic on September 02, 2002 at 08:00 PM.]

Max, I love Ardenwood and have also been there many times. With the amount of foot trafic and all of the gardeners keeping the place looking nice it is not really a place I would put a physical cache. It is however, a perfect place for a virtual cache. Come up with a list of questions that cachers would have to answer before they post. Also, make sure you indicate on the web page what the cost is to get in. My inlaws live nearby and will make it a point to "find" you cache once it's posted. -Mark. Will cache for food

I've thought about putting a cache in the EBMUD watershed area. There is alot of acres just begging for a few caches. The only problem is you need a permit to hike there. The permit is not too hard to get but it takes planning. I think a cache there would encourage people to chance hiking there without the permit. But maybe if you put the rules on the cache page and made any cacher prove they got a permit, it might work... -Mark. Will cache for food

Oh well maybe on the other side I just don't know. I would say I have a cache placement delima. "Why Not?" needs a home out in the wilderness, it's been hanging out the house far to long, what to do, what to do. Pepper, Devil's Hole in Las Trampas is begging for a cache! I'd give it 4 stars for Terrain. Wait for a cool day and bring LOTS of water. Pleasanton Ridge now only has one active cache (yours). Plenty of room there for more. There is also plenty of room on in Morgan Terr. on the West side of Morgan Territory Road. Just some thoughts... -Mark. Will cache for food

You're pretty lucky, I've only seen one rattler in Las Trampas and I've hiked there hundreds of times. I've yet to come across one in Sunol, however I have a cache hidden there and others have reported seeing a rattler nearby. (I've posted warnings.) I recently saw a huge one near New Melones Reservour near Angels Camp. I passed within 2-3 inches of it before it started rattling. Poked it with a stick a couple of times and it slithered away. (see my post for The Green Scarab cache) Anyway, I'll take a couple rattlesnakes over a tick any day of the week! -Mark. Will cache for food

Do you serve it with a dipping sauce? If so, what kind? I once ate fried rattlesnake in a restaraunt in Phoenix...tasted like chewy chicken! -Mark. Will cache for food

It was a joke son! Hence the ! I have nothing against responsible gun owners, or hunters. Just people who run around in the woods killing anything that moves out of fear, ignorance or stupidity. Will cache for food
