A broken ankle...Well it start one April afternoon. The time just change, and guess what, there was a new cache near my work. Mrs. C and I thought we could make a FTF (Frist to Find), and to top it off, it was an Otis hide. It was Otis Pug 302 - The Art of Otis Pug II. Well silly us thought that we could be FTF that late in the day, yeh right. Well we drove to the area, and parked our truck. We unload our packs and venus the Rotty. The GPS said to east at about 700 feet, thats not bad. The trail was a little thin, but we have done worst, I mean at the time we had 66 finds, so we had this game down pat. Off we went and Mrs. C in front. We must of taken the single "goat" trail that Lou had also taken. About 3/4 of the way down this steep hill, Mrs. C lost her footing and thought she would add more adventure to this trip, and break her ankle. So after helping her down to the edge, where there was about a 15 foot drop off to the main trail. Well thats when we called 911. The fire department came, and they started their SAR Operations. They were having a hard time getting to her with a vehicle to get her out. But she was kind of happy, she was spending 5 hours in the dark, cold wilderness with twhat she said was "Two cute fireman". Right before they got her out, I took a rough head count of rescuers. There were about 17 fireman, 3 cops (one that was my shadow cuz I was kind of anxious) 2 ambulances. Oh I forgot two helicopter were circling above. Well after 5 hours, I saw Mrs. C from the jungles of Orange Counties wilderness parks. She indeed broke her ankle and spent a few weeks in a cast. This is just one of the memorable hunts we have had. Oh I amost forgot, the FTF goes to guess who, Fullon, and sir Mrs. C would like to see you and Otis in a dark alley someday This is a part of my journal from our web page www.scgeocachers.org Life Thru Geocaching...Geocaching Thru Life

I dont think I top what you said Kevin...Now I know why I am starting to dislike this forum...I think I will go geocaching now, unless someone whats to kick me in the teeth.. Life Thru Geocaching...Geocaching Thru Life

I have read in many of these logs if dont like the cache dont go for it...so if you dont want to hunt any caches hidden by these folks, then dont...just relax and let the rest of us hunt it...no reason to attack people...that not what this sport/game was designed for..my 2 cents worth...so now let the attacks on me begin.

Im still try and I cant get to it...but I'm sure it will kick in about midnight...so I guess no sleep tonight...hey maybe I'll start scouting out some caches for this weekend????

Hey Rich how about a spot on there to set up meeting of other cachers so they can meet for coffee or to tackle caches...

Would like to take my hat to Kevin and Susan. They took on OPERATION HIGH DESERT ADVENTURE and of beat it. Great Job guys. Look like it was a real adventure, and I am sorry I missed out on it. Again congrads. Go check it out, some great pics. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=46102

I went to both WO Hart in the city of orange and Huntington Beach Central Park....my view is both are clean...both have what is needed (ie bathrooms, tables, bbq and play ground for us kids) both allow dogs...oh and yes there are a ton of caches by both...Hart is a first come first serve...I went to where the OC Gathering was held in central and so we know about that...so just let me know...

I agree with Targetdrone...Done two and they are kid friendly and take the wife to Jokeal 2...try Husted park... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=47113 If you and your family would like to meet and "take on" a few let me know.... hey target...whats up look time no chat...

Sorry I have not been here lately, been working on guess what???...Today on my way to REI i stop and did a few caches and two were in a park called W.O. Hart...It between Cambridge and Glassell and the 22...It looked real clean and had benches, bbq, clean bathrooms, and there area a few caches in the park...not sure who goes there on the weekends...so i guess someone should check them out...ok tell ya what, tell me what parks we are look at and I'll run down there this weekend

carbon is cool...but the dogs cant go off the front road or the main area...i have n/p with that...venus can get lazy when she sees a hill...and as far as the date..n/p with either ones...

So i was on the right road...Great thanks...I will have to get up there this weekend...oing to try and hit a few out towards palm spings on wed...

Huntington Central Park...There is a dog park there that we go to every now and then...I understand that the park is dog friendly...If you would like I could go down there and look around...besides there are some caches down there I could knock out...
