Not in Roswell or Area 51, just monumented at the top of a cement silo at the Port, Redwood City, CA.

Whoa, that is especially impressive, in comparison to other agencies that would choose to eliminate alternative activites on the lands they manage.

Geocaching "tutorial" events in other areas - just this month Davis has "Back to School with RCGDS" and LA has "Computer Caching 101".
I know all of us Silicon Valley types disdain to read the manual and would need a nifty disguise to attend such a thing but can anyone 'fess up to attending this type of event? If so was it well attended and informative?
Hynr did the Davis tutorial before the RCGDS potluck. He is an academic department chair, and he knows his way around a podium and Powerpoint presentation. The content covered pocket queries, GSAK, and downloading to Delorme or Microsoft maps. Bueno!

Goodness, you've already done _the_ hike, Ohlone. Coe is a very good suggestion. Back in the day, George of georegeandmary rode mtn bike extensively there; he mentioned Mississippi Lake. May be hot, and they have those pesky mountain lions. Skyline to the Sea trail is cooler right now. Way east, ChuGuy has some caches near Emigrant Wilderness; 20 miles in and out.

Congrats on the 1K, Bob. Way to cache!

Maybe putting a face to things helps.
Geocachers SBUX, CCCooper, and Mtn-man.
So I'm 2000 miles away from home, pushing through the underbrush towards a still unseen cache, and who do I come across? Just the top cache finder on the planet.

My Specialized Rockhopper with a R.S. Duke XC fork, alas, stolen. The memory lives on as lock keys: travel bug Stolen Bike.

We had a good time in Nashville!
Can't say enough good things about the weekend. Thanks for the invite, JoGPS! Met all the megacachers. Grabbed 185-190 in 17 hours of hunting, due to the heroic efforts of Mosestron and GrannyLani. 300 on the weekend gives me a backlog of 400 (!). It will give me a chance to rest my blown out kneecaps.

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so cache hungry I could fly
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me...

I'll be in SFO from Georgia for the JavaOne convention this Sunday-Wednesday and plan to get in a few caches while I'm there.
My preferences are regular caches that involve some easy hikes (1.5-3) to get to and/or have a nice view for photography.
Have to pitch my Es Effo GCBC09 and Columba GCGH5J (print the pictures!). Can also highly recommend the Embarcadero waterfront, including Waterfront GCE731 and either of Frankenlurch's Sister Mary histories GCG8PV or GCJBBK (require stealth at final). Remember, you can hop the F-line historic trolleys from Market St to Fisherman's Wharf. Sounds by the Bay GC30CB has wonderful views of the GG Bridge. LooneyTune's WPA Lillie's GC136C has Coit Tower views and Depression Era art. The Twin Peaks triplet of GCCF74, GC46E4, and GC78A5 should be caught before the afternoon fog.

And wow, Beckerbuns and NurseDave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kudos and congrats: to M&J for 3000; to Motorbug, Boulter, and Bykenut for 1000, and to kablooey for almost 2000 and DavidT & Fisherwoman for almost 2500.

Hey Pepper, hope to catch you. I'm going to be at the Portland caching thingy this weekend, so maybe I'll see y'all.

Moving cache GCD118 Going to a Giants Game is waiting wishfully at GCBC09 Es Effo Bug Hotel in Millbrae. The cache also contains a travel bug, ironically called Moving Cache. Will a fan please take the logbook and some contents to a game?
Notes Left On Sierra Summits Are Vanishing

Need to do maint on those MIA caches.
Summit registers are an existing social, traditional, and historical usage of container and logbook in our National Parks. Sure wish that would extend to geocaches.
The Whitney register is about the size of a hotel register book and it must get swapped out after a couple of months. The missing Langley register was probably one of those nice cast aluminum Sierra Club boxes that's usually bolted to rock. GCKRQX is on the To-Do list for next summer.
