Just north of San Francisco...

I have a few geocoins on my desk that I use for paperweights. Folks ask about them all the time. It's kinda fun to watch their eyes glaze over as I explain what they are.

That is way cool! Would you consider sharing a copy of the plans?

Here's a big one I went to last year near Yosemite National Park.
Here's one I saw just last weekend while on a snowshoe hike in the Sierra Nevada's near Loon Lake.

Thanks! Your pocket query has been modified and currently results in 881 caches.

I have, over the years, cached with many a person who has figured out a puzzle. I was there for the find so I logged the cache. I admittedly have not solved many of the puzzles.

I suppose I'll be the first, and maybe only, to say they don't enjoy the puzzles. I want to enjoy them. I've tried a couple, but I just can't find it in me to have fun with them. I definitely admire those of you who can do puzzle after puzzle, I wish I could hang. Now, give me a nice long hike with some wicked terrain, lots of rocks, a few snakes, a large river to cross, and a broken trail? Now that's my idea of an ejoyable challenge.
I'll probably try a puzzle here and there in the future, but they won't be a regular deal for me in the forseeable future.
I'm with you J. If I wanted to solve puzzles I would go to puzzle.com. I came here to geocache!

I took a trip to Hawaii to visit my father a couple of years ago and he asked me if I wanted to go see all the tourist stops and he would be my guide. I just held up my GPSr and said "This is my tour guide" and I took off for a great day of sightseeing via geocaching. It worked out great, and I saw some spots that most visitors to the islands miss!

Gold would be very nice! Coins, bars...it doesn't matter.

I have a cache similar to this. I took a Duck hunting decoy and cut the bottom so it was like a door and put a decon up inside the duck. It has gotten good reviews and no digging involved.

"Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. TFTC"
What annoys me about these logs is that I'm forced to read an advertisement if I want to read the actual content of the log - if any. In this example, it's an utter waste of time.
And even though I don't know what a Trimble is, I know I don't want one.
From their website:
Trimble provides positioning solutions enabling professionals in engineering and construction, surveying, agriculture, fleet management and field service to be more productive by revolutionizing their work processes.
Trimble is transforming the way work is done through the application of innovative positioning. Trimble uses GPS, lasers, optical, and inertial technologies, as well as wireless communications and application specific software to provide complete solutions that link positioning to productivity.

Thinking a little more about it, I'm not necessarily friendly looking to ladies in their late 40's to early 50's who are by themselves or with kids as I drive up to them in my car and start talking to them. That may have been a factor...
I agree, you are a little scary looking Jay

what do YOU bring that's diffrent or you think is essential?
Tequila and beer.
AMEN!!!

If you are coming down I-5 (or up) just north of Redding in Dunsmuir, Big Spring - Lost and Found (GCPVF2) is a real gem. Easy to get to and a real nice find!

Wow Dadfish, one of your Pillsbury caches was one of the caches that inspired me to think about this one. BigD and I were talking about making a Pillsbury run sometime in the next month or so. One of the stages I was planning on was out that direction, just not that far out.
I'm okay with seldom visits, it seems even the urban caches here don't get hit very often. I'm leaning more and more towards enjoying those that are a little more difficult, and am trying to lean towards "hide what you like to find."
Uhhhh..... Twin Peaks? Is that the one I'm thinking of? Maybe...
Yea, Twin Peaks is mine. Easy finds, long drive. You'll love the final!

I've got a few multi's down here where I live and up in your area (Lake Pillsbury) also. And lately I've noticed that if you place any cache where the person has to do more than one stage per smilie or walk on dirt, your looking at very few finds per year.
-
I've used the stuff from these folks and It worked pretty well. I don't know how much it costs. I work for a printing company and I got some for free.

Develop two puzzles that require knowledge of something truly obscure -- computer programming, higher math, or twisted leaps of logic always seem to be popular. Take a couple of very small containers. Leave one 50 feet in a tree after walking two thirds of the way up one side of a mountain. Put one of your puzzles in there. Then hike 5 miles up the other side of the mountain (one way), bushwhack to some overhanging rocks, scramble up to the top by following a deer trail (if you can find it) but be sure to add some decent rock climbing. Leave the other container there. Make sure that neither container can be seen. If you find yourself face to face with a rattlesnake it will add even more mystique. Publish it as a multistage mystery cache, using one of your puzzles to get you to the first stage, requiring the finder to solve the second to get to the final. If you do it right, you will develop a loyal following.
I've done that cache!!!
How is your geocaching name pronounced?
