+D AND A Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 We will be in San Diego in a few weeks after a cold winter in Iowa. Any suggestions for a good area to geocache? We like something more than the magnetic holder on a street sign, but not too terribly strenuous. It would be great if the drive got a to an area where there were enough caches to keep us busy for several hours. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment

It would be great if the drive got a to an area where there were enough caches to keep us busy for several hours. Thanks for your help! Sandy Creek Cowboy caches and La Fantasma de los Cruces. Believe me, no little pile of rocks nor hanging Bison tubes and no strenuous hiking ... more like a graduate course in Geocaching. They are located off of I-8 about forty miles east of downtown San Diego as the crow flies. Some dirt road but well maintained for any vehicle and in the scenic ranch country of San Diego County. For the Sandy Creek Cowboy caches just do numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 16. For No. 3 you need a ladder so maybe that's not for you; however, you'll be near it when at La Fantasma. That leaves out three other cowboy caches ... No. 1 is nothing fancy and is a definite uphill hike, No. 9 is pretty ordinary, and No. 13 might not suit your rental vehicle. You'll find a lot to learn about San Diego County history within the cache descriptions. I'll just bet that you can round up a local group for the cowboy caches if you post your intended schedule. Of course I'm biased but do ask around about the cowboy caches. And yes, ... real cowboys ... ranches, horses, roundups, and a whole lot of tall tales t' tell. Yeehaw!

Hello...please tell us what kind of caching you like to do and we'll point you in a good direction. The Sandy Creek Cowboy caches are indeed a blast. Tell us if you like puzzles, to hike, to bike, to drive, to walk. We have it all here. What area of San Diego will you be staying? Will you be mobile? We could keep you busy here for 2 months let alone 2 hours.... Edited February 19, 2011 by jahoadi and john Quote Link to comment

+Team Reid Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm sure the Sandy Creek Cowboys would love to have a few city slickers frequent their caches! We'll be heading out on Sunday the 13th. We'll probably meet at the Buckman Springs offramp around 9ish. I'll see if I can locate a ladder. Looks like we'll have a group of at least 5 vehicles. 4WD is not necessary, but we will be on a dirt road. They are incredibly fun caches with smiles and laughter at each one.

Of course this torrential rain we've been having might well rut the roads a bit but what else might one expect of cowboy country? Keep in mind ... no hints from previous finders are allowed. Watching a new crop of finders make the needed discoveries is icing on th' cowboy cake. Might need a few replacement logsheets due to the recent heavy rain, or at least a battery-operated blow dryer.

Watching a new crop of finders make the needed discoveries is icing on th' cowboy cake. Might need a few replacement logsheets due to the recent heavy rain, or at least a battery-operated blow dryer. One thang f'r shore ... when wind, rain, and snow come to Sandy Creek Ranch they do come in good measure. Y'all have fun y' hear, Harmon SD Rowdies & Sandy Creek Cowboys Hey, Harmon, a few of The Thirsty Ladies are going too! After meeting up with you on the trail and chatting about the series, we just had to get Robyn to organize this! Maybe that will persuade you to come along? OMG! not only Team Fatman but Robyn and The Thirsty Ladies as well, my ship has finally come in. Still I'm confused ... is there one or two groups? John mentioned the 12th and Robyn mentioned the 13th. Sounds like I'll need a bedroll. Lemme think this through ... either go with Team Fatman and FATTBOY or go with Robyn and The Thirsty Ladies ... PHTT! Take a guess ... this one is a no-brainer. I can see it now, what with the late rainstorms the wildflowers might be showing in time for the outing. Imagine me pickin' posies for Robyn and The Thirsty Ladies. Funny thing is that we haven't heard back from Iowa on this deal. Maybe we scared them off or else they like Jodi better than me. Life is good, Harmon SD Rowdies & Sandy Creek Cowboys Dos Desperados! I'll make sure the first aid kit is ready to go since Ol' Harmon bleeds like a stuck pig...turkey.. :lol: Quote Link to comment

+SD Rowdies Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm sure the Sandy Creek Cowboys would love to have a few city slickers frequent their caches! We'll be heading out on Sunday the 13th. We'll probably meet at the Buckman Springs offramp around 9ish. I'll see if I can locate a ladder. Looks like we'll have a group of at least 5 vehicles. 4WD is not necessary, but we will be on a dirt road. They are incredibly fun caches with smiles and laughter at each one. Hope you all can join us! Robyn of Team Reid Robyn, You have been such a faithful follower of the Sandy Creek Cowboy caches. Through you so many others have had the fun and pleasure of those crazy hides. Good to mention that the dirt roads are suitable for a Buick Roadmaster ... planed and sanded dirt in good condition. Of course this torrential rain we've been having might well rut the roads a bit but what else might one expect of cowboy country? Keep in mind ... no hints from previous finders are allowed.

+LeoGeo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 If you want natural scenery without leaving the city, Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve is a wonderful 6-mile-long natural oasis surrounded by (but isolated from) residential and commercial neighborhoods, and is well-stocked with caches, including a few Earthcaches. You could easily spend a whole day taking in the beautiful scenery and finding caches. There are also a couple of historic adobe ranch houses, one of which played a small part in the US-Mexican War of the 1840s. You can enter the canyon at several places; to go in from the east, park at the stated coords of "Welcome to PQ, Puzzle Canyon North", and take the trail south and then west. Another entrance, more in the middle of the canyon, is at "Park Village Cache". The western entrance is accessible from the parking lot just to the southeast of "WalkNCache: 1998". There's a map at http://www.penasquitos.org/map.htm showing the preserve and the places where you can cross the stream that runs through it. The website also has info about which stream crossings are actually passable (sometimes they get washed out). If you do go to "PQ", be sure not to miss the cache "Maddi's Funhouse." It's inside a natural tree-and-boulders "fort" that is sure to be a hit with the kids (even if the "kids" are grownups). And very near it is "The Toybox," a very old cache -- serial number GC20B -- over ten years old now! If you need a guide for this area I think I could be persuaded :-) to leave my desk and take a hike! Quote Link to comment

+LeoGeo Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 One addendum to my post about Peñasquitos Canyon. Check the website first to be sure the trails are open. If it's been raining a lot recently -- as often happens this time of year -- they're closed until they dry out. Quote Link to comment

+The Lost Clan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here's a picture of the group that did a tour of the Sandy Creek Cowboy caches last Sunday. What a wonderful time we had - lots of laughs and giggles! I think the three new cachers that joined us were very impressed. Of course, we had to explain to them that not all caches are as exciting and well thought-out as the ones in this series! Quote Link to comment

+D AND A Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 We enjoyed our vacation and got some geocaching in. Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly the weather did not cooperate for when we had planned to some of the more scenic geocaches. I guess we will just have to plan another trip to San Diego. D and A Quote Link to comment
