+HCompleto Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Not a picture of mine, nor a train, but I've found a geocache in this little guy! Quote
+NYPaddleCacher Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 There used to be a nano cache here but it was archived a few years ago. It took me 3-4 attempts and well over 3 hours of searching before I finally found. You could not actually see the cache where it was hidden. It could only be found by feeling around in the right spot. Quote
+Touchstone Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Engine #1285, one of only two surviving switch engines from the 1920's of its class. Donated to the city of Monterey in the 1950's by S&P, and installed in Dennis the Menace Playground in Lake El Estero Park, it served as a piece of playground equipment for over 50 years, until a contentious report from a consulting firm during the playground renovation, led to the engine getting fenced off. Now just a piece of interesting history. I used the engine to fulfill an old Locationless Cache requirement: Quote

It's sad (but not surprising) that this locomotive is on its way out. Edited October 9, 2015 by niraD Quote

fendmar Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Nice catch or should that be nice cache? Quote
