+CoronaKid Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I'm fairly new at this sport and I was wondering if some Socal cachers could list some of their favorite southern California caches. I live in Corona and work in Torrance, so if you know of any good ones close to these areas that would be nice. --CoronaKid Quote Link to comment
husqui Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 quote:Originally posted by CoronaKid:I live in Corona and work in Torrance.... --CoronaKid That's a gosh-danged long commute! You're in the car for, what, 3 hours a day? Unfortunately, I haven't done any caches in either of those two areas but from what I've read, there seems to be a lot of cool caches by the Palos Verdes peninsula. Quote Link to comment
+CoronaKid Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 ...fortunately I work from 5 am to 2 pm, so it's usually only a little over an hour each way. Of course, if there's a bad accident on the 91 then things get UGLY. In this job market I was forced to commute in order to earn some decent money. Now getting back to the cache discussion: Yes, I have started doing a few of the Palos Verdes caches during my lunch hour. So far they've been great, especially "As the Whales Go By." I had a lot of fun with that one. For now I'll probably stick with all the caches within the Corona area. There are actually quite a few that look interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. --CoronaKid Quote Link to comment
targetdrone Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 hmm. So many good ones. Jokeal 3, by the Corona airport. Juice It Up 2 Jokeal 2 There were many others that I had fun doing, but those tend to come from doing things the hard way, or finding them with other cachers. I tend to appreciate them more when I have to work harder to get them. Quote Link to comment
+carivercpl Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 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...

+chaosmanor Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 we live in Vnetura County, where there are some great caches, but that won't help you much, I guess. We know of several good caches in San Pedro and the Peninsula. Try "Wolves Howling at the Moon" (GC86D); almost two years old and still going strong. The park it is in has a lot to see. "Double Decrypt" (GC21ED) is a good puzzle cache; you have to do some research to figure out where to go. More in your area, there are some much-hunted caches in Silverado and nearby areas. Too bad this hobby didn't exist when we lived in Riverside; oh, well. BTW: if you are ever in Thousand Oaks, check out TRUROKR's "Temp Cache" (GC8F61): a marvelous camo-job Quote Link to comment
blocko1000 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 In Long Beach there is the Pickled Egg cache. I like this one because of the creativity involved with it. Check it out, it will probably give you some ideas about hiding caches. Quote Link to comment
Swagger Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 If you feel like taking a longish drive on a Saturday or Sunday, I highly recommend taking a drive up to Santa Barbara for Cinco de Mayo. It's a fantastic multi-cache that takes you to some great places. While you're driving to the various legs of the cache, you can get a few others, too. Worth the drive. -- Pehmva!

adampierson Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I'm a bit greener in this hobby than you. But my favorite caches so far have been Vacman's Rhombic http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=50035 But I've just discovered that it has been archived! Another cache is the Zillion Dollar view http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e0b606f3-8f95-49a9-8bfd-ac203ae2fa14 Both of these caches have a wonderful view of the coast. ---- Chivalry: A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day... and you embrace it as a lifestyle.
