+WWonka Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'll be in LA for the E3 expo with limited transportation and would like to get recommendations of some caches to hunt while I'm in town. Primarily I would be interested in caches near my hotel in Universal City and the LA Convention Center. Any recommendations? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Unfortunately, there isn't a lot close to either area. Universal City: 101 South by rockitz (GCK40K) Universal View by Wherearewe? (GCJ31K) (2mi up in the hills) LarsThorwald's Psycho! by LarsThorwald (GCA8AD) LA Convention Center: Central Library by GeoCraig (GCM871) The City of the Angels by Saros (GC3975) (Long virtual multi, but good if you are taking the Metro line) Awed Couples by Eagle Rock Rob (GCMX8A) (Funky puzzle, do your homework) Howling Coyote Wilderness by GeoCraig (GCHMQ2) The closest to either location is 0.5mi away. Universal is a tough area to place caches. The LACC is easier, so lemme see if I can help get some coverage over there. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 You might also check to see if your hotel has any free beach or mall shuttles. Also, if you are feeling adventurous, check out caches near bus routes and metro stops. Quote Link to comment

If not, the recommended caches near the Convention Center can easily be reached on the DASH bus--it's only 25 cents. The City of Angels is a multi and it will take you a while. Do your homework for Awed Couples (I recommend www.imdb.com) before you try it and then it is very straightforward. My Central Library cache and Howling Coyote Wilderness cache both have photo hints. Howling is almost impossible without the photo hints. If you need some help, please let me know. I work a block away from the Central Library. If you have some free time at lunch I can go with you to a cache or two if you would like a guide. Quote Link to comment
