Two great days of caching in Poway and Escondido

One of our first stops was a wonderful park where we did a short Multi-cache by Parsa. He had just restocked the cache, so it was full of "Lorenzo's Gold."



From there we found another cache that was near this most amazing sculpture garden. I had seen a special on our local PBS station about this woman's sculpture, but I had never seen her works up close.













Extraordinary!

Too bad her creative, energetic life was cut short by illness caused by working with ceramics for years and years without using a respirator or dust mask.

After taking lots of pictures here, we attempted a Dan-oh multi-cache. We found the first waypoint, but had no luck finding the second one after quite a long time of searching.

From there we went on to look for a couple of other wonderfully creative and cammoed Dan-oh caches. Two of the great ones are "Urban Legends I - Choking Doberman" and "Urban Legends II - The Scooped Diver."



Another one of his Urban Legend caches that was based on the story of the Alligators in the sewers of New York had to be archived when the creature that held the cache scared a cacher so much that he dropped it into the sewer.

Toward the end of a long day, we had a three of DNFs. One had poor coordinates and a vague clue. The other one might be a clever hide, but those coordinates were also bad. We used some from a previous log to narrow down our search, although I expanded my search considerably, but we still didn't find it. The third one is apparently there, but it was in a very public, muggle-full location. If we get back there, I have a good hint now from the cache owner.

One cache that was almost a DNF was near this sign . . .



All I could say when I saw that was "Huh?" This is Southern California. "Icy?" Oh well . . .

Another DNF we had was at the "Trickery Tree." We were definitely having tricks played on us there. There was a homeless encampment there, but no one had been around for a while, so we tried to find the cache. Instead, we found an unopened Altoids tin in a ziplock bag with a note on the top that said, "Congrats, You found it. Signed Geotherm." The second time for me to say, "Huh?"

One of the last caches of the day was a lame micro near another homeless encampment next to a very noisy freeway. I'm not sure why that one was placed there . . .




Wednesday there were some brand new caches we decided to go after. There was little chance we would be FTF, but we were close on one where the coordinates were off by 80 feet.

I got to see a really wonderful old church in Poway that I wouldn't have known about if it hadn't been for Geocaching.



Later in the day we went to the Bernardo Winery and the Orfila winery. I'll post some pictures from those locations later on.

It was a great two days of caching and I'm already up to 641 caches found.
