One of the things I really love about geocaching is the experience of finding a cache in a location that inspires me to stop, admire the view, and make a watercolor sketch. I also enjoy making artistic travel bugs, and I am currently working on a caching video.

Passage to India
Passage to India (GCQXAF)
Hidden by PDX55 San Francisco, California Near Hunter's Point
Found October 30, 2005
Chaos can sometimes intrigue me and a power plant fulfills that need. There is just something about a jumble of smoke stacks and ramps that brings out the wonder in me. I wonder what it would be like to ride the ramp or run up and down all those stairs. "Where would I end up?" I ask myself.

This area looks like a great setting for a detective type movie. I half way expected to see Chuck Norris leap out of his car and go running down the street with cops in tow. I also enjoyed the large worn out warehouses, abandoned railways, and old train cars
Found myself in a prickly situation so I had to call a friend. Turns out either my GPS, the coords or the satellites had their own idea where the cache was hidden. I was happy to see the cache is not hidden in the garden and there is no need to trample the plants or get poked. Very good hide. I don't think a muggle will ever look there. Loved the beautiful garden!

For weeks I had been wondering what in the world a "Sky Can" was and went wild with my imagination.I got all excited about this cache because I was sure that a “Sky Can” was another name for a “gondola.” Darn! I was ready to buy an E ticket and everything.
Well despite the fact I was not able to fulfill my dreams of riding the skies, I was still very interested in this landmark. The can was quite pristine. In fact a little too pristine for my taste. I think a little rust would have been in order or perhaps at least a flying can opener would have complimented the scene.
Libbys makes me think of the good ole TV dinner days when life was a little simpler and "Leave it to Beaver" shows were considered high excitement.
