Cupertino, California

4:52 Came here after attending a picnic at Stevens Creek. This was my favorite cache of the day. L-grl spotted it right after a muggle asked her if she needed help. In the meantime I was eyeing the naked pigs sleeping so peacefully in the dirt. We also watched the 4H girls clean the stalls. They are much stronger than they look! You should have seen them push the wheelbarrows around! We also admired the cute little goatlings, and also checked out the nearby garden. This place is a treasure.

Until I can figure out to show my film in Blogger I will simply provide a link.
This five minute film is a comedy that pokes fun at geocachers, but it also contains clues to finding my cache GCZTA2

Hidden by DCexplorerDoor County, Wisconsin

Found June 14, 2006

On the way back to Madison from Sister City where we vacationed for a few days, we stopped at Bailey's Harbor to view this lighthouse.

I noticed that the lake on this side is quite choppy compared to the western side of the peninsula.

California

Found May 29, 2006

This was my favorite cache of Memorial Day weekend just because this town reminds me of the town in the science fiction film called "Tremors." I love towns in the middle of nowhere that are only one block long. This one did not even have a store, certainly no stop lights, and no cars, AND no people!! The town did contain a post office and a very small church. Loved it.

Travel Bug: Nurse Hanes (Front)

2006-03-01T18:14:00.000-08:00

This project is not a watercolor but it is something I designed for the geocaching world. It a travel bug made with collaged scraps, photos, camo tape, metal and acrylic paints.

I used a CD case I received in the mail from AOL and transformed it into a "book." What you see here is the front of the travel bug.

Found February 25, 2006

This was my favorite cache of the day. I loved your description of it, CKayaks. I have always thought of nature as my church too. This area did look like the interior of a cathedral the way the branches met each other to form a ceiling. Thank you for all your help in planning my route today and this wonderful place.

I was delighted to soak in the sunshine and hunt for this cache. I would like nothing better than to live in a converted train station and live by the sea.

Came here with a friend and after touring the museum. I had to wait practically all day for the muggles to clear off of ground zero. But no matter, the real value was the placement of the cache. You must see this pool!

Fisherman's Wharf

Found Dec 3,2005

Came here just before dusk with six other partiers, I mean cachers to celebrate PDX55’s birthday! It was hoot to find the camera and then pose for the shot. We all stood there smiling up at the sky in a close knit group. I wonder if the tourists noticed there was no one with a camera aimed at us. Perhaps we looked like we were about to sing Christmas carols. Just like in the Amazing Race, after the photo shoot we raced to two different cabs for our trek to the hotel and then to dinner. We had great fun indeed. This place has so much to see. I enjoyed the tower and the seals especially, and decided to make a watercolor sketch.

Hidden by GeoWomyn_SF_CA
Fremont, California

This is a sketch I just created for my own cache series called Ardenwood Scrabble. Ardenwood is a fabulous historical park with plenty to see and do.

Your visit will feel as if you have journeyed back to the 1870s. You will see beautiful gardens, orchards, forests, farm animals, peacocks, pullwagons, a Victorian mansion, cooking demos (during special events), a blacksmith shop and more! Adults and children alike will enjoy this place.

This park is absolutely gorgeous in the fall and made even better by the caches hidden in this park. I was enchanted by this bridge and decided to make a watercolor sketch of it for my geocache journal.

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.

Hunter's Point, San Francisco

Found October 30, 2005

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

Prickly Garden

Hidden by Linc-Clan
Palo Alto, California

Found October 19, 2005

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!

Sky Can

Sky Can
(GCQNPV)

Hidden by L-grl
Sunnyvale, California

Found October 7th, 2005

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.

Pescadero, California

We enjoyed a piece of the best peach pie ever made at Duartes. Their table wine and shrimp and cheese sandwich wasn’t half bad either. The wall paneling, linoleum, and close eating quarters enhanced our dining experience. Next we enjoyed the smells of the nearby bakery housed in a small grocery store.

All the places of this multi-cache were within walking distance of each other. At the James McCormick house we were amused by all the monkey tails on the tree. Our last visit was to this pretty church that was located next to a creek.

Hidden by TBD&D
Half Moon Bay, California

Found Sept 18, 2005

I have wondered for a long time what this place was like. There is so much to see here. I especially liked the old gas pump that sold gas for 35 cents. The kids were having a blast playing on the double decker bus and were pretending a tidal wave was about to hit!
