Trips
This was a nice hike for an overcast day. We hiked the loop in the counterclockwise direction starting on the Waiau Ridge Trail then looping back on the Halapepenui trail. We found 4 geocaches along the way. We didn't encounter much mud which made it much more pleasant. Apparently, this isn't a well traveled trail due to the over growth. We only saw two other hikers on the first portion of the...
An awesome trip to a mountaintop ridge with views of the Straights of JuanDeFuca, Victoria BC, Mt Baker, Glacier Peak, Seattle, Bangor, Mt Rainier, and Mt Adams, all from one spot. Glorious fog blown meadows, surrounded by snow capped peaks. And of course friends.
A group of twelve cachers from the Memphis area started a tradition of heading off somewhere for a weekend of hiking and caching in mid-January four years ago. The first year we went to The Walls Of Jericho on the Alabama-Tennessee border -- just north of Scottsboro, AL. The temperature never got above 28 degrees that day and the waterfalls in the canyon were frozen. We named our group for that trip...

Los Gatos, California, United States
Geocaching | 2.6 miles
Geocaching | 2.6 miles
There was a new Christmas-themed geocache placed up on St. Joe's Hill, which was the perfect excuse to get out for a short hike. With the promise of being able to trade for a present from the cache, I had no trouble convincing my 6-year old to go as well.It was a pleasant little hike. No difficulties for the kid, other than the usual "Are we almost there yet?" every two minutes....
After a month of warm temperatures today's weather was more seasonal. The afternoon temps were in the low 40's. Pretty comfortable for a walk in the woods. The eastern section of Willowdale State Forest consists of forested
glacial hills and eskers with numerous wetlands. The marshes are characterized by open water and are a prime habitat for waterfowl. Intermixed with the marshes are swamps which are somewhat drier and
can therefore support...
I hiked this loop to prepare for an Introduction to Geocaching class I'm teaching for the Santa Clara County Parks on May 15th. (If you're interested, please contact me.) The class is on the brand new Mummy Mountain trail. The trail opened on Earth Day 2010 after more than a year of construction. In my opinion it's the best trail in the park. While I was looking for one geocache I had...
The Boccardo Trail is adjacent to Alum Rock Park, but not part of it. The land just North of Alum Rock is owned by the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority, who put in the Boccardo Trail in 2007. You access it from the Todd Quick Trail in Alum Rock - and you access THAT from the parking at the bottom of the canyon. :)Boccardo is steep and exposed. It was in...

Geocaching | 10.9 miles
Geocaching | 10.9 miles
Tiger130 and I met up with GC4EVR and Cacher1984 to hunt all the caches in the nature preserve that we had not previously found. That was six for Tiger and me, four for GC4EVR and three for Cacher1984. Luckilly, they were all included in the six that Tiger and I needed to hunt.It took 11.4 miles of hiking for us to find them all and get back to the parking area. I...
Longest hike of the four so far, but lots of fun with Janey and Nancy. Up Lookout Rd., over to Burnt Pine Fire Rd (lots of nice non-burnt pines on the upper section), down to West Mesa Loop trail, hooked up with the CA riding and hiking trail, down to Fern Flat Fire Road and back down Lookout Rd for the 10 mile loop.
A trip through Banner Forest looking for the one unfound geocache I have in there. Weather was overcast and very windy, though it didn't rain until the very end of the walk.
This was a great day of Geocaching. Out of the 7 we set out for, we found 6 and plan on going back for the one we missed. Not only did we get some good hiking and geocaching in but Jaime even got to do some horseback riding!! We met a nice couple riding horse back and after leading the horses for a while they let Jaime ride one...
Alone
My first time out to FCSP. I was surprised at how many people were out today considering it is a 3 mile hike or bike just to get to the park through Back Bay NWR. I really did enjoy my day, riding my bike and taking in the scenery.
A fun, flat bike ride along the levee trail. Collected 48 geocaches in the process.
Matt, Matt's son, Ben and I had a great day caching at Arastradero. I hadn't been there since 2003, so it was good to come back.
A nice day hike with my five-year-old son Jameson and friends Jim, Jerry and Michele. Our target was a Chukar Amphitheater geocache, one of the older geocaches in the state (hidden in March of 2002).
Last weekend I did a 9 mile hike at Calero in 97 degree heat. Not having learned my lesson from that, THIS weekend I wanted to go to Coe."Coe in July?", you say. "Are you crazy?"Well ... probably. :)Back in April I did a 2 day backpacking trip up here. I want to do another one! But I had questions. In particular, I wonder if any of the springs that were available...
Deathmarch. In local geocaching circles, it means a hike of at least 12 miles, with at least 1500 feet of vertical gain. This hike, my friends, is a deathmarch. But...everyone made it back in one piece, and we enjoyed the forest - so how bad can it be? :)We drove to the trailhead on China Grade, on the north edge of Big Basin ... and then headed to Pescadero Creek County Park....
Nice day for a hike to one of the best old school geocaches on WNY, so we did it up.
