The previous version of Sniff / Safe Deposit was a three-stage
cache. Unfortunately the second stage was destroyed by waves in
winter 2006, so I editted that part out of the cache.
This is a two-stage cache. Go to the above coordinates and look
for the old-style geocaching.com logo. There you will find the
missing coordinates of the actual cache. All you'll see are two
three-digit numbers. The degrees and minutes parts are the same as
for the first stage; just change the fraction parts of the
coordinates to the numbers you find, and then look for the new
location.
The cache is about 0.25 miles from the first site as the crow
flies, but you'll probably want to backtrack. It's a 7.62mm ammo
box, near but not in the obvious landmark.
If you're driving, there is free parking about a half mile east.
If you're mountain biking you can get closer, but at some point
you'll want to lock the bike and proceed on foot. No bushwacking is
necessary - there are good paths which will take you to within 50
feet of all three sites. The last bits are on rough ground, so wear
sturdy shoes. There is no poison oak in this area. Off-leash
dogs are allowed.
Initial contents of the cache:
- Geocaching info sheet.
- A notepad and two pens, to log your visit.
- An assortment of balls.
Suggestion: as you'll find out when you get there, this park has
become a sort of informal outdoor folk-art gallery. As an optional
alternative to the usual take-a-toy / leave-a-toy thing, you could
bring something you made and install it somewhere nearby. Or bring
some paints and decorate a rock. Or build a cairn of rocks holding
up a stick. Or think of something on your own!
