A nice cool caching day in Irvine with BoydChicks. While I was probing around MY GZ, BC found it hanging around somewhere else nearby. SLTNLN -- thanks for the cache, jshults...

Caching with Stantastic today around Irvine. Returned today to redeem my March 2008 DNF. This big cache sure wasn't there last time I was here. Easy to find today. Left a jeep TB.

With some new coords to try, we thought we'd give it a shot. Sure enough, it paid off. The new coords were probably just as "off" as the original, but at least it gave us a new perspective.

Looked for Santa in May. I guess our calendar is all screwed up. What's next, Thanksgiving in July? TFTC!

A late night find with CIP and JJG. Determination or just plain dumb luck. Whatever it was we found it.

Teamed with KChaney56 for some O.C. Bike-N-Caching in Irvine this afternoon! ~ToungeOut~
Why, this was the BEST EXAMPLE!!! KChaney56 saw this one after we adjusted our searching criteria and GZ. I give him credit for finding this one after 4 reported DNFS!!!

NO, IT IS THERE!! and NOTHING is wrong with the cache.
BTW, it's not Santa's lost gift any more, we found it!
