Very fun fountain. No pen so bring your own. Parking is across the street at the "Office" store. Altoids Tin.
Fountains are cool. This cache series is not meant to be challenging or difficult. This series is designed to take you to different locations around town that have fun and interesting fountains. Take a few minutes to locate the cache but don't hurry away to the next cache. Take just a moment to enjoy the fountain.

A nice cool caching day in Irvine with BoydChicks. Took a few minutes to find this one, since OUR heads aren't 8 feet from the ground. Sheeesh!!! Replaced the cache to a more normal height, according to the latest World Almanac and Book of Facts Wink!! SLTNLN -- thanks for the fun, FishfulThinking...

Caching with Stantastic today around Irvine. We parked in the garage and were headed "to the leasing office" or somewhere nearby Wink. The hint of course is relative to your height. The last finder must have been a giant. We replaced the cache to match the hint again. Thanks for the hide.

Found it whilst driving through the area. Why, I don't know...I think we were geocaching.

Just as I'm changing my batteries, the cache was found. Hey, maybe Garmin should developed a solar-powered GPS. Err.. maybe not, since many of my finds were sans sunlight. TFTC!

A late night quickie. Got the clue after we found it. Funny how that works.

I was in the area caching and I certainly couldn’t pass up a chance to find a couple more in the “Fountains Are Cool” series. Landscape maintenance personnel were repairing the sprinklers near by but they didn’t pay any attention to me. When I was confronted with ground zero I fell back on the clue (nice clue) and was soon pocketing the geocoin and signing the log. Thanks for the fun.

Now THAT'S a fountain! This is probably my favorite one of the series so far. Plus, it's on a night, which is plus for night cachers like me. I used the hint and my geosenss to find the cache; I didn't pay much attention to the GPS at all. Got it within a minute or two and then stuck around to check out the fountain and its setting. I wanted to get up above - there seems to be a little patio or something up there - but I think you might need to go inside the complex to get there. Oh well, maybe some other time. Took the ladybug and dropped off a TB. TFTC!

Found it after searching where the needle pointed, we expanded to find it about 20 feet away. This is a huge fountain here!

Thanks for the fun!
