DOG TRAINing by Treasure Pirate&Brillinat Treasure Hunter Princess (1.5/1.5)
N33° 39.402 W117° 44.032 (WGS84)
UTM 11S E 431957 N 3724334
Use waypoint: GC10BT0
Size: Micro Hidden on 1/13/2007
In California, United States
Difficulty:
Terrain: 
| Easy cache and dash--unless during peak arrival and departure times. This cache is not near the train tracks, and is well outside the 150 ft limit required. Nearby cab drivers are probably watching, but if you sit on the bench for a short while, they won't notice you. Plenty of signs warning you not to bring your dogs to the train station, so please leave your trained or untrained fido in the car. |
Micro cache, log only. Cache is narrow tube. Please try not to trample any bushes.
This one is located at the Irvine Transportation Center, where the Amtrak and Metrolink trains stop, and buses from many lines have stops there as well. One day, we'll take a train somewhere from here.
The Brilliant Treasure Hunter Princess loves coming here to watch the trains, and picnic nearby. I like the chinese food place at the train station, during the week when there are lots of people around for lunch, but I doubt if the weekend traffic is enough to keep the food coming fresh all the time.

It was a quick find, but a tricky retrieval. There was no easy way to get a hold of it. I always liked this train station. Though train tracks run right through the place where I work there isn't a passenger train within miles of there, so taking the train isn't an option for me. Thanks for the hide. Log's almost full on the front side.
No one here but some harmless crazy guy screaming obscenities at the top of his lungs to no one.

Out with Cache'n'Carey today. This was definitely a micro. What is that thing? I won't tell you what * I * thought it looked like. 
Signed log. TFT$-

This place was just about deserted on a Sunday afternoon, with the exception of one guy and his luggage waiting for a train that never came. Grabbed this one with a.k.a. Diana on the way to two others close by. TFTC!

This had us stumped for a while. Tried to be careful of bushes, but they are showing signs of many cachers looking. Once we found it, we were the entertainment for all the people sitting on the waiting bus with nothing to do but stare out their windows at us. Finding the cache was one problem, getting the cache once spotted was another problem, but we prevailed and TAA-DAA! TNLNSL Thanks you for the cache.

Must have missed Jshults by minutes!
I left my four legged friend in the car...and pretended to be on my phone. Very clever cache!

Got a lot of funny looks trying to find the cache WITH THE DOG at my side. The sign says NO DOGS. Signed and ran back to the truck before the heat arrived. Suggest putting the NO DOG attribute on this cache.
