This is this start of the "A&W Rootbeer" series. Good camo and doesn't get wet. Please be gentle with the plastic baggy and make sure to put it back how you found it. High traffic area sometimes because of a nearby road and little kiddys crossing the street in the morning. The Cache its a micro cache that is well hidden. :]

I wish I had the benefit of 'mojostones' log.

Found while out with Mojostones. Clever hide; hopefully, the neighbors wont suspect anything with all the new traffic in the area finding this cache.

#592. We met up with CADZ here, it was the first of three caches we found together today. Our GPSr (and the satellite photo too) pointed to about 30 feet away from where we eventually found the cache, we found it closer to the crosswalk. Signed the log, and continued on our way to the next one! Thanks!

Used geosense to find this one. GZ was 35 feet off per both of our GPSs. Had to come by a second time as a muggle was watering his yard by hand across the street. Second time he was gone!!! T4TH

Glad it wasn't where we thought it was going to be!  We found this one tonight with our flashlights (on our way home from having dinner at the Claim Jumper, after finding Ore Cart). You guys did a great job on your first cache and we'll be looking forward to more of your clever hides! Signed the log and headed home. Thanks for the night time fun!

I grew up a couple hundred yards from here back when Callens Corner was Callens Farm. Sometimes, when we were running late for school, we would cut across the open field to get to Moiola school. You had to be sneaky and/or fast, though, because the farmer would shoot at us with a 20 gauge full of rock salt. Nowadays, the elite housing community over there has a private gate to walk through to the school.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane,
Skippy :)

There appears to be a copy-cat geocacher on the loose in Fountain Valley:
Put down the micro and step away from the muggle gallery of homes!
This hide is one of the classics, so to speak ... with no strings involved either! ;>)
Thanks for the early morning cache and dash! #3952

FTF@ 5:50ish We were just coming back from another cache this morning when this one popped up. Not being as technically equipped as some might think, we came home to look up this one. We each had a different idea of where this would be. We were both wrong! Having grown up very close-by, Skippy has some good stories of crossing Callen's Farm as a kid. Thanks for the fun! --Happy :)
