Great camo. If i wasn't lookin for it, i would of never of noticed it. It was hot today, i forgot my sunglasses, & didn't have a pencil. I had to *remember* all the info. Bad planning on my part.
Nevertheless, it was a great hide. & fun puzzle. I actually ended up have the wrong coords in the end, but the clue is a very good one, and was easily found.
T: portugese coin
L: Some coin, dunno, (one of the European countries)
SL
Thanks.

There we were sitting down with the cache in hand ready to sign the log. We had just realized that the log was about full. Team Rand walked up and handed us a new log. Great meeting you! T coin from Portugal and L one from Italy SL
TFTH and the conversation.

This was our first geocaching adventure! And, nothing like a nice park in Irvine for our first go at treasurehunting! What fun (of course after we had a few bouts of arguing about which direction to head next!) And, we really enjoyed the multi-action which required more thinking and a little math skill. We found five coins - two from Portugal, one Chuck-E-Cheese token, one from Mexico and one from the UK. We took the one from the UK and replaced that with one from Peru (un Sol), and a US Nickel. BTW - the log is getting FULL!! Thanks for a fun afternoon activity.

I had my hand within 1/2 inch of the cache when I thought I needed to recheck my math...ended right back where I was supposed to be and just looked a little closer. I am finding multi caches much more fun now that I have a little more experience finding caches. SL THX 4 the hide!!

This was a lot of fun in a park we already loved! Thanks! We took two American quarters, and an Indonesian coin, and left one from Great Britain, one from Mexico, two Portuguese coins and a Chuck E. Cheese token. I know that's not exactly foreign, but it's what we had. We hadn't known about the waterfall at the park. Thanks for taking us to new and exciting places!

Coldest night of the year and I just had to get a Slurpee before coming here. Realizing the ridiculousness of my situation, I ditched the cool slushy goodness and proceed to do the cache shiverin'. Found the cache in great shape and well camo'd. Nice park/memorial. Thanks for the fun.
