first find and it was really fun

Some are more baffling than others. I couldn’t find The Ruins today and I put it there but it was found just recently.

Tried 3 caches put out by JI today and found none of them. Are the JI caches removed?

I was with the family and didn’t find it either. I’m glad I didn’t find the spiders either! Have to try again next time!

Out with the family, and none of us could find this one. Looked everywhere we could called it short to go to the other end of the island before sunset. I have to return to California, but hopefully the family will find this one on the next visit. But t was a great area, wished I could of had a history lesson….

We left a pink jewel in the cache when we found it. The find was the perfect level of “trickiness” for our group. Thanks!

Picnic Area is bit tricky…

beat the bushes and didn’t see it.
 January 6
[My family and I looked for a while with no luck...It would help if I had an idea of what kind of container I was looking for.]
[Update from the cache owner:]
The container is a small black waterproof (if people close it right) about 8 x 6 and about 2 inches tall

No luck here. Looked around for about 20 minutes and could not find it before the gnats decided to devour us. Great spot again on this beautiful island.
 January 1
The new coordinates are better than the old by about 50 ft. Once you find it you wonder why it was so hard. Our first find of 2009. Took nothing, left a nickel.
