Manhattan, KS (GeoSunset)

I got little too busy to update my blog. I don't have much time to go look for a cache either, but here comes one from several weeks ago.

There is a place called Sunset Zoo in Manhattan, and there are trails around it. The cache, GeoSunset Cache, is located in an off-trail location. You need to go about 100 yards out from the trail. You can go there from the top of the hill, but I recommend going down the hill following the trail, if you have time. It is a nice walk to a river.

Manhattan, KS: Mr. Roger's Neighborhood

I'm back in Manhattan, KS. No more city life. Oh, well. I better enjoy the mother nature instead. And I don't mind it at all. The spring is coming! ;)

The first one visit after I came back is called Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. What a nice naming! I don't want to give you a spoiler, so, I don't go into details, but the name was a huge hint for the location. It was located in a place I wouldn't go if there was no cache. It is an another good thing about geocaching. The game takes me where I wouldn't go normally.

SF trip (Golden Gate Park)

We decided to enjoy the downtown in the last day at San Francisco. After visiting Asian Museum, we went to Japan Town for lunch (syabu-syabu!) and tried to find Nihonmachi cache, but no luck. We spent quite a few time, but we just couldn't find it. I still wonder where it might be...


Then we went to Golden Gate Park. I didn't know what to expect in the park except for a few cache I wrote down on my notebook (my GPSr cannot import waypoints), but the park was great! We enjoy the view and we really wished that we had more time to enjoy conservatory of flowers and other amenities they have.

Over there, we found conservatory of flowers and pool of enchantment. Both are fairly small, yet not so difficult to find. Thanks for putting them in such a nice park!

San Francisco trip (Napa)

In second day, we went to Napa to taste some wine and, of course, find a cache. the day started with rain, but it turned out that most of the time we were out, the sun was out too. We did winery hopping for several hours, and it was great! I wish I wasn't driving!

Cache-wise, we were able to find Red Chicken, but unable to find One Man's Pearls. One Man's Pearls was close to a residential area and it took for a while to get to the location. When we found more public area where we (and GPSr) thought it was a right one, it got too dark and none of us had a flashlight. We looked for 10-20 min, but we had to give up. :(

Also, we ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant Red Hen (hint, hint ;)), but the taste was not as good as we expected... I don't recommend to anybody.

San Francisco trip (Hyde Street)

Once we found the previous one. These friends of mine got very interested in finding more, so, we were set to find one more close to the Fisherman's wharf, called S.F. Cable Car - Hyde Street Hill.

It was a nice walk from Fisherman's wharf. Probably because of the buildings, my GPSr wasn't giving a coordinate straight for a while, but once it did, we found the cache. It was already dark, so, I was lucky to have two of my friends who was willing to look for the cache with me.

San Francisco trip (Green Thumb)

I visited SF to see my friends from France and Mexico. We went school together and one of them had a meeting in SF. They didn't know anthing about geocaching.

luckily (for me), when we visited Fisherman's wharf we didn't have clear plan, so, I told them about the game and we start to walking toward the coordinate for the Green Thumb.

They didn't quite understand the concept until I found the cache. But once they got an idea, they were as excited about the game as I was! I'm expecting to see them at geocaching.com very soon. ;)

The walk from Fisherman's wharf to the coordinate was excellent too. Even though the famous fog was there, we get to see Alcatraz from the hill.
