geoveganWent and had lunch at the UCI Veggie Grill location (mmm tempeh and mmmm sweet potato fries!) and afterwards on the hunt for some nearby geocaches.
First found one right by the restaurant, around the corner from the Trader Joe's in the parking lot, African Safari.
Very cute creative hide. Hope no muggles saw us.
Cute safari creatures:
Then we sought out the nearby Fountains Are Cool (UCI Jack) across the way in the same shopping center in this guys' fountain series. This one took us a few minutes. The GPS location was not spot on for the cache, but for the ugly fountains. The hint was the helpful part. Immediately led me to it once it clicked. Fun to figure out!
Drove around and made our way onto the UCI campus and I navigated us to caches near the main road. Found my first virtual cache, And the Oscar Goes To...... nothing to sign, but we took a photo with a real life Oscar award! I think I need to email the person who posted it or something with the answers/that photo..... hm!
Then we almost didn't find, but at the last moment, DID find Get out of Jail (UCI).
We were glad we went here on a sunday when it was closed and totally deserted. We would've looked SO suspicious, to muggles and especially to the campus police officers, lurking about for as long as we did, searching nooks over and over again.
The hint on this one didn't seem helpful. Still doesn't make the most sense, after finding it. It was in a good hiding spot tho, for sure!
Oh and check this out, some UCI police officer left the window to one of their honkin' tricked out vehicles half rolled down all weekend (i mean, we could have CRAWLED through the thing, it was DOWN, it wasn't just CRACKED):
And there was a rifle with HUGE caliber bullets visible in between the front seats! AMAZING!:
I can't believe somebody so trained could do that on accident.
