What a fun afternoon!
First we were off to re-try a difficult one![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lottia_paleacea couldn't get yesterday, in Orange, but on the way we picked up "Don't Let Your Guard Down".
Lottia actually found it, and we signed the logbook. took/left nothing. Cute tin. Not camouflaged, but hidden out of sight.
Then we found "The Old Sunkist Plant" one after a few confused minutes.
After hitting all the rusty metal pieces and faded orange spheres, Lottia again found it in one of the tubes I didn't check. Victory! that one was a level 3 difficulty.
Near that one, we tried for "JUST BECAUSE" but no sight of it. Maybe it's not there any more or maybe we were just blind. Here's lottia looking for it.
No sign of JUST BECAUSE.
We set off for a cleverly but laughably named "Huck-Colbert-ee Pond" and found it. We split up and sarched for a bit, we both overlooked its hiding spot the first time, then I found it on a second pass!! It was MY first ever find :)))
There are some items in the capsule to leave/take, but we just signed the log. The best part of this one was this poster clearly wanted a Colbert/Huckabee ticket instead of Obama. LOL poor guy.
Funny stuff :)
Then we decided upon attempting to find "Loco Bird" nearby. Must be in the El Pollo Loco lot, we thought! after first trying the business lot in front of it. No sign of it. Looked all over. We got some Starbucks to console our fail.
Funnest find, YET, "You want some fries with that?".
First while driving there I thought it would be at the Carl's Jr because, fries!, duh. but we found out once we got there (and ordered some fries) that the GPS point was way off, so then oh!! FRY'S!
Once we got there and parked (almost getting hit TWICE in the lot by blind idiots!!) it didn't take too long to find. it's well camouflaged but the description even said it was a film canister, so that was helpful. After we checked the signposts and failed, we found it somewhere we'd already walked past.
Never would've been able to do it alone - it was 6 or 7 feet up!
FUN to grab with a leg-up. Although i really dirtied up my hands and shirt and elbows ^^;
Last find of the day, on teh way home, another one by Fullertonfinder, "Who Was Chip's Friend? Think Disney!" Duh, Dale St! Not hard to find once you're actually near it. Not camo-ed at all.
Well I think labor day was a good day to go do these. Some were in workplaces that would otherwise have been open/more awkward to visit a day when they were open. Yay holidays!
