Carmel-by-the-Sea: Surf and Stealth
A
Geocaching Tour of Carmel-by-the-Sea
This
series is designed to offer a variety of geocaching challenges
ranging from level one to level three. Some of the caches will be a
quick and easy grab. The rest are located in a busy urban area and
may require stealth techniques, a high level of patience, advance
planning, or return visits.
Welcome to Carmel Beach. One of the most beautiful white
sand beaches you will find along the West Coast. It is also an
unusual beach these days for the following reasons:
1.
Dogs are still allowed to stretch their happy legs and roam free
off leash. 2. Outdoor fires are still allowed on the south end of
the beach. 3. Actual glassware (not plastic) is also still allowed
on this beach.
Get
the picture? Make this an evening cache and then dine fireside on
the sand while enjoying a gourmet dinner, crystal glasses, and a
view of Rover chasing a tennis ball up and down the
beach.
This
is a small cache hidden in a cache container that you will find
familiar, and may (or may not) have seen as a geocache container.
Please trade small objects of equal value. There is a little
something (it's a little cache) for the FTF.
As
always in Carmel-by-the-Sea, you'll need your best stealth
techniques. This beach is heavily used by locals and tourists from
dawn to about 10:00pm (fires go out at 10:00). It was fun trying to
plant this cache on an overcast Monday afternoon with muggles left,
right, up and down. (Doesn't anybody work in this town?) You'll
need a plan to be natural looking and unobtrusive, and then you can
make the grab. Or, try this cache by the light of a full
moon......
Please recamo so this cache is well hidden. Enjoy this
spectacular beach! Congrats to Hidey Hunter for the FTF!
