CA - Bay Area Letterboxes!

Hi all.

Clan Jiggs hit the highway again last weekend in search of some boxes
in the SF Bay area! We were 7 for 7 (plus another Hitchhiker!)
although we really had to work hard to get one in particular!!

Here's the breakdown -

Mai Tais and Menehune - exactly where it was supposted to be - after
we translated the Hawai'ian int English!! (should have done that
before we visited the first time (Doh!!)

Lunar New Year #1 - good condition with a fair amount of traffic - we
also picked up the Peace Meltdown HH (second time!!) so will move it
along soon!

Lunar New Year #2 -really nice spot - the view accross the bay
towards the Golden Gate is gorgeous!

Three Bridges (Geocache hybrid) - super spot with great view of the,
well, bridges!!

Crab Cove #1 - our perseverance LB of the day! We found it buried
(I'm not kidding!!) under a 400lb concrete slab, as per the clues,
but it had been pushed so far back that I (6'2") could barely touch
it while lying on my (anple!!) belly! The locals (and my wife) must
have thought I'd lost my mind when I started digging it out! A few
scrapes and some choice words later, the LB was ours!! I put some
large rocks into the hole to rbsure the box doesn't get crammed in
again.

Crab Cove #2 -(Neptune Beach) - a MUCH easier box to find!

Trials challenge - (geocache hybrid) - another great box with a fair
amount of LB traffic!

We went after the Survivor Series, and actually found the park, but
time was a little short for this day.

Hope to get those and the rest of AJ's Boxer family series next
weekend!
