CA: FRESNO COUNTY SERIES/ FOLSOM BOXES

Hi all!

3/4 of Clan Jiggs went on a LB splurge today, picking up 13 out of
13 boxes in the central part of CA!

The kids and I first went to Cohn Park in Folsom, and picked up the
Aloha and Basketball Boxes. Nice to see that they've both been
visited a few times by some familiar and new folks!

We then went on to Fresno County, where we spent about 4 hours or so
picking up the 11 boxes in this super series, recently planted by
Sierra Sally! Folks, if you ever need a lesson in how to hide LBs in
an urban setting, this is the series! 6 of the boxes are ingeniously
planted in the city of Fresno, with the others in surrounding
communities (including 1 at the entrance to a casino!!)! Most are
drive-by, but all took a little creativity on our part to ensure we
weren't detected!

Interesting to note that we weren't first finders for the first
three boxes, but again, some unknown (to us) folks had made the trip!

We left a little "something" in box #11 for the next intrepid souls!

We finally managed to drag our sorry butts home at 11:30 PM, as Dad,
in my infinite wisdom, forgot to factor in the return trip time! (3
1/2 hours)
