December | 2014 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2014/12

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. DECEMBER 27, 2014 – Heart of the Mojave Desert (HMD) series #800 – #1,000. December 27, 2014. The Heart of the Mojave Desert. I passed what I thought were salt flats. Only 18 caches in, I turned on a super wide, nicely graded dirt road to find 6 non-series caches placed by others to honor f0t0m0m. I considered adding a cache but didn’t because the location is 250 driving miles from home and I’d never be able to maintain it. Back on the main road the next sect...

August | 2014 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2014/08

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. AUGUST 25, 2014 – Antonovich Open Space Preserve. August 25, 2014. There’s free street parking. Here’s the view from Don’s cache looking N toward Santa Clarita. A major southbound accident slowed traffic to a trickle. The first 3/10 of a mile are steep. Cooler than average temperatures made the hike possible. The trail levels off at my cache, Ursula’s Unhealthy Buffet (GC1HRGM). I replaced the worn out log and moved on. The Gas Company has plans for more deve...

OLdweeb geocoins | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/oldweeb-geocoins

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. They don’t look anywhere near as grainey as the pics. Diameter, numbered and trackable on geocaching.com w/icon. 150 – ‘gold’ / 50 – limited edition ‘bi-metal’ / 50 – limited edition ‘copper’. I’ll trade 1-1, LE-LE. I like large round or otherwise symmetrical geocoins. December 15, 2013 at 7:24 pm. December 28, 2013 at 7:53 pm. I like your blog as well. I added it to my blog links. Happy Caching. July 28, 2015 at 12:28 pm. July 28, 2015 at 2:11 pm. You are co...

March | 2015 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2015/03

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. MARCH 31, 2015 – OLdweeb’s Caching Zoo. March 30, 2015. I haven’t been able to go caching very much in recent weeks. But I want to post something to show that Dweeb’s Diatribe is still alive. Here are pictures of animal life I saw on the trail (urban, mountain, desert, beach) over the last few years. Mountain lions (never seen one), bobcats (can’t find picture) and condors (didn’t have camera) are missing. You are currently browsing the Dweeb's Diatribe.

NOVEMBER 29, 2014 – Ridgecrest (driving series’) | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2014/11/29/november-29-2014-ridgecrest-driving-series

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. NOVEMBER 29, 2014 – Ridgecrest (driving series’). That series is similar to Planes Trains Ships and Automobiles near Barstow, flat hard packed dirt except with more bush hides instead of rock piles. It can even be done in a Prius. Someone was lazy. These tracks led directly to, and circled around, William Howard Taft (GC44A0A). The only cache that was far (200’) from the marked trail. Was announced this week. Later I studied the gc.com map. It showed ...I fou...

October | 2014 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2014/10

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. OCTOBER 31, 2014 Fort Ord Dunes State Park. October 31, 2014. On my last full day on the Monterey Peninsula I cached Fort Ord Dunes State Park. I drove to Secret Trailhead (GC1HVY6). And unloaded my bike. I stopped in the trailhead underpass tunnel to read the graffiti. It was very different from what I see back home. The tunnel led to a great bike path. I don’t think it looked this good in 2009. The first cache Barbed-Wire Zoo (GC3CVQF). I stopped there, fou...

JANUARY 25, 2015 – Chatsworth Park S | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2015/01/25/january-25-2015-chatsworth-park-s

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. JANUARY 25, 2015 – Chatsworth Park S. With 1,045 finds in 2014 I failed to reach my annual goal of 1,200 caches. A flat tire on December 24 left me with a temporary 50 mile, 45 mph maximum spare. I couldn’t safely reach any power trails to make up the difference. I ordered 4 new all terrain tires. They didn’t arrive until January 2. &#%@#$! My first stop was at Need a Lift? Here’s the view looking back from GZ. Later, it started to look like. Was only reachab...

February | 2015 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2015/02

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. FEBRUARY 16, 2015 – Upper Las Virgenes (Northeast). February 16, 2015. While the Northeast and Midwest froze under several feet of snow, I hiked in 85 degree sunshine, 15 minutes from home. This is the Victory (Blvd) Trailhead to the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve (the former Ahmanson Ranch). Free street parking is a block away. And Raptor Ridge (GC5KZCG). When coordinates led to unlikely spots. Caches were all a few steps off trail. Those ...

MAY 8, 2015 – Don_J 1961 – 2015 | Dweeb's Diatribe

https://oldweeb.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/may-8-2015-don_j-1961-2015

Geocaching diary of OLdweeb. Index – sort of. MAY 8, 2015 – Don J 1961 – 2015. Don was low keyed but had a keen sense of humor. He rarely laughed out loud, at least in my presence. A notable exception was when I compared him to an ewok. Don was especially knowledgeable about oddities we encountered on remote hikes. I was amazed that not only did he know about every abandoned wrecked car I’d found on my solo hikes, but that he could recite the model and year for each one. Another time, after a morning of ...
