A month ago I picked up two FTF’s in South Slough going after emeljay’s newest paddle caches…...today I’m making nearly the same trek to attempt FTF’s on two new caches by Bad Duck….AND cache owner is joining me for the fun since he needed to get emeljay’s caches. Pre-positioned my pickup at Hinch Road at the upper (southern) reach of the slough so we could make a one-way paddle.
Watch Video Clip (3 min.)
Start of the Journey
My logs for these two caches:
East Valino: Nearly two weeks and FTF was still a possibility today! Sweet! Cache owner joined me for a one-way Charleston to Hinch Road paddle. This was stop # 2 up the slough. Pressure was on as I was having trouble locating the container….owner looking on, you know! Thanks for the company!
Dude, Where’s my Camera?: Second FTF of the afternoon! Very Cool. Didn’t have the benefit of the cache page picture or else I would have zero’d in quicker. High tide allowed me to kayak right up within a few feet. BTW, that log looks strangely like a dragonfly perched on the beach….just sayin’. Continued south to Hinch Road. Thanks for the fun, dude that misplaced his camera.
We timed this pretty well to catch the slough at high tide - only had a short stretch at the end of the paddle fighting the outgoing flow (wasn’t very strong).
Saw lots of wildlife including a beaver who gave us a rather rude “slap” as we approached his domain! Cool Stuff!!
