Our best day ever

Almost up to date now. 5/1/10. We found 5 caches today. First was in downtown Newman. Very clever hiding place in a box on a telephone pole. Don't know if this was added just for the cache or just a lucky find of a hiding place. Took a toy tractor and left beads and stickers. I can see why this is a historic area, but not sure why it's Newman's Historic Homeless District:Part 2.

Headed toward the freeway to find the I-5 diaper changing station. Nice name! Wow, what a tiny nano cache. Tucked in behind another freeway sign.

#3 was down the freeway a little toward Crows Landing. Didn't know why it was called Covanta until we saw the sign. Nice hide of a 35mm film type canister in a knothole on a fence post behind the sign.

Our first DNF in a long time was Kit Fox. Thinking maybe it was muggled. Looked for quite a while with no luck.

On to find #4, The DPC Too. Nice drive a short way toward an off road park. Lots of local bovine company. Found the cache behind a post. Took a chicken and left our regular stuff. With this one we had to actually go back and download the maps. Seems the GPS works fine without a cell signal, but the maps don't.

Stopped for a drink at Westley on the way home and decided to try one last cache. A Lone Tree was just that. Fast find on the way home.
Note: Returned to The View and replaced almonds with beads and stickers. Afraid animals might smell them even in the sealed package.
