This was the
fourth cache that we found while visiting family in the area. We
again sent the kids ahead and they, being new to using a GPS, went
right by the cache. After I tracked them down, we got back to the
cache which was right next the trail. We left a Thunder Canyon
Brewery token (which we found at another cache) and took the bead
braclets. This is a beautiful park, one we intend to hike many times
in the future. I noticed that a new cache was added much higher on
the trail above the canyon. I hope we can track it down next time. Thanks

This was our
first successful find. The cache is pretty easy but we took awhile
because we're still learning to use the GPS. Didin'e take any thing
and the cache is very full.

Hi WJM,
Decided to hunt down your cache. Nice and easy. I was heading out to
sabino to cache near pine creek crossing and decided to check yours
out. I enjoyed it much! Take care, o_dog

Great hike up
from visitor's center. I brought my family - Kim, Aaron, and Seth,
and friends Marie, Melissa, Alisha, and Zachary on their first cache.
I think they are hooked. We took a handful of stuff and left a
handful of stuff. On the way out we saw the resident roadrunner at
the visitor center. Stood on the circle of the tramway eyeballing
everyone and puffing up real big. We got pictures and will post when
they develop. Thanks, Jeremy

Turned out to
be a good day for geocaching. Cache is in good shape, but getting a
little full. Took christmas tree mug, left black&white video game
and instructions. Camera has 9 pictures left.

In Tucson
visiting family and to attend a wedding in Sierra Vista on Saturday.
Good opportunity to do a little GeoCaching! Being two 2 U of A
alumni, we're familiar with the area and wanted to go for this one.
Beautiful Thanksgiving Day and lots of other people enjoying the
area. Cache was easy to find and the container stuffed. Planned to
take nothing and signed the book, but then noticed the travel bug.
Had to take the travel bug. Somewhere around Austin, Texas will be
its next destination. Thanks for yet another good excuse to go to
Sabino Canyon! cluelessandclark, Austin TX'

I brought my
wife along to find this cache. She is starting to take a liking to
this. The cache was an easy find. We took the fan and left the Travel
Bug we found in Nevada. The can was very full. I took one picture of
my wife (Maria) going through the cache.

Our first find
and it was great! Wonderful hike in one of my favourite places around
Tucson. The weather was perfect and the entrance was free because of
Veteran's Day weekend. The cache is in good condition and packed full
of stuff. We took the bubble stuff so we can watch our dog's chase
the bubbles, and we left a fan. We also took a picture of us both.
There are 10 or 11 pictures left. Thanks! Sparky and Groover

Our third
cache today and the first cache we ever found with a flashlight. The
coordinates were rigth on the money and what a beautiful evening with
the lights of Tucson to the south! We picked up the travel bug, and
the Moose Key ring and left a Christmas Coffee mug and a bottle of
bubbles. Tried to take a photo but the flash on the cache camera
wouldn't charge up. What a beautiful area! -Team Family Affair Scott

11:45am - Nice
hike in to the cache. No problems finding it, other than waiting for
other hikers to clear the area. Took picture #12 and the X-10
contoller and left the Mini-Wyle E Traveller and a pair of magnified
tweezers. Thanks Winnfort Myles for another fun cache! Team Wyle E -

This was out
first find. Picked it because we live on the east side of Tucson and
have always liked Sabino Canyon. It was a great day for a hike, and
had no real problem finding the cache. The GPS cord. was dead on.
Took a pack of shredded money and left a new gold colored dollar.
Seemed appropriate. Look forward to finding more of the Southern
Arizona finds, either the Mt. Lemmon ones, or the Catalina State Park
ones next. Scott and Ann

A very easy
cache. I took my sister and my 75 year old dad and we found this one
blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back. Traded nothing; signed
the logbook and took a picture of me and my sister. Then spent some
time at Sabino Dam.

Set out early
to beat the heat and found the animals were out doing the same. Ran
across a desert tortoise eating prickly pear fruit. The cache was in
a good hiding spot so we had to look carefully to find it. Was
somewhat worried about finding a scorpion inside the bag but no one
was home ;-) Cache was full, took a mini screwdriver and left some
stickers and a shiny new dollar coin. We took our picture and signed
the log book. We look forward to finding some more caches and someday
making one of our own. Pete and Beth Desert tortoise eating some breakfast

We found this
cache a little before sunset. It was nice to have a quick one to find
after work on a Tuesday night. We took our pictures with the camera,
and the marlboro sport timer and left a rubber ducky. SHAME, SHAME,
SHAME on whoever put the AOL and Compuserve CD's in there. :( Team

Visited Tucson
today and was able to visit a couple caches in the area. It was a
nice way to get to see different places. We found the cache at about
2pm and it was right around 100 degrees. We enjoyed the hike and the
canyon is a wonderful place. The camera has lots of picture left. We
took the stress ball amd left a screwdriver and a zipper pull. Thanks
for the fun. - Team Cache-Quest

Nice cache for
young children -- not too far and right now, the cache includes some
toys. I left European Southern Observatory pen and took nothing.

We had a great
time looking for this cache! This was our first find, beautiful views
and lots of wild animals! Deer, rabbits, lizards, birds...but very
warm! We left a stress ball and took a beanie baby.

We got an
early start to beat the heat for a nice hike in Sabino, and decided
to look for the cache enroute. It wasn't difficult to find, and was
in good condition. Wanted to leave a CD, but the cache was crammed
full. So took nothing. Just a thought--don't know how well the
container is going to stand up to monsoon winds and rains. Might
consider something more durable. Thanks for a fun search in a
beautiful place.

This was a
nice easy one! Thanks Myles Reality for stashing it! My GPS took me
right to the sight, no problems. We took an eraser out of the cache
and left a remote palm pad, (a remote control for the lights and
things in your house). We got it out of a cache in Missouri. We also
left a pair of earrings. It was a beautiful sunset, a great time to
be hiking in Sabino!

First ones to
find it! We live about 2 miles from the cache so we just hopped over
there this morning for a nice little hike. Easy to spot... found it
in about 1 minute of searching about. The toughest thing about the
hike was all of the litle gnats flying about. Weather claims it to be
95..but it felt like 100+! The camera's a great idea! We took a pic
of ourselves. Also took a car and left a shoe polisher and a pen.
Thanks for putting it out there! Bill&Cristie
