LarsThorwald's Psycho! California, United States
By LarsThorwald on 14-Nov-02. Waypoint GCA8AD

We are visiting from Sweden and today we went to Universal Studios.
This virtual was on our todo list and we paid GZ a visit in the dark afterwards. We have emailed CO and hope we got it right.
Thanks for showing us this place and thanks for the cache!

In the area for the week and had to stop by and check out this virutal geocache. Lots of narrow, twisty roads getting to the posted coordinates but was able to see something related once I was in the right spot. TFTH.

Together with ErikSi I made a 12-days trip around the USA, starting in Los Angeles on 11/7.

From L.A. we drove around 12 days (and nights), made over 6500 miles (10,500 km), found a lot of remarkable caches and saw beautiful places.

At first we drove to Tucson and Mexico, then to Denver, Salt Lake City, Mountain Home, Las Vegas, San Francisco and finally back to Los Angeles.

Thanks to all owners who made that trip possible.

We found hundreds of Challenge Caches. My statistics are hidden, but there is a folder with proofs for the Fizzy Challenge as well as the date and month challenges and all other easy challenges. [url=https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zfg54j1v3jou6dq/AACslQ-xV2xeH6vUlVFTfTIca?dl=0]Folder[/Url]

I'll try to load up pictures for all difficult challenges, too.

If there is something wrong with a condition please conact me bevor deleting the log.

I hope I can come back next near, it´s a really great country with a lot of even greater caches.

Zusammen mit ErikSi ging es auf eine ´kleine´ USA Cachetour. Von Los Angeles fuhren wir 12 Tage durch Wüste, Städte, Schnee und Schneestürme, durch Sonnenschein und Regen.

Unser erstes Ziel war Tucson mit einem kleinen Abstecher nach Mexico. Dann weiter nach Denver, Salt Lake City, Mountain Home, Las Vegas, San Francisco und wieder zurück nach L.A.

Wie konnten viele Caches und schöne Ort entdecken, darunter auch hunderte Challenges. Meine Statistik ist derzeit nicht sichtbar, ich lad aber bei den meisten Challenges ein Bild mit hoch.

Es gibt auch einen Dropbox Ordner in dem alles gespeichert ist und der inzwischen gut gefüllt ist. Zu finden [url=https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zfg54j1v3jou6dq/AACslQ-xV2xeH6vUlVFTfTIca?dl=0]hier[/Url].
Ein Dank an alle Owner die solche Touren immer wieder möglich machen.

Ich hoff das nächstes Jahr Zeit ist wieder eine Tour irgendwo in diesem großen Land zu machen.






Abschließend kann man sagen: [purple]gggg [blue]= gelöst, gesucht, gefunden, geloggt

So wurde es dann das 5. von insgesamt 16 Döslein am heutigen Tag.

Tour: 1304 / 1310

Danke an LarsThorwald fürs Legen und Pflegen der Dose!!

Eigentlich war das Highlight für November schon gefunden: Cachen in BRNO.
Zusammen mit Trebbi machten wir an wunderbaren Tagen CZ unsicher.
Da tauchte die Frage auf: Kommst du mit in die USA? Diesen Samstag geht’s los!
Wow - das war eine kleine Organisationsmeisterleistung, aber das Abenteuer rief.
Kurzentschlossen wurde zugesagt ..
Den Hinflug konnten wir gemeinsam erleben, mein Rückflug ging leider schon etwas früher über Moskau.
Es wird noch Wochen dauern, bis alle Eindrücke angekommen sind.
Wir können getrost behaupten, dass wir jede Landschaft und jede Witterung im Südwesten der USA ausgekostet bzw erlitten haben. Besonders hart trafen uns die Schneestürme und die Autobahnpolizei.
Viele Abstecher und Runden wurden spontan eingefügt und gingen zu Lasten der realen Schlafzeit. Nie waren zwei Wochen mit weniger Schlaf versehen als diese.
Das Gesehene passt fast gar nicht in den Kopf. Seien es die krassen Gegensätze in der Landschaft, die endlosen Staßen (immerhin haben wir in diesen Tagen 10.500 km zurückgelegt), die genialen Cacherunden oder die besuchten Naturschauspiele.

und...

und...

Die gefundenen Caches sind in jeder Hinsicht der Wahnsinn: Alter, Art, D/T und was das Statistikerherz noch so begehrt.
Es war nicht leicht, aber dem Ruf der großen Tradirunden konnten wir erfolgreich trotzen.

Fazit: Supergeil!
Wär es nicht so weit weg von zu Hause, könnte man seine Homezone hierher verlegen.

Actually, the highlight for November had already been found: Caching in BRNO.
Together with Trebbi we roamed CZ on several glorious days.
It was there that the question arose: Do you want to come with me to the USA? Departure next Saturday.
Wow - that was a minor organisational feat, but I was ready for the adventure.
So I didn’t have to think much about it; of course I said yes.
We took the same flight there, but my return flight was a little earlier and via Moscow.
It will still take weeks until all impressions will have registered.
We can safely state that we have enjoyed - or suffered - to the full every scenery and every weather in the southwest of the USA. Especially the blizzards and the highway patrols bore down on us.
Many excursions and trips were made spontaneously at the cost of our sleeping time. Never before had I spent two weeks with less sleep!
The things seen can hardly be assimilated. Whether it be the crass contrasts of the scenery, the endless roads (after all we covered 10,500 km during our trip), the brilliant cache series or the spectacles of nature we visited.
and...
and...
The caches we found are incredible in every respect: age, kind, D/T and whatever else the statistician's heart desires.
It was not easy, but we managed to resist the call of the big rounds of traditional caches.
Result: Supercool!
If it was not so far away from home, one could lay their homezone there.

Always have to stop and get a virtual when I'm close.
Here from Wisconsin and looking forward to going down to Universal studious tomorrow.

Found with SmashingGround on my first trip to California

Stopped by after Halloween Horror Nights. Thanks for this virtual cache.

9885. Found this one today after flying in from Australia on holiday.

We really enjoy visiting Universal Studioes when we can. We spent two days at the Orlando site this trip as well (Harry Potter areas are Amazing !!).

We have been past the object in question a number of times on the 'tour', so it was no surprise when we drove up to view it from this angle.

Thanks LarsThorwald !! Favourite Point !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers from Australia

After a day at Universal Studios me and Tinbob found our way up to this one.... We came a bit closer when we were inside

This one we passed as we went on a tour at Universal Studios

On the way to a customer meeting at Universal Studios we took a small detour to do this virtual cache. From the listing and logs it was already clear what we were looking for. Trouble was finding it as the property of Universal is fenced off with some not-see-through sight barrier.

Luckily, there is still a spot near GC which allows a view and the taking of a picture. From there, only the top of said object can be seen but this is still enough for a positive identification.

Nice idea for a cache, thank you for showing me this place.

Found it, crazy drive up the hills and very narrow streets. But a cool view! There is new sound proofing walls so you have to drive a bit to find the view!

Caching after 5k race at CBS Studios and visiting Walt Disney's barn. Wild drive up the narrow streets to find noise proof mats blocking the view, drive further on Blair Dr then you get a great view.

Found it at my USA Holiday !

Greeting from Emden / Germany

Team BiMi say TFTC

At the end of our road trip of about 3600 miles in California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, finally we found the time to stop and logging some cache found in recent days. Thank you for hiding this cache, we discovered a new location! Bests from Italy

Inside the walls it looks much better, and also an extra trivia question; who is putting what in the trunk of his car. See picture. Well done Lars TFTC.

That was an amazing day today in universal studios. So we were closed at this object.

Today to the Universal Studio and visited this cache. We had a great time!

During our three weeks round trip through the United States, Mexico and Canada with the main target - Seattle and the final block party, we've found lots of caches. This here was one of the interesting ones.
Thanks to the owner for hiding and maintaining the cache!

Sorry, I've never seen this movie. As I now realize - I was looking to the wrong direction. For proves - please see attached pictures.

We were off to the USA and Canada for a few weeks of holiday, and thoroughly enjoyed travelling around, and visiting the many different places and caches we came across



This one was next up on the list for us today, and we soon made our way up the winding roads towards GZ. Although you can no longer see the place from GZ, we still enjoyed the views from up here [^]

Cache Money and I visited the posted coordinates first and got a view of Universal Studios from above before taking the up close tour later in the day. The place was a mad house today during the holidays but the highlight of this cache was creepy and quiet. Thanks for the fun adventure and TFTC!

We foudn this one while visiting Universal Studios for the day.

Found this one with MrMeccano on a visit to Universal Studios. We saw the cache come up on the GPSr on arrival and thought we could get this one, but unfortunately we didn't realise at the time that it was going to be from the wrong side! We got the first bit but the second part was going to be a little more difficult. Fortunately there was a delay in proceedings and we were able to have a guess at the that part.

I rate the movie as one of my favourites and ot was good to see it up close.

Fun one, I loved it! We looked down on the "cache" from above, and had fun picking out the various items. Why, if I didn't know any better, it almost looks like a plane crashed on the nearby street. E-mail with answers has been sent. TFTC!

Spent the day at Universal Studios, did the backlot tour so came up close and personal with the Bates Motel and the Psycho House.

After we left for the day we drove around the back to grab the cache. No UPS vans but there certainly were a lot of parked cars which made for interesting driving especially when another car came from the other direction.

We arrived at dusk and could just make out the object through the other object. TFTC.

We spent the day touring LA using only Virtuals as our guide and this one was a real gem. Thanks for the tour!

Yep, this was an interesting one. Email sent. Great idea! Wow this place has changed since I was last here 12 years ago!
