Logs for Escapades 

Fascinating location. We have been wanting to come here for a long time to do this cache and see what everyone has been talking about. We came to San Francisco for the weekend to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and this was the #1 cache we wanted to do. We found the cache in about 10 minutes with the clues and description. We spent another hour just looking around. This would be an awesome final resting place. It is so interesting to see the memorials to loved ones and the mementos that represented their lives. It brings your life into a better perspective and interesting to ponder on what items you could place to represent a little about your life. Thank you very much for bringing us here.

We have wanted to find this one for quite a while and found it today on the way home from the coast. It was fun finding one of the oldest caches in the area. Find #1,698

We stopped by this morning on a very windy day and found your cache. It is in good shape. Thanks for giving us a reason to stop. We are heading home form visiting Death Valley and Yosemite caching along the way.

This palindrome to us to the bushes along the driveway into the parking lot of one of our favorite eating establishments - Francisco's Mexican Restaurant. Located in Oroville, California. 

Found this sign in Lincoln, California at their local Burger King. The sign says "Star Wars Reversable Watch" and displays Star Wars characters.

Found this hut in Marysville, California while in search of other geocaches on our way to Roseville, California for a Geocache Event. It was being used by by Marysville High School for storage. 

We found this place while caching. Our Daughter Maggie (Meo Geo) is holding the GPS. 

We found this giant bird head sticking out of the side of a tree in Red Bluff, CA along the Sacramento River. Thanks for the fun cache.

Very interesting reading about the history of GPS and some of its uses besides our favorite, Geocaching.

This is a picture of two dams. The bigger dam in the rear is the Thermalito Diverson Dam. It diverts water out of the feather river through a canal to the Thermalito Forebay and Afterbay where it is released back into the Feather River. The dam in front is the fish hatchery barrier dam. It diverts the Salmon and Steelhead into the Oroville Fish hatchery. This is all part of the Oroville Dam water project.
 

Old Bidwell Bar Bridge, Oroville, CA It was the first suspension bridge in the western states and was completed in 1856 when Bidwell Bar, early day Butte County seat, had several thousand persons and was a widely known mining center. The materials were ordered from Troy, NY in the early 1850's and shipped around "the horn" of South America to San Francisco. Then they came up river to Sacramento and Marysville and by wagon to Bidwell Bar. The bridge, at it's original location, was 372 feet long. It spanned 130 feet of river bed and was 29 feet above water level.
This bridge was removed from it's original location at Bidwell Bar in 1966 to save it from being inundated by the rising waters of Lake Oroville. It now is no longer a "suspension" bridge but is nicely preserved, with it's original toll house, near the area of Bidwell Marina and Wycks Island on Lake Oroville
