Swung by after visiting the Googleplex. Used OpenStreetMap for directions. ;-) Roadworks on this road at the moment and they’re closing it at night times: (near) future cachers may have a walk ahead of them! TFTC.

Threw together a quick computer program to help decipher the description, only to realise that I actually needed to have paid attention to the steps I took in deciphering it, too! A quick do-over and I was on the way to the cache. The nearby vegetation put up a bit of a fight, but eventually let me have it. TFTC!

Recognised this style of recipe right away; I’ve been cooking things like this for years: maybe I’ve even got the same recipe book as you?

Anyway, it didn’t take me long to have a doughnut in one hand and the cache in the other. I was slowed down a little by the discovery that I accidentally left my GPSr on charge in my hotel room this morning, but luckily my phone did well enough to get me to the GZ.

Neat hiding place: you couldn’t manage a spot like that back in the UK, where I do most of my caching! TFTC!

Update: I later found my GPSr in the wrong pocket of my bag: it had been with me the entire time…

Note #15043

My hardware engineering is a little rusty, @ComputerHistory, but wouldn’t signals propogate along this copper cable at “only” somewhere between 0.64c and 0.95c, not 1c as you claim?

Exhibit of early transatlantic telegraph cable with message implying that it enabled "speed of light" communications.
