In the Summer/Fall 2003 Issue of Central Sierra Seasons there is an article which teaches you all about geocaching. Geocaching is a sport where a person finds hidden locations using their GPS receivers. The map above shows the location of six such caches set up by Seasons staff. Additional information needed to find each cache is offered below.

Each cache contained at placement two forms, each good for a free 3 year subscription to Seasons. Upon finding a cache, generally a person selects one thing from it, and then adds one thing of their own to be found. This means that when the subscriptions are gone, there should be two surprises for everybody who finds it later. These caches are fairly small, they are tupperware style containers which would hold about a stick of butter and little else. Please bring your offering with this size constraint in mind.

Set your GPS to the WGS 84 Datum. Units on this page are in decimal degrees. (You may have to refer to your manual.)

How Far?
(aka How far are you willing to go for a subscription to Seasons?)
N 120.232323
W  37.780670
Somewhere along Priest-Coulterville Road, look for the rock there.

Sunset Bench
N 119.859957
W  37.875360
Evergreen Road, near Yosemite, stop by for a drink and a bite, and then walk find this cache just before sunset. (Geocachers love hollow trees.)

Pinecrest Lake
N 119.981285
W  38.193132
Between the trail and the water. We thought the nearby plant was called Pink Alum Root, based on the wildflower poster just inside in the Pinecrest Ranger Station. Be careful.

Kennedy Meadows
N 119.746915
W  38.310415
Hope you are tall, because the cache is about 7 or 8 feet up. It's facing the stream.

Bashford & York
Bashford:
N 119.773257
W  38.336238

York:
N 119.772876
W  38.335996
York is what is called a "Virtual Cache." What this means is that the destination is the prize. You don't take it with you; you enjoy it where it is. Virtual caches can just be a place to learn something new, or they can just be a pleasant place to be. York happens to be both. If you are looking for a prize, step over to nearby Bashford.
