Geocache Description:


NOTE! The Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. This location is merely the starting point of your puzzling adventure… However - There IS a copy of these details hidden under a fence post cap at these coordinates to help those who may not have the cache text available.

CACHE IS LOCATED WITHIN 0.1mi OF START POINT!

Parking is available either 0.1mi west or 0.2mi north. West is the UCSB Storke Family Student Housing lot, so a permit is technically necessary. (Oh come on - it won't take you THAT long to find it - right?) North is open parking near the UCSB Warehouse off the west side of Los Carneros Road. Honestly, it's about a tie for total travel distance when all is said & done. This is a great cache for a BIKE.

As far as puzzles go, this one is pretty easy. Go to the coordinates listed above. Now begin: Look around the starting point. There is something here that does not belong, yet cannot be easily removed from the area. Look around some more. There are others! (I suppose the real puzzle is WHY are these objects here?) FYI: these objects have been here at least 15 years prior to cache placement - I did not put them here!

Follow them until they STOP. Update 8/2019: There is ONE missing item in the line (may actually be there, but you definitely cant see it!) so keep looking to confirm you are at the end of the line.

The cache is located about 13 steps away from the last object in the line (as usual, your mileage may vary).

To your east is the Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve. Please do not jump over the fence! The cache is NOT on reserve property.

To your west is Los Carneros Road. The cache is NOT on the road. That should narrow your search zone quite a bit.

At times this is can be a high traffic area (both cars and bikes), so please be careful and be stealthy. The cache container has plenty of room for trade or traveling items. Please replace the cache container and info tag exactly as you found them when you are done.  Have Fun!
