Hey everyone! I'm the Lost Coast Ninja. In mid-November, I started seeking caches, and since them it's been a non-stop hobby: every trip to another part of town ends up with another find under my belt. A few weeks after beginning the game, I started hiding caches in and around my current home town of Fields Landing, and also in Eureka proper. Here's a list:
Whalers Dry Dock GC38377
Bayside Hide-Out GC38HAK
Bayside Hide-out Extreme GC38XJC
All Zipped Up GC38T2H
Hoagie Hijinks GC387CE

Also, I recently adopted TFJ's "Got Change/ T-1800" series of caches around the Bayshore Mall, and also The Landing TB motel in Fields Landing. All of the Bayshore-area sites have been updated with Rite in the Rain, and the TB motel will soon be one of 4 new ammo cans I picked up today

Hope to meet some of y'all soon.

Some quick tips for caching supplies:

Picky Picky Surplus- Ammo cans/Decons/First Aids/ Any other type of container you could want except micro, Dry packs, Hiking gear, assorted surplus items, Rain gear, etc.

Adventures Edge- Rite in the Rain paper, Hiking/outdoor supply

CVS/Wallgreens- micro Caches, plus Michaels next door has magnets, hot glue, paint, and velcro

Ace/ Piersons- Caching hardware, supplies for custom containers.

I'll be at one of your caches tomorrow...after I pick up a tree climber.

edit: You mentioned Picky Picky Surplus. Just don't buy the ammo can with a logbook inside.

Also, I'll put it out there that I have 3 more ammo cans to hide, so if someone has a great spot PM me and we can take a day to place a cache or two. I'm already thinking Samoa Rec area could use another ammo can hide...

How big does a cache have to be to be considered large? they sold some pretty big pelican cases/ammo cans at the surplus shop I was at earlier...

edit: The cache was the first one I picked up- I was like, "Whoa, I don't even need to order a sticker for this one!" hahaha

You might find this explanation helpful.

According to that, I have one can that should become the closest "large" cache to the Humboldt Bay.

Not sure on the exact size, it's a 800- 5.56mm size can, about twice the size of a .30 cal box. the others I have are 2 .30's and a .50.

Edit: the big ammo can is a S.A.W. ammo can, volume is approximately 11 liters. Measures 7x8x12"

Well then,

The Landing-TB hotel has undergone renovations and is now a .30 cal ammo can hide... watch out for the Hotel Security (Stinging Nettles!)

I hide a new cache down in the Samoa rec area today. Have fun with this easy one

New Cache today!! GC39H62 Stinky Pier (HXC-2)

I found the spot yesterday on a romantic evening with my girlfriend...what a cool little spot. Have fun, and there is NO reason to go off or hang over the edge of the pier, folks!

Well, my new cache has been placed too close to a puzzle cache...
