The Frog Tree 6/3
So late last night I finished the coding to get this blog working and was dying to go do something after staring at a screen for 5 hours not playing wow. So I fired up the interwebs and lo and behold! A Geocache right in my back yard. At the Frog Tree no less! The Frog Tree is a tiny wind blown tree on the ridge between Kristin's house and mine. I have spent many an hour hanging out with people under that tree and was stoked to know about the geocache!
SO, Sean and I threw on our shoes and charged up the overgrown path I used to use in my days of a Middle Schooler. Did i mention it was around 9:00 PM and dark? I get slapped in the face with a tree and press on only to be stopped by Sean, "uhhh... wasn't that poison oak you just stuck your face in?" Thank God for Technu! We plowed straight up the hill to Frog Tree and realized the error of not bringing a flash light. We could not find the cache for the life of us. Luckily we were able to call Kristin, who looked up the exact location online, officially making this a TEAM INFERNO (WOO!) event! Sean eventually found the Altoid tin, just in time for me to stick my face in another poison oak bush looking for the stupid thing. I dropped in an Iris pin from work and took a cool coin.. i think it is chinese? Funny that this is only cache number 8 for me... Expect the number to double by the end of the week!

Hike to Arch Rock!
FINALLY! I have mastered the Google Maps API and may present to you the first of many map posts for this blog. The next post will discuss how to use this blog.
The trip! Kristin, Sean and I (TEAM INFERNO).. oh and Nick :P, hiked out to Arch Rock hearing rumors that part of the arch collapsed. We left from the Bear Valley trail head to the arch. About half way, Kristin removed her boots to expose horrid blisters. She fought through it and removed her boots at the arch and stayed barefoot the rest of the way (OUCH!). The tide was extremely low. Lower than I have ever seen it. We were able to walk under the arch and easily hop over the creek. We then decided to see how far up the beach we could walk. After exploring the cave on the way, we reached the cove and peninsula north of the arch. Sadly, this was the end of the line and we were forced to turn back. I definitely look forward to exploring the hills around the arch sometime soon. We'll have to find Kristin a good pair of boots, haha.
