Caching in Half Moon Bay

Last Sunday, I spent the day caching in Half Moon Bay. I have never cached there so it was a brand new territory to explore. The highlight of the day (and purpose for the trip) was the Peninsula UnEvent event, celebrating Vaccine and mjp303's 2000 finds milestone.
The event was to start at 1 pm at Cameron's and I had enough time to go after a bunch of caches before the event. Since it is always a pain to cross Hwy 1 (when there is no traffic light), I decided to start at the northest side of the Bay and then work my way South along the coast, getting closer to Cameron's.
The first cache was one of M&J's caches (Who would? Driftwood!)... Hey, a cache, and a pun (in theme mind you), it could only be a good start. Except that it almost cost me a ticket for illegal parking... The closest parking lot was full (it is apparently a popular area) so I parked along the
road. I didn't see any sign, and I parked just behind many other cars. I found the cache quickly which allowed me to be back as quickly, to jump in my car and leave before the Sheriff had started working on it (he was ticketting the last car of the line, two cars away from mine...). I grabbed a few caches here and there. Purple People have an interesting series ("this stop...") related to the old railroad system. It is quite educative. I enjoyed going after two caches in this series.
Other nice places to visit are the areas near Tsunami Rangers and Beyond the end.
The event at Cameron's was very successful. I'm pretty sure than more than 70 people showed up. What a nice place for such an event. There was a nice raffle and many people (including me) won something. I got a bag with two pins, one of which Marky was nice enough to trade for a coin (thanks to Joani). LeChuck's show during the raffle was awesome. What an entertainment that was! After the event (I was one of the last to leave), I went for more caches in the area.

A fine one was near the little downtown Half Moon Bay jail. I have been in this town several
times before. I have never noticed this jail. Very nice.
Another interesting one is Digitalfish's Ferrosaurus. It is located in a place I have driven by several times but never cared to stop "the Spanish town". They have all sorts of garden ornaments, including gigantic iron sculptures of... dinausors... Pretty cool.
Event included, I found 16 new caches during the day. And the good news is that there are plenty more left. I'll come back, with wife and kids this time.
