I love pre-work caching

This morning, I had to be at the other side of San Jose for a training... But to be there at 8:30 without wasting time stuck in the traffic, you'd rather leave early. And of course, it means that you arrive early. This is the dilema that Bay Area commuters face every day.
Fortunately, there is Geocaching now, and it is a great way to spend an hour before starting your work day.
I had enough time to find 4 caches, 2 of which were particularily interesting:
GC11ARJ was a very well crafted puzzle, all in theme with the cache. It seems that the owners, the candcfamilY produce a lot of interesting puzzle caches, even though they are often out of my main area. I need to keep an eye on what they're doing. It seems to be quite entertaining.
The second interesting cache was GCVC4M. It is called SiRF-Cache and for a good reason : It is hidden on the SiRF Technology property, with the proper permission. SiRF chips are the main chips used in GPS receivers so this cache is all about GPS. It is a big cache with a gigantic camo. Finders can leave with a SiRF chip. Very cool.
After this brief caching session, plus a stop by Starbucks, I had plenty of energy for the day, which was a very interesting one.
