I guess it’s because all the previous times I visited this lovely place, I spent my time either browsing around the shops and getting to know what’s around. After learning a bit of history on this place to write my “Back to the Past” articles, I made use of that knowledge by showing my friend Kambria around Old Town while geocaching earlier this week on Monday morning.
Our adventure started at …

Geocachers, this geocache is not one of the more creative geocaches I have found. In fact, it is very ordinary, being a small magnetic Altoids Strips container.
So why is this geocache called “Cars?” As the name hints, this cache has something to do with cars. If you guessed correctly, this cache is found in a parking structure, the one near the ball field and art buildings at UCI to be more precise.
What makes this geocache special is that it is one of the few UCI caches, and according to the …
