Well after many a long day of waiting here is the journey of Wuv Twoo Wuv. Truly it was a journey of love, hate pain and joy. The pictures aren't in order by any means as they were just taken to enhance the trip blog here. The initial part is just a few pictures at the very bottom however you can read the whole story of my journey

So I hope you enjoy.

When I began my actual journey it was the first clear day after a 3 day storm here in sunny San Diego


Or maybe not....




Below is just a short video taken of one of the many Streams I had to traverse over the many days of hiking to fulfill my task of saving the Princess






I bet your wondering what this is.. or maybe why did he take a picture of it. Well if you seen princess bride than you may remember the Tree. well I think this this is a camouflaged version of the tree. Do ya think so?




If you look very carefully here you can see where I slid ... almost fell flat on my kiester... that would have hurt.



Oh look here's another one of those secret entrances.. Or maybe It was just a pretty rock formation.. You decide.


Anyone for a swim. This is the highest I've seen the water level.. Kinda scary But good for the environment





It's purple What more needs to be said.






Had to cross this part twice.. and since I was only wearing local tennis shoes.. Well let's say wet socks are not my idea of fun

This is piece of green below is where the San Diego fires were. It's nice to see Mother Nature is so resilient.

Hmmmm Muggle Prints.. May need to be careful as I go.

Different Muggle Tracks.. Now I know I'm being watched.







Well to wrap up the photos Here's just a couple more of the after affects of the rain in puzzle valley




Now for the full narration of my journey.

It began when my wife and I finally decoded the first of the five parts of the puzzle.

I drove to the what my wonderful Garmin GPS And yes this is the one I have. said I should start.

I found the perfect spot to park. I'm sure that's where everyone else who has started this trek may have parked too.

Anyway off into the jungle I trekked. To the south and East/West I went trudging along.. Into the bush.. literally climbing over tree branch and waist high scrub along with a small stream easily jumped.

I must say at this point it was about 8am in the morning when I began. I was cheery and anxious to find the first of these caches. So off I went wondering why the heck QDMAN would have done this much work for a cache.. didn't seem his style.

But I persevered. for two excruciating hours on the wrong side of the road. Yes I said the wrong side of the road. Up to the top of a mountain down into the valley's back around again.. Up over more hills and through more scrub..

I was getting discouraged. So I decided to do the sensible thing and call my wife to have her check my location..

She logged in to http://www.geocacheing.com/ and said yep you should be right look for the big trail (service road) Well I didn't see any service road So I thought well I give up. I will go home and try again.

So back to the car I headed. With a lump in my heart. I was failing. So new, So naive.

Then as I was looking across the road I stopped to check my location again and realized that as I traveled back the car I was getting closer to my goal.. Hmm novel concept follow your gps and it's compass.

So I called the wife again and told her I was going to give it another go.. She hmphd and haa'd and let me go.

So off I went.. onto the little bitty tiny service track I was hunting for into more chest high scrub that I had to literally plow my way through the ravine and into deeper and deeper plant growth..

Again I am thinking what was QDMAN thinking. So after another hour of this I called again and said we have to figure out something..

She agreed.

As we chatted awhile I remembered a comment by QDMAN about him using Google Earth to find a few of his first cache's So I said to the wife As I hike would you please take a look.

She agreed.

By this time I had finally realized that the major service road I wanted was at the top of the Ravine not at the bottom where I was.

On I went up the side of the ravine battling rocks, scrub brush.. With little thought for what might be lurking below my tennis shoe'd feet.

My legs by now burning with the exertion of 3 hours of hiking through very rough terrain.

Success I have reached what appears to be a main service road. And would you believe from the vantage point I was then standing on I could see where the road actually reached clear back to about 500 ft from where I entered the ravine. Called the wife again and apologized for yelling at her when she told me I should have been following the service road all time.

Off I go again to track the service road watching as the scenery and ability to travel becomes much easier to navigate and my position gets closer and closer to it's goal.

Seeing muggle homes to my left and scrub to my right I kept right on going. Getting more and more tired.

Then the most dangerous thing happened.

I was identified by a local dog. Barking enough to bring out his owner I had to stop and detail why I was trespassing on private property.. (which I had no idea I was on).

I showed him my Gps explained my plight.

Chuckling he pointed be back up to the service road where apparently I had veered off of inadvertently. Once again back up rocky/bushy terrain.

Waiving goodbye to the nice muggle and thanking the powers that be that it hadn't turned out worse I set off.

Reaching the top I called to check in as I promised I wood. I got great news. The wife had figured out how to use Google Earth to assist me in tracking where I was and needed to be.

I rattled off my current location in which she entered into Google Earth. And presto she gave me literally step by step directions on how to attain my goal.

From that point it was off to the Races. I hit my target and was able to with a very anti climatic ending go home.

From this point on as I continued to hike the remaining parts of the puzzle over the next several outings to solve the puzzle I trekked out using my cell ,a bluetooth wireless headset and my wife stationed behind a pc with google earth to guide me home.

With the exception of one day of hiking after a 3 day rain storm as the pictures above show and a couple of hints from QDMAN, the rest of the hiking went by uneventfull.

Thanks QDMan for a great time Tracking the Princess in Wuv Twoo Wuv

Princess Bride is one near and dear to my heart.
