Katie Senser stumbled across her first geocache by accident.
She was picnicking with friends at Bald Rock, a barren, wind-swept expanse of granite overlooking the Feather River outside Oroville north of Sacramento. It’s a quiet, eerie place, where the wind howls mournfully as it whips through the craggy formations and the only evidence of human activity is small depressions in the rock, worn over centuries, where the local Maidu Indians ground acorns into meal. But it soon turned out that Senser, a Chico art student, and her companions weren’t the first visitors this century.
