Well this cache was located in Cedar Springs. We decided on Tracys day off that her and I would take a trip. Of course we had to go there anyways, cause she had to visit her work..lol
This cache was located on the bike trail. (the old railroad track)
Before leaving I mentioned to Tracy that she shouldn't be wearing a white shirt cause
we might get dirty. She grumbled and said it would be ok.
The gps took us about 500 ft from it and we had to get out and walk. We bushed wacked our
way to the trail and headed north on the trail. It's pretty cool watching the ft. go down until your right on top of your target.
Well I went to one area that was sorta looking like a good hideing spot and she went to another.
All of a sudden I here this oh shit and sorta of a thud.
I look over and theres Tracy slideing down the slope and on her side. FOUND IT she yells out.
I start laughing my ass off as she climbs back up the slope with cache in hand.
Of course you know I had to mention that her white shirt was now partly green... lmao
We went through the cache. Pretty interesting things in there. Of course the one thing that
stood out the most was the fake ears of corn. It only sticks out for me cause when your reading these cache pages on geocaching you get to see what other people say about the cache.
And one person mentioned, "I hope someone likes corn"..
It was a great cache and a good laugh for me!

Milk and Honey
All right this one was so easy that we didn't find it right away. You want to know why..lol
Well it really helps if you read what they tell you to do.. But No, we thought we knew.
We stood on the main road in Comstock Park looking like retards, and I say that meaning it..!!
The clue was that its where gray meets green, and it was a piece of equipment that he installed for the local street lights.
Ok, well we found that piece of equipment, but all be damned if we could find the cache.
Picture 3 of us looking around in the sky, on post, on the ground, pointing and looking at each other stupid.. Ya not pretty when you happen to glance at the passing cars, and you see they are pointing at us and have that look on their face... LOL, whats funny is you know how if you look in the sky, and people see you do it, they tend to look also.. now that was funny.
We didn't find it and went back home. I then again looked at the WHOLE sayings about this cache. Guess what... I missed the part where it said MAGNETIC KEY HOLDER!!
Wow what a idiot I was.
The next day we went back out and went right to it.
So I have learned to read all the information on a cache, no matter how little it may be.

Gone Postage
Once again me and the girls head out.
This took us to Hyser House Museum off from westriver drive.
One thing about some of these caches is that there is alot of history behind the area of where
they are hid.
Like this use to be a farmhouse, home/doctors office, post office and a stage coach. Amazing that this little building has so much history. If walls could only talk.
Well the gps took us right to the hideing spot. We were looking in post holes and logs.
My daughter flipped a log over and there it was. The theme of this cache was postage stamps.
So we left a vintage motorcyle postage stamp and signed the log and left the sig card.
Very nice learning expiernce!

Aiden's First Cache 9/04/06
The title of my post are the names of the caches.
Well I don't have any pictures for this one, cause well it was
my very first cache adventure.
I took the girls and we headed out. It was over by 7 mile rd. were
we use to live, so I knew we couldn't get lost.
We had no idea what we were looking for, well we did, but not exactly
sure cause we never did this before.
It was by a Fire Station, but nobody was there.
We parked in their parking lot and got out and walked with
GPS, cause at that point of course we couldn't drive anymore..lol
We walked into the woods and the gps got us to like 4ft of it.
So we started looking. I found it in about 5 mintues buried in
a fallen down tree. It was in ammo box. It was full of goodies.
I noticed that alot of people leave sig. cards, so you know now
I have to go home and make one.
It was fun and now of course we are hooked.
We got into this cause we went and visited my Dad. He told
us all about it and was pretty excited. So I went out
and bought a GPS and called and said ok Dad what do I do now.
He explained and now we are geocachers..
MY SIG CARD ABOVE!!
