Tadpole's "10th"


This park is one that I have been to hundreds of times. In fact
since I was 13 I have been going there. So that's along ass time..lol
Pictures are a bit blurry, cause my dumb ass had it on the wrong setting again.

Bobby found the first stage:


And I found the final:..woohooo!!

Fisk Knob "Rocks"


Easy find. Of all the years of living in Cedar, I have never once been here.
It use to be the main place to park and make out. But I wouldn't know anything about
that one..lol

Now see I don't know if I want to bring Bobby anymore. He is as bad as Tracy
and finds them all. I'll just say beginners luck..lol


He found it!

Up on the Knob

Another one done at Fisk Knob.
It was pretty damn cold out with this one. Well Fisk Knob is the highest point
in Kent County so the wind was carrying us away.

First Stage:


Bobby found the final: (damn I suck..lol)

Indian Dip



Nice day to go geocaching.
Now the first stage was about ass nine. I didn't think Tracy and I was
going to find it at all. Don't even ask me how the hell I just happen
to find it cause wow!! Took a good hour. But I enjoyed the scene around me.

This was the first Stage.

But you know Tracy had to find the final stage.. sheesh why
do I bother..lol


Here are some scenes around us.

The "Fields" of Wahlfield

It doesn't suprise me at all that this was another great cache by the
Two Happy Hikers. They have another cache in the park and that was amazing.
So of course we had to do this one also.
The first stage was cute so I had to give it a kiss..lol



Off to the second stage. And of course Fawyn thought she was the shit finding
that one..


Of course you know its the hottest part of the day and we are dragging ass and bitching at each other. I said don't even think about giving up at this point. So
I made her laugh and distracted so I could find the next stage..lol
Don't even ask me how I found this one considering that there is only 50 other
ones just like it on the bridge.


Took a picture of the beatiful sight of the stream, but you know it never really shows how truelly great it is in a picture :)


Stage 4 was pretty clever. I just hope no hungry critter wants it for lunch!!



This stage about made me loose my wits. I was on the ground upside down, backwards and what ever other positions there might be to make me look like I was a moron!! It took me about 20 minutes to find it. And that was by accident. Now Fawyn was such a great help sitting on the bench asking me if I was all right!! (insert here me rolling my eyes..lol)

You can't really see all the dirt on me, but trust me I was a dirty girl!


Then Fawyn found the next stage and acted like it was the hardest thing she ever did... evil girl I'm telling you..lol


But I found the CACHE.. woohooo!!!!!!


Fawyn looking all psycho going through the cache...


It was really clever hide. I probably wouldn't have thought to look there, I just
happen to touch the log and it moved so hmmmmmm..

Busy Beaver

Planned a trip to go see my parents today, so I had to print out some geos on the way.

The first one was at a graveyard but we couldn't find it.


So off to this one the Busy Beaver. Now when we pulled up to the gate we had .73 miles to go.

We knew we would be walking a ways on this one. And YES we did. Thank goodness it was a shaded path.

Now I thought we was doing good until we got to the swampy area and the gps was telling it was further across the swamp. I'm thinking great now we have to go around. Cause there was no way in hell we was going through it..lol


We truck our butts around it, and of course you know we could have avoided all that if we would have turned earlier off the path.. but you know me.. can't make it easy at all.


By now we are sweating balls and the bugs are now attracted to us. Fawyn just looks at me like I should know what I'm doing by now.. I just smirk.

We do find it I must say. We felt like we were so far away from the world sitting and relaxing it was kind of scarey. The swamp is something like you would see in a scarey movie just waiting for some gross creature to crawl out of the it and turn us into a reptile or something..lol


Yes the name of the geo sorta fit to this one. The place that the geocache was located was for sure visited by a beaver at one time. Of course I didn't see any beavers, but I think the swamp creature at them all.. hehe


The beginning:


The middle:


The End:




Big L TB Stop


Thank god this one was closer to my mom and dads. We did the first 2 stages and went to get into the car and it wouldn't start. I think we left the radio on... women anyways..lol


So called dad and told him what geo I was at and he says, Oh been to that one I know where your at.

So he comes and gives us a jump. He then says your going to finish this one aren't you.

Damn straight, can't let a broken down car stop us from geoing.. :)


So we follow him the final stage. He supervises while we find it.

Then off to mom and dads for lunch :) and of course rest.

I tried to talk Fawyn into doing some more on the way home, but she wouldn't hear of it. So out of 8 geos planned, we only did 2...GOOD GRAVY!!







She found it!!

Bring Your Canoe


Exactly what the title indicates.. It was a place to launch you canoe.
Now getting back to it was pretty cool. It was like a 2-track. I kept thinking to myself that I'm so glad that I bring someone with me on these caches, cause I wouldn't have wanted to be stranded out there by myself if something was to happen.

Just another place we didn't know about that we can go to for something or other. Like a picnic or just to relax and read. Or better yet how about to drop your canoe in the river..lol


Dang Frog I almost stepped on. It wouldn't even move when I was up close and personal taking its picture. After taking it I touched it and it finally decided that was enough :)


FOUND IT..

Binoculars, you'll want them


Lots of Horses at this one. We pulled up and there is just hundreds of acres with lots of horses just grazing along.
Now this cache is known for its Elk, Bison and Deer. We didn't see them right away, just the horses. I was in awe on how much room they have. If I was on the other side of the fence it would look like a field full of wild horses out in the wilderness. I know I'm pathetic. But I guess it is so nice to see animals have so much room.
When we turned the corner is when we seen the other Beast. They were taken a nap until Fawyn got out of the car to take a picture, then they stood up.



FOUND IT..

Gordon Park Cache


We were on our way to Cedar Springs today and I decided to pick up some caches along the way.

3 of them off Northland Drive.

Now I've been to Gordon Park before for another cache. I think there is 3 of them in this park. It's pretty big, so there's plenty of room for them.


After getting this one done we picked some dandylions to take home and fry up. Thanks to my parents, I think I know how to make food out of pretty much anything..lol.


This was a fun cache. I watched Paige try to cross a little trickle of water. All you had to do is cross a root bridge, but sheesh you think she was crossing a swamp land...to damn funny :)






STAGE 1


PAIGE GOING AROUND THE ROOT BRIDGE..


FOUND IT!!



Morning Comes Early When There's No Snooze Button


Down the pine trail again we go. This trail goes through many towns, so I can imagine all the caches on it. I think this is only my third one on this trail.

At least this one we didn't slide down the bank or get our feet wet. I know what fun is it if we don't ..lol

Very easy find! I have a feeling I'll be seeing this trail again in the near future.






PB-2 Cindy's Ice Cream





Easy as pie getting this cache today. It had a lock on it, which of course you had to get the combination from the geo place. To bad though Cindy's wasn't open cause me and Paige wanted a twist...

131 Times Two


This cache was at a carpool. We pull in and we notice a older lady sitting in her van. We get out and she is watching us. So we have to wander around a bit until she finally leaves.

I often wonder what these people think when they see people get out of their cars and go into the woods or bushes...lol. Specially at a carpool. I mean its not like its a nature trail area or theres a bench to sit on and watch traffic. So there is really no excuse to be wandering around. Unless your a weirdo and do that sorta of thing or of course your GEOCACHING... :)
