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... :)




Owlfoot's Nest


On my way to get my tooth pulled in White Cloud I HAD to do a couple geocaches..lol

This one was pretty simple. What's so cute about it is that there was little faces pressed against the glass across the street watching us. It must either be the owners of the cache or they at least know what we are doing. Me and my daughter waved at them.. to cute!

PB-2 Rest Area

Now as you know I love doing Photobugs caches as I have mentioned before. So we thought we would take the highway home after doing Winfield Lake cache, so we could pick this one up.
I don't know where the hell my head is sometimes. Now when you read the logs on this cache everyone gets stuck on stage 3. Noooo I get stuck on stage 1. Let me show you what we had to do: (taken from the cache information)

Cords will take you to a Memorial Plaque
To get the cords for stage two you will need the birth year and the year of death of the individual on the plaque.
N43*27.NNN ( NNN = year of birth -1455 )
W085*28.WWW ( WWW = year of death -1447 )


Ok that seems pretty simple enough. Well we must have had to do more to the numbers or something cause it just wasn't right. So thank god, once again Photobug let us call him and get a hint.

So after that we went straight to the other stages without a hitch. Yes stage 3 did take us a bit to find. But no need to call on that one.

Now normally I take lots of pictures, but I was so weirded out about stage 1 that I just didn't take many. So I'll just show you that we did find the cache.



Winfield Lake Cache


What a nice day to go out Geocaching. Tracys mom took us out for breakfast and we took her geoing.
This one is located in Howard City. Another park found that we didn't know about. Of course since we live fairly close to this one I'll have to take the kids swimming here while Tracy and I go fishing. I like the smaller parks like this one cause you know its not going to be over populated in the summer. Maybe just us redneck hillbillys..lol
The cache was extremely easy to find considering it was laying on the ground and not hidden at all. Which sucks, cause I love a good hunt. But I re-hid it where I'm sure it was suppose to be.
Then we walked around a bit. Seen a swan and scoped out the swimming area to see if it was icky..lol







FOUND IT..
