Down by the Riverside

I have been to this park several times before I started geocaching. Use to go there to fish or just relax. Never knew all around me were little treasures.. :)

Took lots of pictures of this one!! This one is going to the first stage of 4.

Found stage 1.. but of course we had to climb through the bars to get to it..Just call me monkey for short today..lol


So off to the next stage. I'm not going to show a picture of that stage, cause I always find stages like this one a joy to find.. Lets just say it amazes me how they did it. So we did
find stage 2, so now we are off to stage 3..

Awesome bridge huh! The view was fantastic.

Found stage 3!!
If you wondering why you don't see many pictures of me, well that's cause I'm always behind the camera.. lol


The finally cache was right around the corner. Its one of those finds that you know you should be looking at exactly where you know it should be, but you never do. So I'm crawling almost on hands and knees through bushes, while Tracy is trying to get the exact location, which she normally does. Guess what, yep she found it!! We had a great time doing this one and hope later to come back and do some more in the park.

Finally

A quick stop for this cache. The first stage you couldn't miss. It was pretty cool how this guy set this one up... Meaning the actual coords find.

Got the coords and parked the car. Walked through the trail. But the minute we hit the trail the gps wasn't helping us. So normally when that happens I just take baby steps and it usually stays going. While I'm doing this Tracy takes off and a few mins. later she yells out FOUND IT! Sheesh I don't understand how she does it sometimes...lol

It was a cool find. Lots of trash laying around. It needs a trash pick up day for this cache for sure.. Other then that, it was pretty surroundings.

Gordon Park Deux

While out doing the cache below this one, we thought we would do another cache in the park.
So we put the coords in and off we go.


There is 4 stages to this cache, which I so enjoy. (hears daughter grumble in the back ground..lol)
I found the first stage which was a small film canister hidden in the tree.


Then off we go to the second stage. Daughter took off and I went to go get the car. I was hopeing
that she would find the second stage before I caught up with her.. At least that was my plan..



I parked the car and walked to were I thought she would be. Yelled out her name and she was like ya right here.. (with that your here already voice)..lol
So I took my time, which wasn't a problem cause I had to figure out how to cross the little
creek right there.
I caught up with her and she looks at me and says, "THIS IS WHY I HATE MULTI STAGES I CANT EVER DO THEM!!!"..
I said come on lets look together. Well it took a long time let me tell ya. The hint to this stage
was: Hanging Bison Tube
Ok well I had no idea what that was, but they did say it was the size of a AA battery.
I started by then looking towards the ground, cause there was nothing hanging darn it. Daughter is sitting on a stump by now giving up.
I noticed a small piece of red yarn at the bottom of this "tree"<< style="font-style: italic;">WOW
I was very impressed with it!



Thank god we found that one, now off to the next stage..
We came to the playground part of the park and of course had to stop and play.
Well my daughter did, I just took pictures! This wasn't the location of the next stage, its just we can't refuse playground equipment!! Of course don't tell her that she's 16 right now..lol
I love when she is my little girl again.

The next stage was only like 60ft away so off we went. Now old age might have something to do with this, but I thought we were actually at the cache stage. Now it said it was in a ammo box and well in this area there was no way a ammo box was laying around! Then we looked at the paper and we were still on stage 3 and the hint was: YELLOW
Well there was a yellow posted sign.. and yep there was the coords on it..She was proud to have finally found something.


All right now off to the final find. I'm not going to put detail in, but I did find it..LOL

A Beautiful Day in May

Well it was a beautiful day in September..lol
Actually it really was a great day to explore this cache.

We parked at Gordon Park and walked across the street to the trail.


I always hate being in the 500ft to go thing. Only cause you know you got some walking
to do. Really it's not bad, but I have whine about something..lol

My daughter directed us to the spot.

I don't know what she likes doing more, the directing or the finding. She knows she has a better chance of finding stages or the cache if she doesn't have the gps in her hand, cause while she's looking at it, I'm already searching..

Guess what I FOUND IT!!


But, she decided what she wanted out of it and looky what she got..LOL
