FC- LaGrande Vitesse


This is another cache that people probably thought we were absolutely freaking nuts!
Mind you this is down town Grand Rapids off Monroe or Ionia I forget, but a very busy street place non the less..lol
We thought it might be in the mini trees right there, so we get on our hands and knees looking for it. I mean how many people get on their hands and knees down town..lol.. ok don't answer that. At least we gave someone something to talk about that day. Or watch!! It wasn't in the tree area after all that...LOL
WZZM news team did this geo!



And this is why I'm glad I have the camera most of the time so I don't get
caught in postions like this!!!


Found it!

Grand Rapids Gage Station


This a Earth Cache. Meaning its just history on a part of Grand Rapids. This one is at a gageing station. I did a couple other ones like this. A Gaging Station is used to measure the Discharge of the Grand River and the Height and probably many other things.
With this cache we had to take a picture by the Station and also figure out how many feet was from the river to the walk way. Also go the Gage Station website and figure out how how the river was that day we were there and how fast the river was flowing.
We just went to a Earth Cache 101 meeting to learn about Earth Caches. Pretty interesting!

Nice Grand Rapids view..

Dead End Cache


This is one of 3 we did in Cedar Springs today. I've had this one on my list for awhile cause it was out in the country. Suppose to be a big ammo can and it was. Those are always cool to find. Usually stuffed full of goodies. This one not so much but it was cool anyways.

Bobby looking all geeked to geocache!


He found it! Pretty big ammo box!!



Took a couple travel bugs out of there to move along...

Howard's Nature


Second one in Cedar we did today. I have been to Howard Nature center before. This was on the back side. Not as pretty as going through the actually trails of the center, but this trail was pretty as hell with the changing leafs going on. Quiet as hell to!
Took us a bit to find this one cause the gps doesn't like being covered by nature..lol




Awesome trail to the cache. Of course the picture doesn't do it justice..


Bobby among the think of it all..

But he found it!

Lime Lake


Of course no fishing pole. You know we now have 2 fishing poles and tackle box in the van. I finally had it. Have gone to to many caches at lakes and no way of fishing.
This one took us forever to find. Very out in the open more or less, just very well camouflaged. We just about gave up when I happen to look down and there is was. I know someone mentioned in a log they couldn't find it, but we were in the area and said what the hell and I'm glad we did :)
