A COUPLE OF CACHES….PLANS CHANGE

When we went to …..

JoAnne Fabric the other day…we stopped at the Melbourne Mall ..it is right across the road…had lunch and we were looking for a cache…take a look at this cool dark forest..cool meaning it is not hot there (just warm after all this is FL..…and cool as in neat also….

This forest is only about 100 or so feet wide and a little longer than the Mall parking lot…but when you inter…stepping form the lot it is like walking into a whole other world…I think of it as maybe Robin Hood's forest…expecting the merry men jumping around any minute…..Probably more like homeless men…that would take the enchantment out of it real quick…

And here is the cache hiding in the base of a tree with some brush covering it…if you look real hard you can see a mini flashlight hanging in there…it was hard to find took me two try’s ..the cords are off somewhat…so after expanding my search area I found it…the first time a security guard was helping…he knew about it but had never seen it…he was not around this second try …

Another one we found recently …is locate near our favorite ice cream stand..not far from dads..love the chocolate/peanut butter flavor…I have to control my self from going there several times a week…I sure could do that ….it seems in my senior years I have grown a fondness for ice cream…I went here on a Sun. morning no muggles around….the cache is over by the lattice fence..

This is a pic of the cache…I made this much harder than it should have been…I looked all over that fence cause that is where it was…gave up walked back to the rig…turned around walked back over…looked down …realized that I had not looked there…well that was it… Winking smile

I want to start sewing them together…I went to pinterest and searched crazy quilt…oh my! this is not your grandmother crazy quilt.. amazing what they do with embellishments on the quilts these days….no craft stuff will be going with me except the sewing stuff….well its getting hot …and I need to get busy so …thanks for looking and come back soon…blessings to all ….G&M

  1. Great you found those elusive caches! Those trees sure make getting good coordinates difficult, don't they?

  2. Lol at your comment about taking the enchantment out of it. Excellent idea to wait until after Memorial Day week-end to get on the road. Although that is the start of school holidays, family vacations and full parks. Sigh.............
