SNOW & SCHOOL CACHE

SCHOOL CACHE
HINT RECYCLE
We got up at first light with small amount of snow...about 2 in. When Maggie first goes out in the snow she loves it....she jumps and runs like a puppy ...until she gets cold...then she stands there with one paw up looking at me...."please mama pick me up "last year for the 10 and below days I got her "boots" and she wore them with out complaint...I think she knew they were keeping her feet from freezing to the side walk. As the day wore on it kept snowing (not like the coast area was getting) and I was getting antsy...so we went out to a new geocache...very local only a few blocks away...fifth grade class doing a project ...hiding a geocach....It was a cool hide no pun lol
here are a couple pic . Later went to WM think I might make some cut out cookies so needed to get some flour. Ate early dinner and now playing on computer and Maggie curled up in her bed.
Going to a meet and greet geocache get together....maybe I will find some caching buddies to hook up with. Let you know how it goes.
that's all for now

COLD - HOMELESS TROLLS

HOMELESS TROLLS CACHE
Another cold snowy day....will be glad when in the sunshine state! Was only high of 25 today so no caching today again. Just as well I have a few things to get done and ready for Christmas and still checking my list of things for getting on the road. Sure wish I had my motor home ....maybe next yr. A house across the street from me sold last week so things are moving some what maybe next yr when I get the house done for sale ...it will be picking up some more. When my 2 kids were little I crochet granny sq. and made them Christmas stocking and when they got married made some for the spouses and then the grandkids. So now the first GS is engaged and my DD wanted me to make one for his girl. She is an avid Steeler fan (as is my GS and his mom and dad) so she wanted me to make a black and gold stocking. So I finished that today. Did a load of laundry and had to take it to launder mat too dry. My 43 yr old dryer got a gas leak in it this yr so it is done, and I am not buying a new one at this time. Made fried rice for dinner and now me and Maggie are going to keep warm and watch some tv tonite. I posted a pic of the Homeless Trolls geocache I found it about a month ago. My GPS took me on the road that the new bridge is on and I got out and looked ...no way was I going to hike down there and walk up the creek so I waited till I figured out a better way. The better way ....the old road bed...duh...lol
So finally found the cache and there was one travel bug left so I took it to take along on my trip south. The pic I posted is look thru the woods from the new bridge at the old bridge when the leaves are on the trees and green growth of summer is up you can hardly see it. Well thats all for now.
Happy Caching

FREEZING RAIN & OLD CACHE

SHENANGO CACHE
RUSTY BRIDGE

PB COOKIES! When we went out first thing this morning there was freezing rain all over sidewalks and road! Slip'n and slid'n but we made it. It was like that all morning then rain all the rest of the day. So no geocach'n today. The rusty bridge pic's are of a cache I went in search of last week. It is a multi and the bridge is the first cache. Found that one ok, but the others were going to take us back in the woods and it was deer hunting here so we opt out of that one. Will do it another time.
The name of the cache is Shenango Star, can you figure it out? Hint about the shenango part
the Shenango River is close by. The PB cookie pic is my first batch of Christmas cookies, its a start not sure how many I will make. Got my shopping all done. 21 days and still counting! Can't think of much else today really lazy slow day with the gloomy rain and all. Guess thats all
Happy Caching!

COLD & LOWES CACHE

LOWES CACHE Got up to another cold day 16 this morning! We went for our walk....very short then back home to our morning routine. We only went out today for Maggie's walks....did get a few peeks of sunshine. Worked on packing more stuff to sell this spring, had to put new screws on the toilet seat
ugh! then worked on the computer some. Watched the Steelers lose last nite another ugh!
I think I will change the name of this blog a little so I can use it for my travels as well as geocaching. Since no caching today here is a pic of a Lowe's cache I found a while back...the cache is in the pic, do you see it?? It is neat, I would have had a problem with it if it hadn't been for the kid next door he works there and gave me a hint. Well that's all for now...not much going on this cold winter day
Happy Caching

GEO CACHE SUNDAY

CEMETERY CACHE
MOTEL CACHE AREA

MOTEL CACHE


CABOOSE CACHE



We set out on Sunday with two goals in mind. One make # 50 cache and find at least one
travel bug to take on our trip. We did get the mini milestone # 50 cache! Yeah! All together we
found 4 caches. I will show you a few pic's the first is at a cemetery and I forgot to take pic of the
cache itself. This one was not to hard for a newbe. The second one is at a motel area where the cache is and next is the cache itself. This was a fairly easy one also just a process of elimination'
Next is The Little Red Caboose cache and it took awhile as there are many mugglers here. This is in a small tourist town along a creek where with fisher mugglers. A lot of neat little shops with lots of shopping mugglers. Nice day ..fishing mugglers...but they were not paying att, to me. I tried to find it with out GPSbut finaly got Mrs. Garmin-Geea out and found it with out much trouble. No critters were out and about today...after all it is Nov. ! Preivous logs on this said there were spiders and bugs around. Maggie waited in the truck again until I went to visit all my buddy shopowners then she went to visit also. I had a shop here for 15 yrs. until my retirement time! One other motel find I don't think I should post pic of the cache as it would give it away. I really am not sure what I should post on my finds...but I also wonder what the odds are that anyone from my area will read my blogs LOL. Well thats all for now.
Happy Caching

PS I can't figure out how to get rid of the double pic ..sorry

SECOND GEOCACHE FOUND

CACHE
CACHE LOCATION This is the second cache I found. Army Cache it is a amo box has a log and some army and other swag.(items for trade) This is another one I found with out the GPS, since I knew the area and looking at google maps I figured it out. This one was a pretty easy find, found it in the summer took this pic in the fall. I really enjoy this game and looking forward to out of state finds while heading south. This find was uneventful.
Happy Cacheing
blessings to all
