CACHE OF THE DAY,WORK UPDATE & YD SALE

PRESSURE WASHING PORCH LOOKING GOOD!


GETING READY FOR YS


CACHE IS HIDDING




THE CACHE
WEATHER: Temp 83 and lot of sun shine = HOT
This week has been a busy week for me. Getting ready for first yard sale of the season, it is an annual Memorial Day weekend one I have had for the last few yrs. It is usually the biggest one.
Son came and we took out tables and two loads of totes. Tomorrow I will start to set up, for Sat, Sun, and Mon. It might rain tomorrow so I will have to play it by ear.
While we were at my brothers home I got his power washer, loaded it in the truck and son did my front porch. It turned out pretty good considering nothing has been done to it in over 10 yrs. Next week after yrd sale I will put on a couple coats of a honey colored sealant on it. One more thing to cross of my large list of things to get done on the house. Son will start the front of the garage next week also. I guess we are going to put on new doors, like the original ones that were on it. Things are headed in the right directions, maybe not as fast as I would like to get it done but it will get there.
The cache of the day is one geo-dog Maggie and I found last Sunday while caching in a town just a little south of here. This was the second time I looked for this one, it is right in the middle of a bunch of businesses and way to many mugglers were around. But this time we found it as every one was closed. I think I like to cache on Sundays as not many mugglers around at that time. This one had a neat hiding place as you can see in the pic. I looked around a light pole and didn't find anything, looked over to the right and saw that hanging on another pole and yep that was it.
So far this summer I have only been able to go caching once a week, I read some of the logs of others and man, they go every day! The must be "retired" lol.
That's all for now
Happy Caching

GEOCACHE & RAIN RAIN AND RAIN

CACHE IS IN THERE SEE I TOLD YOU!


THE CACHE WEATHER: Warm but rain the last few days. 70's. Suppose to stop raining on Monday and be it the 80's all next week!
CACHE: This is one we found few weeks ago on the edge of a local cemetery. As you can see this one could have been very hard to find. There could be a bunch of trees and logs that can be potential cache hide sites. That is why having the GSP is a must. Maybe like some of the light post hides in parking lots and out in the open ones, you could find with out one just by looking at the location on google maps. In fact that is how I found the first few caches I went looking for. In the beginning I did not have a GPS. And I still don't have the proper GPS for locating the cache, I have one for driving, Garmin Nuvi, but I have learned to make adjustments and it works ok for me most of the time. In the future I hope to get one for walking and caching.
WORK: I spent most of the last couple days still working on sorting and packing. This is going to be a long, long summer! We will be working on the front of the garage next week. Not sure what son wants to do, make new garage doors, or put up some siding and replace the entrance door that is in ruin. We put it in an closed up the front about 25 yrs ago , so that I could make it into a work shop. Now that part of my like is over, we need to do something else with it.
Well thats all for now
Happy Caching

XING CACHE & MORE SORTING

THE PATH
WHERE IS THE CACHE?

HERE IS THE CACHE HIDE


THE CACHE WEATHER :Today the weather is great 68 and sunny.
not so great last 2 days.
CACHE:
This cache I found a while back, it is located in an area where there are new office buildings, a walking path, and some woods around. It was called path xing, so I figured I would just follow the path and when it crossed with another I would find the cache. Wrong! Now these woods are not deep at all, in fact there is a 4 lane highway , the woods, then the offices, and with out leaves on the trees you can see the highway and cars. So I walked around these woods looking for the path crossing, did not find it, so back tracked all the while keeping my eye on the GPS, and finally found about where it should be, in the second pic I posted. Walked up to it and there it was, in all the stacked up wood, that should be a good hint when you see something like that. I took a pic of the camo cache beside my clip board and GPS. Maggie took a walk on the path with me this time. As long as we are on a path she is ok with that most of the time. It was nice walking in the woods and not be afraid of wild animals. lol.
WORK SORTING:
On Mon. & Tues. I worked in side the house as it was cold and raining. The garage roof did not leak!! A couple years ago I worked part time in a local craft store. Some times after the first of the year the want to get rid of inventory and have huge sales. At the time I was working they had a sale on all the scrap booking items , everything from scissors to paper and everything in between
The sale was everything you could stick in a big brown bag for something like 12$. Now I am a great packer, years of doing craft shows, and you would not believe what I got! Over $6,000 worth of retail for only $300. I sold off a lot of it, but still have tons and tons of it left. So that was the project for this week, on rain days. I am going to keep some of it to take to Florida and scrap book for family and sell the rest at yrd and flea sale. I am not even 1/2 done sorting and I have it all over the dinning room. I have to figure out where to store what I want to take with me. I emptied three trunks I kept most of it in.
Today I painted up a load of Americana to take to Volant and see if I can wholesale it to one of my store owner buddies. I will take a pic when I get it all done. Also mowed the yard and hung out a load of laundry. I love to hang out close on a line!
Well thats all for now.
Happy Caching

A CACHE & WORK PROGRESS

CACHE IN A TREE
HANG'IN A TREE

THE WORK SPACE


ON THE ROOF WEATHER: Weekend weather was great, sunny 70 just right for working
today, cool and rain.
The cache of the day was one we found on Mothers Day Sunday, a nice easy cache, in a local cemetery. You can see old s tones, since caches placed in cemeteries are along the edge mostly you see the old old stones, some so old the names are worn off by the elements. It is very interesting to see the old stones way back to the 1700's. I haven't seen any old than that. I was looking all around the base of the tree, that is usually where they are hid, finally found it hanging in front of my face.
Son got a lot done on the garage this weekend, a pic of him on the roof and a pic of patio / work space. We hit the basement with a big hit this weekend. Took two truck loads of lumber( mostly scraps from my wood working days ) out ! When we looked at it in a big pile I couldn't imagine that all of it was in the basement. Unbelievable what we cram in our spaces! Also found water leakage not good :( I don't know how much I will get done today, tired and lazy feeling. But I will work on something, maybe more packing up one for sale, two keep, three throw away. A box for everything! Some day this will be all done! Then what will I do??? lol
That's all for now
Happy Caching

PS I put a pic of me and Maggie on the blog.

CACHE & A BIRD

A CITY BIRD?
DIRT ROAD CACHE

THE CACHE
WEATHER : TEMP 70 Some sun and clouds, expecting storms. But looks like a nice weekend coming up maybe get garage done.
BIRD :The first pic is something you don't see walking down your street very often I have lived here 33 yrs and have not seen one. Did see a small bear a few yrs ago. It was strange about the bear, the cops came looked and said leave it alone (it was up a neighbors tree) it will go away. I was worried about kids and pets but it did come down and lumber away.
The ring neck pheasant I seen the other day, I kept tyring to get a better pic but it just would not stay still lol.
TODAYS CACHE :The cache is one I found a few weeks ago, it was out in and open field area, only one lonely tree, on a dirt road. It was obvious where it was. This was listed for everyone on the web site, but just yesterday I seen it was change to premium member's only, those who pay to use the web site the also get other benefits.I don't know why the changed it.
The last few days I have been working in basement (still) I have a bunch of lumber and scraps to get out, hope to do that this weekend. Today did a load of laundry to hang out and hope for the rain not to show up. So far so good. I think most of this afternoon will be spent working in the dining room clearing out the computer desk and a lot of paper work to destroy I don't need anymore. I am tired of carrying boxes and bags up and down stairs so will take it easy today. But still get something done. I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel yet, not by a long shot, but things are getting accomplished. Progress! If I stop and think about all I have gotten done over the last two years, it is a big accomplishment, so I will go with that loll.
That's all for now, stay tuned and see what tomorrow will bring.
Happy Caching

BIKE/WALKING PATH CACHE & MAGGIE

MAGGIE WAITING ON THE TRAIL
THE CACHE IS HIDING

THE CACHE WEATHER:Cold and rainy last few days. Ugh! Temp today 59
The cache of the day is one we found on Sunday. It was on a paved bike/walking trail, not far from where my son lives. There are about 5 or 6 on this trail, the first one I did not find I think it was in the woods a little to far for me to leave Maggie on the trail, as she doesn't like to go in the woods. I don't like to leave her alone. The second one along the trail is the one I took pic's of. Trees made the GPS jump around but I finally found it, using the hint on the web site about a log, but believe me there were lots of logs lying around. I was a green camo'ed plastic jar gal size I look for travel bugs but none to be found this time. By the time I found this one it was time to go eat dinner with son and family. I will be back another time for more.
You can see Maggie waiting on the trail for me in the first pic. You can click on the pic's to make them bigger. She is such a good dogie just sits and waits for me, no hassle at all.
The last few days with all the nasty weather outside I have been working in the basement. Wow
what a job, sometimes I have to go through things twice because I think I will need something or what ever, then go back and say I DO NOT NEED IT! "When" I get it all cleaned out I will put that dry locke stuff on the walls , I did it about 25 yrs ago and it has held up good. The foundations is what they used 100 yrs ago , sand stone, and it flakes over time. This is just one of many many jobs I have to do before renting or selling. I think need to have a yard sale soon to help free up some space. I am going to have a huge one Memorial Day weekend at my brothers house, he lives on a main road to Pymatuning State Park and is a very busy road. Always do good there on a busy weekend.
Well that's all for now stay tuned see what tomorrow brings.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY & A DOVE

GEESE AT THE CACHE
THE DOVE

THE CACHE
WEATHER Temp 53 and cloudy & windy
Nice Mothers Day and went caching on the way to my son's home for Mothers Day dinner.
Had a great dinner, hit the spot since I have been trying to do the W. W. diet.
GEESE AT THE CACHE: they were squawking at me the whole time I was there, I mean really loud! Their nest must have been on that side of the water. This cache was hid on state game lands. Seen lots of empty shot gun shells lying around. The saucer looking thing with straw in it
I think might be for an eagle to nest in. I have seen other man made nesting post but they were on the top of telephone poles stuck out in the water. Our state game lands are really beautiful, this is the first time in my life that I actually got out and walked around in them.
THE DOVE: I got to the cache area, and look around before entering from the parking. Maggie again stayed in the truck. The hint was pine trees, well as I was surveying the plot, I seen a few pines in the area. So I took of, I have to remember to take my walking stick at all times no matter how easy it looks. I walked in and around several large ground hog holes, need stick, and located and walked around all pines looking for the cache. Seen nothing, I tend to look low for caches but not all are low. Walked over too a blue bird house, empty, in bad shape. Then I went back to the start area and walked around all pines again, as I was walking around the last bunch of three trees, I had my hand on the tree and was looking down at the ground, and when I look up this is what I saw right in front of my face, startled me a little. I knew right away it was fake and was the cache! What a fun container! It is aways a delight to find things like this after looking and looking what seems like forever but was only about 15 min. This is only one of about three unique containers that I have come across. One that stands out was a peanut butter jar covered with bark to look like a mini log, was very real looking a good camo job. Back to the dove, when I walked around to the front I seen the white tube sticking out with the log in it. Took the log out and signed it , said good bye to geese and was off to my next quest.
In all I found 3 of 4 while on my way to son's.
It is suppose to be cool and rainy this week so might not get much work done to finish up the garage roof. Guess that means work in side for me. I will be so glad when this is all done, but I must remind myself its not getting done by itself!
Thats all for now stay tuned to see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Caching

KOOL CACHE, INTERESTING THING

INTERESTING THING
KOOL CACHE AREA

KOOL CACHE WEATHER: 71 with lot of sun shine.
Maggie and I went caching today, after making a meat loaf for dinner time. We went to the west side of the Shenango Dam and to the Ohio line. All the caches were in the woods, so Maggie waited in the car. I am afraid of her getting ticks and besides she doesn't like to go in the wood or brush. We went in search of 5 caches and found 4 not bad. I am not going to blog about them today because 1 Camera batteries died. I am going back to the caches and take pic. and 2 I have others to blog about
So the cache of the day is a kool one I found few weeks ago, on a lonely back road, dirt road no less. The hint for this cache was "chair" and in the pic above you can see why. Actually there was 2 of these chairs and some other trash, they just hid cache under chair against a tree. I don't think the owner of the cache was the trasher. I took some trash out with me. The cache was a little in the woods by one of those gas wells.
One thing that amazes me is all the trash I run across while caching, from the road you can not see it all and don't realize its there. Why are people so sloppy. It really really bad out there, the caching community have a slogan : CITO Cache In Trash Out. I try to take out as much as I can when I am out and about.
The other pic I posted is and interesting thing I saw while caching last week, every where I went I kept smelling this sweet smell, I was looking all around for a lilac bush, but none were seen. Finally after a few miles and caches I looked and seen this giant bush, on further inspection I figured out it was a honeysuckle bush and they seem to be all over the place this year. Must be because of the wonderful spring we are having.
Well that's all for now, stay tuned and see what comes next.
Happy Caching

TRAVEL CACHE , OUT MY WINDOW IN FL

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
TRAVEL CACHE WEATHER: Temp in 70's Rain this AM but sun shine this PM
The first pic is birds that come around the neighborhood in Florida. The seem to make the rounds, as every day you see them in someone else's yard. They eat bugs and such in the yards They are such neat birds, so cute.
There is a small park close by where they play baseball, and it has a couple small ponds. There is a flock of these birds ( name Ibis ) that hang around there. Maggie and I would go there to eat some lunch and feed these birds several times a week. When we would pull up to park the would come running up and surround the truck. It is so funny, I guess they have grown accustomed to the free hand outs they get there, and they seem to be there around lunch time only, when everyone is on lunch break.
The second pic is the cache of the day. It was in Woodbine GA. I found it on the way back from FL. It is a typical lamp post , parking lot cach. This one was behind a out of business Burger King.
Judy left a comment on yesterdays post asking what a muggler was. Answer:
Muggle: (or muggler) A non-geocacher
I guess there is muggle in Harry Potter but that is not where muggle started I read about it somewhere and can't remember but it was before HP.
Today son came back and worked on the garage some more we hope to get it done this week, cleaned out and the we can start to clear out the basement. I am so happy that he is helping me I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for him helping.
Here are a few terms used in the geocaching world.

"TFTC" is one of the more commonly used acronyms, standing for "Thanks For The Cache".
"TFTH" is "Thanks For The Hunt"
"TNLN" is an acronym for "Took Nothing, Left Nothing"
"SL" is an acronym for "Signed Log"
"GZ" is an acronym for "Ground Zero" or "Geo-zone"
"CITO" is "an acronym for "Cache In Trash Out" and refers to picking up trash on the hunt.

INTERESTING TODAY, A CACHE & FUN TIME

WHAT I SEEN TODAY
HIDDEN CACHE

THE CACHE WEATHER TODAY : Temp 74 part sunny.
Today's cache is one we found yesterday, sort of in the rain. I got tired of sitting around waiting for the rain to come, it was dark with clouds all day, so about 3pm we went out. This one was in a cemetery. I got there and wouldn't you know it there were mugglers all over the place, what the heck were they doing out on rainy day. I think that maybe a couple were cachers, they had the road in the cemetery blocked (they are skinny) so I just backed up and left in search of another cache which I did not find. When I came back to this one all was clear for me to find and I did!
It was not too hard to find, when I went in to the wooded area the right way, sometimes I take the hard way in. It was fun to find. The hint was don't forget to sign the LOG.
I decided that while I was out caching I would try and find at least one interesting thing to show and blog about. This one was this tiny house in the cemetery, at first when I was approaching it I thought wow, who would live right in a cemetery! As I got closer I could see no one lived there now but as some point in time someone did. It is well kept and in great shape. And so cute. I also seen a tiny yellow and black bird, I think it was a finch, I have been looking for birds when I go out and about, they seem to be far and few between here in NWPA, maybe they are just getting here from their winter home.
Well that's it for now, stay tuned and see what tomorrow brings!

LOCAL CACHE, MY CACHE BAG, & POOR MAGGIE

LOCAL TOWNSHIP PARK
THE CACHE IS IN THERE!

MY CACHE BAG


POOR MAGGIE!
WEATHER : TEMP 54 (MAYBE) COLD SUN & CLOUDS
Toady's cache is in a local township park, and we went looking for it the other day, in the rain! I was checking the geocache.com site and seen there was a new cache and no one had logged it yet.
Oh boy, maybe my first, FTF (first to find). So of we went in the rain, was not raining much when we left but when we got to the park it was coming down pretty good, and as you can see the cache is somewhere across that field and in the woods. At the edge of the woods it was quite swampy and soon we had wet feet and wet fur. I should learn to listen to Mrs Garmin -Geeea (GPS) because most often she is right. I thought because of the over cast sky it would be off. So I went off on my own thinking where it might be, wrong! So I was sloshing looking and finally found it, very nice hide. Hurried and opened looking for what I thought would be an empty log book. Found it and bummer was not FTF. All the while Maggie is wondering around the edge of the wood, getting muck & mud all over her sweet little body. So we high tailed it back to the truck, good thing I have a rug for her to sit on, because we were a mess. But I must say we had fun too.
When we got home poor Maggie had to get a bath, so here is her pic, much to her humiliation, lol,
you can see it in her face! What a sad sack!
I thought I would show you my caching pack. The Coke back pack I take with everything in it, and the Steeler fanny pack I take for short walk around looking cache. In the packs I have
1. Small LED flashlight.
2. Scissors.
3. Multi knife.
4. Tweezers / hemostat
5. Screw driver
6. Rubber gloves
7. First aid kit.
8. Snacks
9. My walking stick.
I am sure as time goes by and I get more experience I will be adding and taking away some items. I have already got some ideas from reading the net, some things that will come in handy.
Like one of those mirrors on a long extractable rod, the kind you can get in auto stores, I want to get one of those. There is a cache in Florida that I am sure is on some bleachers at a ball park , but I can not get down on my knees and look for it. The mirror would work great.
Well that's all for now, stay tuned and see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Caching
G&M
PS Almost forgot, I also have a bag of swag, (trade items) I have everything from CD's to small thingy's to leave and trade. One of these post I will show my swag bag. Someday I hope to buy some TB's. Travel Bugs

WINCHESTER CACHE, REPAIR KIT & LAZY SUN.

WINCHESTER VA CACHE THE CACHE


GEOCACHE REPAIR KITWEATHER: Temp 60 Rain T Storms most of the day. Some sun shine.
Did not do much this day every time the sun would peek out I would go out and then the rain drops came. So I just lazed around on the Internet.
The first pic is of a cache I found in Winchester VA on my way home from Florida. It was a stop over at my daughters, so I did a little caching. It was across the road from an Industrial Park. Not many mugglers about so it was not too hard to find. But it was early spring and by the time summer gets here the growth will be in full bloom and will not be that easy. I wish my finds were a little more exciting so I could give you a good blog about them, oh well sometime I will have fun things to blog about while caching. Still looking for a caching partner.
A pack of "stuff" always comes along with me when I am caching. One of the things I carry is a geocache repair kit. It is for geocaches that I come across that need maintenance. I found one the other day in a key box and the log was so wet you could not even unroll it. So I took a jewelry baggie and thin strip of paper and started a new log, then emailed the owner about it. My kit as pictured, contains :
That universal fixer upper duct tape. It can temporally fix just about anything, your walking stick, plastic cache containers, wrap sprained ankles. Ya never know!
I always have a couple extra cache containers along also. Just to use temporally until the owner can take care of it.
Last but not least is some good glue, I have super glue and a tacky glue for any repairs that might come along. If you do a repair be sure and let the owner the condition of the cache and what you did. It takes only a couple extra min to do this and makes the game much more fun for everyone. That's it for now stay tuned to see what tomorrow will bring.
Anyone ready this?
Happy Caching

HOLLYHOCKS, LUNCH , & A CACHE

HOLLY HOCKS
LUNCH

FLORIDA CACHE AREA


THE CACHE WEATHER: Temp around 60 mostly cloudy but still nice with a few rain drops.
The first pic is of the hollyhocks I have around my side door. The were planted well over 50 yrs ago. I have lived here for 33 years and most of that time I kept them cut down and they did not bloom. So a couple years ago when I retired and had more time I let them come up and they were just beautiful. I love flowers.
Lunch today I made green Chile chicken enchiladas. Since I am trying to make new eating habits I used FF items in them. And frankly I could not tell the difference. The tasted great. I had one to many for the dish so had to lay one on the top, that's why it looks funny.
The cache of the day is one that I found in Florida, its a tribute to Boy Scouts. Its located in a strip mall in front of a Boy Scout store. If you click on the pic to enlarge it , you will see an electrical out let, well its a fake if you open it up you see purple string pull it and out pops the cache. Sign the log and put it back. The first time I went after this cache my Mrs. Garmin-Geea AKA : GPS, took me out behind the store, and from the hint I knew it was not there. So I went back to google maps and took another look and seen where it was.
Today was suppose to be cool and rainy, but turned out with a little sun shine and not much rain till late afternoon. I went out to my brothers and we worked on the garden for awhile, raking, pulling out last years crop stubs, and getting all the rubble left from last fall. Came home worked out in the yard for awhile then had rain drops so that was the end of that.
Yesterday Judy and Emma commented on my log about being a volunteer in our National Parks.
I think I am going to look into this when I go back to Florida.
Well that's all for now stay tuned and see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Caching

LAST FL CACHE & ROSES

BEAUTIFUL ROSES
THE CACHE

THE CACHE AREA WEATHER: Temp 62 and sunny!
The first pic is of my daughters rose garden on the side of her home. This pic was taken a couple years ago. This past winter with the huge amount of snow they had in VA, the Jacobs Coat rose in the middle of pic under her kitchen window, was totally ruined. The trellis it was growing on collapsed and the weight of the snow done the whole thing in. In the foreground to the left you can see her rose tree. These grow well in VA , but I had one and had to set it inside each winter. On the back beside the blue shed you can see the lovely white climbing rose, this now is 3 times that size. It survived the winter. She said that she will not replace them with those kind of roses she is going with all Knockout Roses. Low maintenance.
The last cache I found in Florida before I left was this one. I guess the owner of the cache put it on his mail box so I guess that made it ok. Was easy to find.
Yesterday was a nice warm sunny day again and I worked in the garage again. Still throwing away and yard sale junk. I have some things that my dd might want to paint on, I told her I would save that stuff for her, but they would have to bring their truck up this summer and get it all. I have junktique , old windows, old door panels, etc stuff like that. Sometimes I don't think I am making much progress, and get discouraged. So much work , maybe I should just go in and pitch it all out for the garbage man ! Also mowed the yard and did a load of laundry
Today Maggie and I took a break and went to a few yard sales, (got nothing) and then went on a geocache run. Found nothing.
It is suppose to rain and be cool the next days, so that will put my work inside.
I have been reading a few blogs of full time RV people and some of them volunteer in National Parks, that is something I would love to do. I am trying to figure out how to do it and still be around for my dad. Any ideas?
Well that's all for now, stay tuned and see what tomorrow brings

SPOOKIE CACHE TREE & MEDICARE

BEAUTIFUL TREE
SPOOK IE OLD CACHE WEATHER 70 sunny beautiful!
We have had a really nice spring this year. It's about time the last 5 yrs I think have been nasty.
Even cool summers.
The first pic is a beautiful tree in my brothers yard. I think it is some kind of Magnolia not like the pink ones you see, this one has different white flowers on it.
The cache of the day is one I found a couple weeks ago. I have waited all year to get this one, as it has tons of poison ivy and large wood chuck holes, that are covered over in the summer and fall.
We stopped pulled of the road and I walked up and found it in short order. I did not take a pic of the cache because I forgot to carry my camera up with me. So I just took a pic of the cemetery to show you. It is a really old old one that is family owned, and it has not been taken care of at all.
I guess now I am officially old, I got my Medicare card in the mail a couple weeks ago.
Yesterday I had an appointment with a independent insurance man to see about supplement health ins and see about the drug programs. He was very helpful in explaining it all to me, and I found a plan and now I am all set for when I turn 65 in June. That was a relief as the info the government sends you is a little hard to understand.
Worked in the garage today getting rid of stuff and getting stuff ready for flea market time.
Ya know you can purge one, two , three, times and still do it again. Its never ending it seems like
but it has to end sometime, as I am moving. And I can't wait.
Well that's all for now stay tuned and see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Caching

CACHE, JAGGERS , AND PAINT

IT'S IN THERE!
THE CACHE WEATHER : Nice day about 60 and sunny.
We went looking for some chopped down trees to use for walking sticks. Last fall I found some so went there looking again, but none this time. So while we were out we went looking for a couple geocaches. We did not find those, all that I found were ton of Jagger's, and they found me! Good thing I had long pants and shirt on. One I looked for down by the Shenango Lake, I was looking at the wrong co-ords and spent over an hr looking wow, how dumb can you be.
Since I had DNF's today I will show you one I found last week when we were out and about. This one was in a cemetery with more jaggers, but I found it. The GPS took me to GZ and it was by a tree, where I thought it might be. Well I was just about too look the tree over and looked down and there it was lying on the ground. It was a film canister wrapped with camo tape to a stick.
I didnt think that was where it was suppose to be, so I signed the log and put it in a crevice in the tree. I think it was taped to a branch that broke off. I emailed the owner and told him about it, he emailed back and said it was not suppose to be on the ground and thanked me and said he would fix it. There was alot of trash at this cache people throwing away things from the cemetery.
Got the bathroom woodwork all done. Looks pretty good. Think I will now paint the vanity, I tested a spot today and it looks like it will be ok. Sure is a lot to do.
Thats it for now, stay tunned and see what tomorrow brings!
Happy Caching
