PICK ME CACHE
READ ALL ABOUT IT CACHE
CACHING : Got to do some caching today even tho it was very cold with the wind blowing. Also woke up to an inch of snow! (no pic's) lol. First pic is a typical parking lot cache at the Pet Store, easy C&D not many mugglers out and about today. Second one I went looking for the Camping World store and could not find it....but did find the next cache you can eat and read all about it at Shoneys.
The third one (no pic's ) another parking lot C&D at Costco I tried this one yesterday afternoon with no luck, this store is a very busy one, so got it this AM when going to Dunkin Donuts to get coffee.
TRAVEL: On our way in the morning to Florida!! Weather should be good. Will take two days. I don't know when I will be posting hope the motel will have wifi, not sure as we have to go with who ever takes the puppy doggies. Just keep checking back.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MOUNTAIN MAKES!

CLEAR ROAD HANCOCK MARYLAND
HANCOCK CACHE



MORE HANCOCK CACHE Wow what a difference a mountain makes, from home to the Allegheny mountain tunnel on the PA turnpike, the road was a mess, so bad I could not get a pic to show you. Snowy cloudy a mess, then went thru the tunnel and on the other side there were peaks of blue sky you can see in first pic and dry road, from there the rest of the way to dd home. So with good weather we stopped in Breezewood, for a break. Then on down the road to Hancock MD to our first out of state cache. This was a fairly easy cache you can see the pic's above I took a TB and left a TB. Nice cache lots of goodies. The red M&M is the travel bug. The only exciting thing about this cache was that a policeman sat in his car about 50 feet away and watched me the whole time. But didn't bother me. Took about 6 hrs to get to DD home about 45 min longer than usual.
It is very cold here but not snowing!!!! Our plan is to leave here on Sat. morning for Fl I will try and do a few caches today look for updates tomorrow. By the way sitting here in living room typing this with sunshine streaming thru the window...haven't seen that in long time...makes us happy!

LEAVING YEAAAAAAAA

RODDY BUSH This is the last snow pic I will post this winter...unless it is snowing in Florida!! This is a pic of a giant rhododendron bush in my yard, in the spring it is one huge pink ball. I will post a pic of it then. I will be leaving in the morning first stop VA at my DD home. I hope I can do a few caches along the way so I can add some more states to my map, I don't mind the cold to cache in but snow makes it hard to find them. If I can't get them now I will try on my way back in March. So stay tuned for the travel'in fun.

DO I LIVE IN ALASKA?

SNOW
ALASKA?

DOWN TOWN SNOW


AND MORE SNOW Well I am still sitting here at home snowed in for the most part and beginning to think I live in Alaska. I am not a full time RV'er yet but I am living by some of the "rules" that they live by...like they say plans made in jello! My last plan was to leave on Sunday ....did not happen....I think it has been snowing day and nite since just after Christmas. Sometimes it is big wet flakes, sometimes a fine mist of snow , and sometimes its like a blizzard! It will be a day by day thing. I can get around town a bit, but don't want to chance going thru the mountains. The truck is all packed and we have just last min things to put in and take care of in the house.No geocaching going on here either, I hope to do some caching on the way to my DD in VA (our first stop) I have them all mapped out on my caching papers, I have 3 travel bugs to drop and one geocoin to drop on the way. And I would like to get caches in every state I pass thru.
Over the snowy weekend I made a Face Book page so I will post a link here as soon as I figure it out. Sure wish I could get more geocachers to check out my blog. Don't forget to visit my other blog http://redapplejunction.blogspot.com/
Thanks for stopping by.

WAVING BYE BYE

SNOWMEN WAVING BYE BYE TO GRAMMY N MAGGIE
TO MUCH SNOW! Well as you can see by the pic of snowmen..that we are not leaving yet. Bummer :( like a blizzard around here today and again tomorrow...just seen on news that it will be worse tomorrow. So here we sit ...all ready to go, our last min check list made , gassed up ...so when will it be?
What I have seen it is suppose to snow way into next weekend, but at least the winter storm warning will end Sun at 6 pm. My first stop will be in Va at my DD house, I go down the PA turnpike and it goes thru the Allegheny mountains and that is the problem after leaving the lake effect snow here at home. No caching being done either at 13 deg. today. Not much to do but wait it out. I am not good at waiting. lol
all for now
