Geocaching Thursday

So I went out geocaching again this Wednesday. This time I looked up a couple of newly placed multi-caches in the Spenceville Wildlife Area, and one that I had visited with Mike a few years ago called "Scoping it Out." You start with finding a tree that has a sighting scope fixed to it that has an outcropping of rocks in it's cross hairs. At the rocks you find hidden the coordinates of a partial rock wall some distance away, and that's where you find the cache. This is the view from above the rock wall. You see that it was a cold, wet day. No rain - wet nonetheless.



I love tromping around the expanse of this area. Rolling hills, ditches and creeks (mostly wet, occasionally dry), rock formations, cows, sometimes a snake - there's even an old 3 acre olive orchard in one section. It's always pretty. The only problem is finding someone that will keep up with me. Maybe I'll take Grant out next time.

Oh, that looks so fun and pretty!! I doubt I could keep up with you, but it would be fun to try.

I need to do this again with you. I think I might be able to keep up better than last time.
And how do you get time in the middle of the week during the school year tro tromp around the hills? (jealosy)

That's a neat idea for a cache. What's the GC#?

Take Uncle Victor - he could keep up with anyone! I like that area in the winter much more than the summer. It looks so green a pastoral.
