Festivus 2

Sunday morning Louie and I got up early and headed out to grab a few caches before football started at noon.   We wanted to get the 2 remaining caches that had been released for the Festivus party because I hadn't gotten them on Friday night.  While we were out we grabbed 6 additional caches that were in the area.  So we got 8 caches in about an hour and a half and made it back home in time to thrown a pot roast in the oven to eat during the first football game.  Not bad, huh?

My favorite cache of the morning was called "Festivus 2 I Got a Problem With You People.  GC38HNB  This cache was placed in a nice little wooded area that runs right through the middle of a neighborhood.  We took a short hike down a trail that was lightly dusted with snow.......


There were actually 2 caches placed along this trail, but the one I really liked was placed way at the back end of the woods.  We had to cross a partially frozen stream and scramble up an embankment.....


Once on the other side of the stream it didn't take us too long to find the cache.  The cache itself was a nice size lock and lock container.  I dropped off a TB (travel bug) that I had picked up at the Festivus party...


On our way back to the cachemobile, we stopped to check out 2 man made shelters that we saw off the trails.....



Fortunately, nobody was home - I'm sure glad I'm not living back there!

  8. I love seeing the snowy images you post each time you go caching this winter, makes it feel more like Christmas! Much as I enjoy the sun and warmish weather, it feels really odd at this time of the year! :p
