Old Settlers Cemetery was small and out of the way. I do love an historic cemetery.
Check out the old tilted headstones. They remind me of crooked teeth....
Go Navy was located at a military memorial. Unfortunately the high winds last weekend broke and blew down 2 of the flags. We found them flapping on the ground. We picked them up and tried to secure them off the ground before we looked for the cache...
Another well hidden cache....
Life is a Gas was my favorite cache of the day. It was a gas nozzle - very clever! We had actually tried to find this cache last year when we were in the area, but it had been missing. We were happy to see that it had been replaced....
Here's an example of a well crafted and nicely hidden cache. It was a hollowed out bolt....
How do you like this well hidden cache?
Rocket J was a perfect name for this squirrel in a tree cache....
I always like to find an ammo can cache....
Or a small cache hiding out in a tree...
How do you Measure Up? is a great example of a creative cache. The log sheet was taped onto the measuring tape and you had to pull it out to sign it. I have to remember this one!
We had a great day in Hobart, Indiana. It's right next to Merrillville, Indiana where we went geocaching last July. This area is ripe with fun caches. In fact, there is a forest preserve there with a bunch of great caches around it that I am eyeing. Future day trip - here we come!
Take 2 minutes to go over and sign up for EBATES! It's a great cash-back program where you can earn real $ rebates when you buy items online. They are going to have a double-cash back special going on. Seriously, go check it out!
Why you should use EBATES
Sign up for EBATES - It's FREE. They work with big name stores like Amazon, Marriott Hotels, Penney's, Walmart, Neiman Marcus, Bath & Body Works, Groupon, Sears and Kohl's among many others.
Here's basically how it works...
- Sign up on their site and use their links whenever you buy something on-line. Hey, if you're going to order something on-line, why not use it and get the rebate credit, right? With the holidays coming up, lots of you are going to be ordering gifts from on-line stores and if they are affiliated with the Ebates program, you're going to get a rebate. Why in the world wouldn't you use them and get that money back? It's money in your pocket.
Here's an example - say you want to book a hotel using Hotels.com. You click on their EBATES link and you'll see a page like this. You choose it and it will redirect you to Hotels.com and when you book it, you get 4 % back. Holy cow!! Easy right?
- Ebates makes their payments to you 4 times a year. I signed up last year and I've gotten money back every quarter. If you want, you can have your money sent to your Pay Pal account. What could be easier?
- You also earn money when you refer people and they sign up and use Ebates. More free money! For every 3 people who sign up and use it, YOU earn $ 100.00. Yes, one hundred dollars.
Use this link. Use me as a referral and I will earn a few dollars from it. Sign up now and earn money in your pocket almost every time you purchase something on line. Thanks!
