Jake and I went out hunting for 9 caches this day. What fun!
The first two stops were in the neighborhood closeby. One street was SO busy. When the people finally went indoors and the cars stopped coming by, the mail lady came! Now we had to wait for her to finish the street LOL. I don't have a pic of that one because the people weren't home for me to ask. The next one was on a mailbox. Jake spied that one.
After that we went to a nearby church. This one was tough because it was just down a trail. We thought it was at the cross because of the hint, but not anywhere near it. But we found it!
Next was the library. A nice shiny little capsule hanging off that post. The satellite pics showed it way back in the woods so we tromped around there before deciding that the satellite was probably way off and let's just check that post on the way out....
On to the cemetery. This one was cool. It was hanging upside down inside the top cap of the fence corner post. Very good one! Had to take the pic from the car so it isn't very clear. But you can see the corner post back in the trees and palmettos. Pull that top cap off and inside is dangling a 35mm film canister. The graves are old too, was neat to see some history.
Those were our successes for the day. We had four failures that day, but that is okay. The first two were both at Target. Well guess what... the satellite photo of that area is a big area of TREES because there was no Target there at that time. It is new. So it was a bit hard. I tried to load up GPS on my phone for that day. But it wasn't quite accurate. So those 2 were no-go's. We spent at least 45 minutes just trying to figure them out even without a good photo.
The third one was very similar. It was at a StarBucks. But again... the satellite photos were Pre-Starbucks so it was another field and trees pic.
The fourth one was behind a WalMart. And even though it was mid afternoon I just didn't have a good feeling about traipsing around behind a shopping strip mall. It felt very unsafe so we'll have to go back with Ted.
We did great that day! All in all - good stuff!
