So we were'nt the only ones

As i Blogged about it yesterday, the one that had us stumped x2 turns out it had others stumped, one of the teams actually found the Cache except it was pretty far off the Posted Coords...So They posted to the owner of the Cache to fix it ...so he did....and now we can go and try to find this one .. but we won;t be the FTF but that's OK i don;t like leaving things undone !

Not so good

Well, we started of gung ho today attempting to find 4 Caches..
The First of the 4 was a Brand New Placed one as of 8/25 and there was a pretty neat first finder gift so we wanted that !..but, it didn't want us...Marc Searched for about an hour and although the GPS had it locked at Zero .. he came up with a big FAT nothing....so on to bigger and better things....
Betty Sprinkle, somewhat of a famous person i gather , here in our little town of Kissimmee, we found her sitting on the park bench, and shortly there after we found the cache, bid our farewells to Lady Sprinkle and off we went .. to the Artsy Fartsy...This one has us riding around in circles...but we managed to find all of the clues , that would eventually lead us to the Cache.
When we arrived at the Cache intended spot we had to leave , there were to many Electric Mugglers near by.. so onto the next one...Once again leading us to the Lakefront, we were off on our merry way...Wait.. Mugglers again...so we just waited around in the 90 degree heat until they Muggs left...Again this one Has us stumped.. we searched for what seemed like a freaken eternity with all intentions of seeking this one because we were not going to go out empty handed again...Once again.. it got the best of us and we decided to leave it for another Hopefully cooler day....Off to Target we went......
Then The Non giver up in our Family MARC decided nope I'm going to try and go find that one "artsy fartsy " again...still Mugglers around...so off we went to try and find the first one we tried today.. i told Marc ill give you 20 minutes ( no way was i getting out it was to far into the woods with impending weather approaching) so about 15 minutes into the hunt i picked up the Geocell and told him ...Pick it up its starting to rain over here....out of the woods he came once again empty handed....I think this one will have us and many others Stumped for a while.....

The Lighthouse

While on Vacation last week, we decided to take a trip to Ponce Inlet Lighthouse,
One) because i love lighthouse's and, Two) because there were Plenty of Caches all around the grounds of the lighthouse.
Well, we went in looked around a little , Read a little History, then off into the woods, Taking looks behind us to make sure there were no Mugglers following...
So here we are in the middle of the woods ( what Florida calls the woods), Marc has a Lock on the GPS and i say " whats this called again "? and a voice from Behind says "Lighthouse look out" i turned around to find a Gentleman standing behind me with a Garmin around his Neck, I laughed and said "ahhh you must be looking for the same thing"...so the two Men worked side by side to find the Cache, once it was found ,logged and then placed back , we all got to chatting about this New Found Fun we had just discovered....
The Experience In its self is Awesome, but even better is the wonderful People you meet....

watch out for

The poison Ivy and oak..

Marc's Ankles are Torn up from either or...not fun...
they say venturing into the deep brush that in habits some of Central Florida can be Dangerous ...and very itchy

When i hear something rustling around in the brush ,im outta there ...i leave the rest behind ( except the 5 yr old ) and run for the Hills , or at least head to the way we came in....

Oh and Let me tell you the SIZE of these "Banana" spiders .. are nothing to shake a stick at...

Our Family Fun

First Blog:
We discovered this fun and exciting thing to do recently , Geocaching, its fun for the whole family.
WE call it "Treasure Hunting" for our 5 yr old and he gets so excited...
I guess you could call it Hide and Seek with Strangers to.
Just think we are using Million Dollar Satellites, to find Tupper ware in the woods , who would of thunk that ?....
Happy Caching !
