FFF in the ONF





What a Fantastic Saturday, we got up bright and early to Make our Journey by Geo Truck to The ONF (Ocala National Forest) For the FFF (Floridas Finders Fest).


Upon Ariving we found Lots of Fellow Cachers Mulling about ,waiting for the Oficial Expalnation of the Race before we begin.


We of Course had to wait until 10:30 to start our leg of the "race" but the wait was well worth it, we got to check out some neat scenery , and even met a couple fellow cachers..


So when it was our time we hopped in the Trucks provided to take us to the Dumping grounds where we would start the race...what a bumpy ride!...


We took along our Sons Little Red Waggon incase the two yonger cachers got to tired..and really only one did and it was our little cacher...but he quikly learned we were'nt getting to far with him in the waggon , and decided to walk a bit and then ride a bit.


As we Made our way thru the ONF trail that was platted out by our Great host ,IceCreaMan we found cache after cache , and even found some bounus points..


we were not in it for the win but for the experience and the exercise.My Husband Marc, was the one that kept eveyone in check, "nope your to far over to the left, just a little bit further up" he would say, to find the Cache, Army Training, always the thinker.


So on our final leg of the race onto our last find, we were left in the DUST by the Leader of our Team.. he halled Butt out of the ONF and onto the "Last Find".


I guess all His Marine Training paid off on this one...


the whole team consisting of Marc, Amanda, Mike , Maryjo, Jennifer, And Zach and our two Junior Cachers Travis and Brandy made it back to the End point in just under 3 hours not bad for Newbies .


The Whole thing was a awesome Expeirence, i would not trade for the world ( except maybe better shoes) ..


We saw some intersting things along the way...


we were all pretty tired and stinky but well worth it

Beautiful Day for a Kache

Sunday Oct 14th we decided to attempt the Ft Fraser trail again, this time we struck gold, we found 3 of the about 14 left on the trail, again however there was still one that eluded us.. "DON'T POKE THE TROLL" this Cacher makes it very difficult for others to find..but thats ok we like the challenge!

Ten Trek Fort Fraser Trail

Well We Started yesterday at the Highland city Meet and Greet, we met a few Fellow Cachers and Got some Freebies and a few Walking sticks, and we were on our way. the first one took us about 1 mile down the trail, we found what we were looking for and quickly put it back, only to be mobbed by others seeking the same foutune...
Onto the next one, we decided to hop in our Geo mobiles and Drive to the Begining of the trail hopefully avoid other cachers, not that we don't like them it just seems to take the fun out of things when others are on your Bum looking for the same thing. We searched for about 10 minutes and Bingo we found it, only to be Muggled By the LAW, but we made a quick Cover and were outta there.
Then We decided to do one more about a mile further down the trail, HA what A JOKE We were every where , even under thre bridge trying to find the Troll for help he was 'nt home, and , after one hour we decided enough is enough!.. we have to go back and ge that one !... there area about 17 on this Part of the Ten Trek Tails so we have to go back so we can log them all !
