Caching Frenzy!

Dec 8th 2007 , 7 yrs of Wedded Bliss....and A Caching Frenzy.
We set out early in the am because we had to head down to The Hamlet Know as Frostproof. for the next TTT..
We found it with out a problem there was only one Cache at this leg of the TTT.
so we decided the night before that we would do a few other Local Frostproof Caches and then head to the Crooked lake Praire , which is the TTT for January as it would be on our way home from Frostproof.
Upon arival at this nice location we stocked our selfs with some H2o, Garmins and some swag, and off we went...The very Fisrt find there was a Travel Bug so we grabbed it . on to the rest there were 6 in all in the crooked lake praire.The main reason for doing this one was so that we could get our log books stamped and would 'nt have to worry about coming back down that way for a little while ( june is SUMICA) well would'nt ya know we ( ME IT WAS ME!!!) forgot our log books ...we will have to make the trip in January after all and get our books stamped.
The area was beautiful with Great views and some pretty neat plants and a few sand skinks here and there.
Some people will go to any lengths to get to a cache!

While others just sit and give orders...


After Crookerd Lake we went and found a few more here and there including another Caches for the TTT in Lake Wales, got our books stamped and we were on our way
all in all we gathered 15 Caches plus one EarthCache.. so we needed some Grub so off to a Little Fish Camp Called Cherry Pockets that sits right on Lake Pierce..we had some yummy grub and some good conversation. and then we parted ways...until the next Cache Run!

Green Swamp??



This past Sunday ( because we did'nt make it out on Saturday) we met up with our cacheing troop and headed to the Green Swamp.
I was thinking it would be a nice walk , with swamp marshes near ...They must of all dried up , because I did not see to much "swamp" at all...
It was a 5 mile Hike or walk round trip , we found some intersting Caches and Hiding spots . The most unique one was the "Bus Stop"

And Believe or not the women and children found this with the help of a Garmin ..No men! ( of course we went around in a circle in the woods for about 15 minutes).
The "trail" was all "chewed up" and hard to walk at certain points.
but enjoyable...
From what i understand ( from other Cachers) the "Bus Stop" use to be a "homestead"
as evidenced by a old refrig and stove inside one of the buses...Creepy because it was way back in the woods...
We made it out safe!
