Caching with the kids...

Brian and I took Ty and Gino out with us today. We were 2 for 2 this afternoon! The kids did great. Even though it was cold and windy and a little snowy at times, they had fun running around looking for the cache containers, then playing with the trinkets they traded.

The following picture is of Brian, Ty, and Gino after we found the geocache The Hawk's Cache.

The next picture is of Brian, Ty, and Gino after we found the geocache Big One, and the second picture is Gino and Ty standing inside what was left of a giant old dead tree in the area where we found the container.

This is the Spring Duckling 2008 Geocoin that Gino and I took out of the Big One cache.

Geocaching to Allstate

Stopped off for a few quick grabs on my way to Allstate in Medford, then again to pick up the kids in Maple Shade...

The following 3 pictures are from the geocache Ye Old Cellar. They are of an old stone cellar wall that still stands in the middle of an otherwise empty wooded area in Marlton.

The following 2 pictures are of Country Farms Pond. Even though I did not find this geocache, it was still a beautiful place to visit...

The following 2 pictures are of the Marlton United Methodist Cemetary and the actual cache container from the geocache An Eagle's Trail.

The following picture is of the memorial for John Penn at the geocache 1743 Potter's Field. It explains that John Penn deeded an acre of land to Evesham Township in 1743 for the burial of strangers, slaves, and the poor.

This picture is of the geocache Cachee Poppins PXII. It was pretty easy to find, but it was a long walk since I parked in the lot all the way on the other side of the field...

Geocaching to Grandma's

Gino and I decided to stop off for a few quick finds while on the way to Grandma's for dinner, but we didn't find either of the 2 we actually looked for.

Midnight Geocaching

Couldn't sleep. Decided to investigate a few local caches in the black of night...

Geocaching All Over

Today I found 4 geocaches, all of them spread pretty far across South Jersey. It just so happened that today I was working all over the place so I got a few easy ones.

The first geocache was What's This In My Side Yard? I looked right at the container and didn't really notice it the first time. Walked around in a big circle, slipped and almost fell down the hill, scratched my arm on a thorny thing, then ended up right where I started - looking right at the cache! I left the Mighty Shark Geocoin. The second part was beautiful. A historic little monument right in the middle of a residential community.

Another geocache that I found today was Church Woman of Lawnside. This was one of those places I've probably driven past hundreds of times, but still never noticed. It was nice to actually stop and appreciate the local memorial.

GEOCACHING - Multiples

I decided to leave work early and spend the rest of the afternoon doing a little geocaching while running some errands. This track shows 6 stops total, but I didn't find a few of the caches...

The first stop was again back to the Covered Bridge, and again I didn't find the cache.

The second stop of the day was to look for the geocache called One Wheel Forward. This one I found pretty quickly. It was a pretty clever spot for a cache and I had fun. It was a quick park-n-grab type. The cache itself was one of those really little magnetic nanos. It was tiny!

The third stop along the way was one called the Mini Bridge. I found the bridge pretty easily, but did not find the cache... I looked for a pretty long time but could not find the right spot. I think all the trees overhead might have had something to do with it though. I'll have to try this one again another time...

The fourth stop was at a geocache called Vanishing Circles, right where Routes 70 and 73 meet. It was a really cool place to put a cache because once you got out of the car and walked into the area you were completely hidden from everyone driving by. The road was right in front of you, but with all the brush and trees surrounding that little area nobody would ever see you. I found the cache after a few minutes of looking.

The fifth stop was to a geocache really close to the Vanishing Circles. This one was called Fast Food Nostalgia. The site was once a fast food joint called Marlton Burger Chef, which was demolished in 1977. The plot of land is still there, but the only thing remaining of the Burger Chef restaurant is the tile floor. It's actually really cool to walk into a little wooded area and see a tile floor. I found the cache here pretty easily.

The sixth stop was for a cache called An Eagle's Trail. The cache was hidden in a tiny little cemetery in Marlton that I never knew existed. I didn't find it, but it was neat to walk through the cemetery and see the tombstones from the 1800's.

Covered Bridge

Sarah and I tried to find the geocache Covered Bridge in Cherry Hill but were just couldn't. We looked all over but still did not find it. This is the second time now, and I'm definitely convinced that I need a better GPS. With that in mind, last night I bought a brand new unit online. It should arrive in a few days so now we'll see what's what!

Cache As Cache Can

Today I took Gino out to find the geocache Cache As Cache Can. It was in a nice little park in Haddonfield. It didn't take long to find. Gino decided to take a band-aid and leave a domino.

A Maze n Trek

I tried to find the geocache A Maze n Trek but just couldn't. Maybe it was because there was lots of brush and fallen leaves everywhere. Or maybe the GPS in my Blackjack II just isnt that accurate. I think the GPS is fine and it was just me not seeing the cache...
