Think Pink

The second geocache that I found with Ron this afternoon was called Think Pink. It was actually in the woods beside Presidential Lakes on the old Pink Trail that we used to ride our bikes on as kids. The trail goes on for miles and twists all through the woods, and this is another area I haven't been to in many many years. It was fun walking back there with Ron, being all nostalgic and laughing at the stupid things we did as kids. The cache itself wasn't hard to find, especially because it was appropriately colored pink. We forgot our pen in the car, so didn't get to sign the log, which sucks but is an excuse to go hiking another time...

Deep Hollow Pond

While visiting Ron today, we went out to hide his first geocache (Pink & Mossy). There were two other caches that we found nearby. The first was called Deep Hollow Pond, and the cache site was actually the floor of one of the long-since-disappearred cabins that used to circle the pond.It was a little weird being back by this pond because I haven't been anywhere near this area for over 10 years, and it's probably been closer to 15 years since I was actually by this pond.Walking through the woods in the middle of nowhere and seeing an old stone floor appear in front of you is weird enough. But the fact that the floor is in surprisingly good condition is even more unusual. There are actually a few other ruins like this around the pond too.
