I suppose geocachers in the area are once again happy to be out, searching for those elusive Tupperware boxes.  It's been a long, cold, snowy winter and Woodhick803 and I are certainly among those happy to be traipsing through the woods and along the concrete to find hidden treasures.

Do you see the cache hidden here?  It's right there, in plain sight.  No?  Check again.  It's the little silver panel.  Yep, that's it.  We encountered several of these fellas during the day, all placed by the same cacher.  The first one had Woodhick and me puzzled, but after that we were able to spot them from a moving car.  Hehe - I didn't even realize there were any telephone stands left.  Seems like everyone anymore has a cell phone stuck to their ears.

We found a cache nicely hidden at Little Beaver State Park.  I can't remember the last time I was out there.  Obviously years and years ago.  Woodhick and I reminisced about swimming at the lake during our childhoods.  There used to be a diving platform where all the teens congregated and sock hops were held in the pavilion several times during the summer.  I was much too young to enjoy either of those.  My mother used to sew a button to the shoulder strap of my swimsuit and that was as far as I could go out in the water.  Pretty smart, huh? 

Those were the summers of
"Ahab, the Arab" (accent on the "A", please) and "Purple People Eater".  Long time ago.  Anyway, these are two photos of our hike to "Woody Chair" and yes, that is indeed a water crossing.

The nicest find was SS Geo, at the Shady Spring Library.  No, not the cache, but these harbingers of SPRING!!!!  Remember how Snoopy did his Happy Dance when it was dinnertime?  That's how I felt when I discovered the crocuses.  IT'S GONNA BE SPRING!!!!






Always a fun day out geocaching with my brother.  I have spent more time with him during the last two or three years than ever before and have discovered that he's really okay.  LOL!  Love you, big brother.

Before I forget, we had a delicious lunch at the local Indian restaurant, Aangan.  Sure hope that place stays in business.

Get outside and play!
