A Multiple Choice Kind of Day

16 July, 2011

Remember those multiple choice tests in school where two of the choice options were (C) NONE of the above; (D) ALL of the above?  The latest geocaching expedition fell into the "(D) ALL of the above" category, with cache types of many different varieties.

Wiscongranny, Woodhick803, and I started the day off at Camp Creek State Park at Mash Fork Falls.  Not much of a falls today though, but look at that lovely flat rock.  I want to bring my martial arts friends here and do tai chi on that rock.  The cache was the (A) hidden on the ground behind some sticks type.

Wiscongranny and Woodhick803 at Brushcreek Falls State Park, near Athens, WV.  This cache was of the (B) take a nice hike in the woods and (C) bet you can't find it hidden in the rock wall types.

Beautiful falls here at Brush Creek State Park.  I'm guessing there was probably a 20 - 30 foot drop in the falls, but what you can't see is that behind the falls to the left there is a nice little cave.  Just makes me think of the chi gong exercise I do where I visualize myself standing under a waterfall, breathing in clean energizing air to the dan tien.

This cache definitely fell into the (D) cool! category.  Yes, it's an honest-to-goodness hollowed-out tree stump.  The top of the stump was sawed off to become the lid. 









We also had an (E) interesting concept cache.  This was going to be a cache where you replaced the state quarter hidden in the cache with another state quarter that had not been placed there.  Fortunately, WG and WH had a stash of quarters in their glove box where we found one for American Samoa, the replacement quarter!  But we had to take a DNF on this one.

We also had some caches of the (F) easy to find even for newbies type - guard rail caches and light post skirt caches.

Lunch at Campestre in Princeton.  Yum!

And, of course, the requisite ice cream stop.  Here you see Wiscongranny and me (BatikFreak10) waiting at Dairy Queen.  Woodhick stood in the middle of route 19 to snap this photo!

 A great geocaching day.  Good company, good caches, good food.
