Geocaching Leather-man

Last weekend 7/23/2006 we set out a course for a twelve mile hike. Six miles up and six back down.

This hike was for four caches, two going and two coming back. It was a day full and we took some friends that had never been caching. This weekend we also got to watch some eagles flying above this lake which was the down side of the hike:

A couple of the hides were pretty tough and when we looked them up, they were hidden by a cacher here that is known for tough hikes followed by tricky hides. We did another of his caches earlier this year and it was in the middle of a quarter acre of briars.

This was the view from the top of the hike:

It’s a long way down there and for some reason, it is even longer going back up

Now that I’m about caught up I should be posting more often as time permits. In the mean time, HAPPY CACHNG!!

During the month of July we did some great caches in our area.

The oldest cache East of the Mississippi is only 8 miles from our house and is named “The Spot“. It was a great hike and reminded us what this whole activity was like when it first began. That is how we have set up our hides and will continue to do it the same way even if very few people want to put in the effort to find a cache and have an interesting experience along the way.

Here is a shot of the lookout about 100 feet above the cache site:

When we were leaving the area a young eagle began circling us and singing all the way back to the car. It continued to follow and circle us as we started for home. All in all, it was one great day.

It’s been a month or so since I have had the time to post.

Yesterday, I moved the blog from Blogger over to this domain and set it up with WordPress. So far, I like the way this system works but it took a little scripting to get it close to what I was looking for.

We did a few nice, long hikes and there are some images to go with them. I’ll get them listed here in the next day or so as time is tight while we get ready for the Park Ave. Art Festival next weekend in Rochester, NY.
