Geocaching: Time to Catch Up
I should really be writing about more of what we do besides geocaching as that hobby has taken a back seat to our craft work this year.
That said, we did take this past weekend to do some catch up caching. On 6/9 Saturday morning we were behind our goal of reaching another 100 caches for 2007 by 16 caches. I dug around on GASK and came up with a couple of spots that we could go to find larger numbers with less hiking. We ended up finding 11 on Saturday and another 8 on Sunday to get us back up to speed. On Saturday we worked our way around Keuka lake and picked up some interesting caches including one of those tiny micros the size of a large pencil eraser in the town of Hammondsport.
At the top of that same lake we were hiking on a wide trail along the lake to grab one of Rocky’s caches. As were turned a curve on the trail Bambi was there to great us. He must have been less than a week old based on how wobbly he was as we approached him. I grabbed a quick shot as he moved away. It’s not as clear as I would have liked but we were both moving when I got the camera ready.
Now that we are caught up we plan another outing involving some longer hikes in Sampson state park were the large white deer herd is located. Maybe I’ll be able to get some better shots.
