T.C. to Oscoda to T.C.



Here is my best friend, the Geo-Addict - all decked out for a day in the woods - complete with gaiters. I love the picture because it shows the woods so well, and you can even see the trail winding off intriguingly into the distance. This was at the South Branch Trail Camp.

We intended to spend the entire day finding the S2S caches, beginning in Oscoda. But due to a glitch in the final cache combo lock, we had to start out back at Hopkins Creek. Thanks to Photobug2 (our Beta-tester) who did the entire 16 cache series (300 miles) on the first day that it was published, we knew that the combo lock wasn't programmed correctly. As Dick said, Kudos to Photobug2 !

We found nine caches today, beginning in Oscoda around noon, and ending at 7 p.m. near Luzerne. We had a Subway dinner in a park in Grayling, and got home around 9:30. Dick actually stayed up and logged all of the finds - I went to bed before he did - a rare occurrence.

Mother reported that Jenny's mother is training to become a caretaker as well. It seems that Ann is going to have surgery and will be gone for several weeks. I'm glad they're adding some new helpers.
