We can't compete with the cuteness of the previous finders but we did find the cache and sign the log book. Thanks DanVero for placing and maintaining these caches in the area. We ran out of time today but the others give us another reason to drive over here and enjoy the scenery. | |||||

We just drove down here from Traverse City in Michigan to escape winter and enjoy the sun. We love our Lake Michigan, no sharks, no salt, but we'd rather wade and swim in the water instead of walking or skating on it. As soon as we got settled into our Palm City condo we came over to Hutchinson to enjoy the views. This cache is one of the reasons we became addicted to this activity. Truly, were it not for Geocaching, we would never have known that this beach access existed. We were the only ones in the parking lot today as we signed the log and replaced the container as found. Also, this is the first time we've see this neat and inexpensive method of keeping the contents dry. TFTC | |||||

We scooted out of Michigan last week just ahead of winter and moved into our Palm City condo. After unpacking and getting settled, we had to come over and make sure there is still an ocean out there. This is our favorite viewing park and lo and behold, just to add to our pleasure, there is a new cache here. We invited some friends to come down but they just sent us this message; It’s Winter in Michigan And the gentle breezes blow. Seventy miles an hour, At thirty-five below. Oh how I love Michigan When the snow’s up to your butt. You take a breath of winter air And your nose gets frozen shut. Yes, weather here is wonderful, So I guess I’ll hang around. I could never leave Michigan ‘Cause I’m frozen to the ground! After waiting out two cars of muggles, we signed the log, took the pic and replaced as found. TFTC

The Basswood Bend snowbirds have just escaped the ice and snow of northern Michigan and landed in Palm City for the winter. A glance at the iPad showed that this cache was just across the green from our condo. As part of a morning walk, the cache was grabbed, log signed, and replaced as found. Thanks gettinlate for gettin me off my rump and out for a stroll this morning. | |||||
Armistice Day (which coincides with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day, public holidays) is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. While this official date to mark the end of the war reflects the ceasefire on the Western Front, hostilities continued in other regions, especially across the former Russian Empire and in parts of the old Ottoman Empire.My parents always referred to November 11 as Armistice Day - and I still think of it that way, although the name Veterans Day has been in use for decades! Old habits die hard.

We are a couple of snowbirds on our way south for the winter. We made the mistake of hitting Atlanta during rush hour and, although we vowed to cross the line into the Sunshine State by evening, we were running out of both daylight and energy by the time we reached Ocala. We actually landed the last double at the motel where we stopped. This morning we launched our Florida stay with this find. Thanks for starting us off with a smiley. | |||

A couple of Wolverines on our way to our Florida condo for the winter spent the night in the motel down the hill. I needed to stretch my legs and saw there was a cache only 2 tenths of a mile away. A look at the climb or hike changed my mind so we drove up to find it on the way to dinner. Signed the log, managed to get it back in the container and returned it to its hiding spot. TFTC | |||

A couple of Snowbirds fleeing the cold stopped for lunch on the trip south. After a fine meal, we checked for nearby caches and saw one within 100 feet of the car. Can't pass that up. Made the find, signed the log and replaced in its cool hiding spot. TFTC |

Thank you Barb, Sharon and Susan :)I wonder if your packing is done. I wonder how you are feeling! I hope that by now you are more happy that condo construction is under way than sad about leaving your home of so many years.

Safe travels to you! Enjoy sunshine and being close to Laurie, Chip, and Dylan. We'll see you in the summer.With love,Susan
