Some of Our Weekend Caching

8/19/2007 You found Don't Fall for City Hall
We spent the weekend working on finding a cache in each of the UP counties. To commemorate the finds, we have been naming one of our 50th Anniversary Geocoins after the county and placing it in one of that county's caches. Since we were running out of weekend, Delta was to be our last stop before the dash for home. We were afraid that this cache would be too small but as luck would have it, our Delta coin just fit. Found the cache about 3:00, signed the log, dropped the coin and hit the road. Thanks for the cache.



8/19/2007 You found Apple Blossom Trail Cache
We spent the weekend working on finding a cache in each of the UP counties. To commemorate the finds, we have been naming one of our 50th Anniversary Geocoins after the county and placing it in one of that county's caches. We chose Apple Blossom as the spot to start out Iron County coin. It was a pleasant walk to the cache along a beautiful trail. The hide is very well designed and appreciated. We will move the Silver Fox TB. We left some Sun and Bug wipes as well as our coin. Thanks much for the fun.


8/19/2007 You found Roadside Park in Powers
We came up across the bridge for a weekend in which we hoped to find a cache in each county that thus far had eluded us and to begin the travels of one of our new 50th Anniversary Geocoins in it. This cache in Powers seemed to be perfect. We found it quickly and signed the log, left a stuffed Walrus and launched our Menominee coin. Thanks for the hunt.

8/19/2007 You found US 2 and M 95 Travel Bug Resort
We came up across the bridge for a weekend in which we hoped to find a cache in each county that thus far had eluded us and to begin the travels of one of our new 50th Anniversary Geocoins in it. A conveniently located TB Exchange was perfect for us. Here we launched our coin, "Dickinson". We also picked up a few TB's that we think we can help along the way. Thanks for such a fun stop.

8/19/2007 You found Ghost Town of the Pine Days
Rats! We are on a quest to find a cache in each of Michigan's 83 counties and thought this was in Gogebic. Just a couple of miles short of the line. We enjoyed the ride through the red pine plantation and the history of the spot. Thanks for bringing us back here.

8/19/2007 You couldn't find Another Roadside Park...
We are on a quest to find a cache in each of Michigan's counties and launch one of our coins in it. We had hoped that this would be our Gogebic cache. Alas it was not to be. We looked in the spot that both the clue and the GPS led us but could not find a cache. Oh well.

8/19/2007 You found Bruce Crossing
A quick stop and grab, the log book is full so we left a new mini log in the container. TFTC

8/18/2007 You found Cliff Mine History Lesson
We enjoyed the history lesson. It is neat to walk back in the woods and find such a huge patch of myrtle. Amazing what nature can do in a hundred years. We took a number of pictures and traded a geopin and a pack of Crayolas for some shark teeth. Thanks for the hunt.

8/18/2007 You found SENECA LAKE
We are on a quest to find a cache in each of Michigan's 83 counties. This morning we drove from Naubinway to the Keweenaw, the thermometer in the car read 33º. What's up with that? We found the cache quickly about 2:00 and signed the log. We had some coins made up to commemorate our 50th wedding anniversary and we started the one we have named Keweenaw here. Thanks for the fun.

8/18/2007 You found Where's the Light?
We are on a quest to find a cache in each of Michigan's 83 counties. This morning as we drove up from Naubinway, the thermometer in the car read 33º. What's up with that? Looking for a spot along the beach, we could tell that this one would be perfect. After an enjoyable drive from the main road, it was a surprise to find a campground back here. We found the cache quickly about noon, signed the log, and traded a geopin for some "Luck of the Irish" coins. We had some Geocoins made up to commemorate our 50th wedding anniversary and we started the one we have named Baraga here. Thanks for the fun.

8/18/2007 You found Baraga TB Pitstop
On a caching weekend in the UP. Found with no trouble and, as we had no bug to drop off, we just signed the log as the owner instructed.

8/18/2007 You found Copper Country Heritage
We are on a quest to find a cache in every county in Michigan, this is our first Houghton County cache. The log books are both full and badly need to be replaced. We found a spot on the margin and signed the log. TFTC

8/18/2007 You couldn't find Anchor Away
We are on a quest to find a cache in every county in Michigan, this is our first attempt in Baraga County and this time the Bear bit us. We gave it all the time we could spare and came up empty. Kudos to those who found it easily.

8/18/2007 You couldn't find Bridges of Keweenaw County - Gratiot River
No Joy for us today. We gave it our best shot with no success. Oh well. Noticing that the guard rails have all been replaced recently lead us to believe (hope?)that it might be missing.

8/18/2007 You found TURKEY SHOOT CACHE
Finding the cache was the easy part, getting to it was the adventure. We were on Cliff Drive and our auto routing sent us up Ojibway Rd. At first it was passable if rough but the part east of the snowmobile trail rapidly deteriorated. We backed down and debated whether to go north or south on the trail. The shaky looking wooden bridge decided for us and so we drove south along the abandoned RR grade for about two miles (two years?). Never has asphalt looked so good. The drive was one we will remember. We took nothing from the cache, just signed the log and left a package of toys. Thanks for the fun.
