Another personal coup! Not only is this my 100th find, (on Geocaching.com), but this was a DNF back in the spring and I have wanted to complete this one ever since! Sue and Jerry from Heavy Jester accompanied me along the trail today. Sue made the huckle on this one! She's good! Jerry and I just read our GPSrs and pointed. L-a bug repellant wipe cuz you're going to need it in there, a yellow clip and a kazoo! T-a jack o lanter reflector and the full camera. Will get the pics developed and post them here in a couple days! Thanks, ScrawnyJay for a great cache and I'm glad this one was my 100th!!! It was doubly nice to have Heavy Jester along for the celebration.

Got to the area of the first part and found fairly quick, found second part even quicker. Helped I had both of boys with me and there getting good at looking. Saw where Two dog night was searching all over, dont give up its there!.
Took a caribener and left a TB.TFTC.

I had to keep cool at times as people were walking the trails all around me. I finally found the first part and quickly headed towards the second part. It didn't take me long to find this part. I was really hesitent of going in and getting the cache. It was thick and looked like it was crawling with Poison Ivy. (Me and that stuff don't get along). Traded a tape measure for a hotwheel. Bearcub was here in spirit today.

This was our first attempt at geocaching. It may have been a bit too difficult to find a small film canister on our first time out. We had no problem finding the coordinates, but spent almost an hour searching before our kids (and we)decided to call it quits.

Found it late this afternoon. My gps was very jangly and lead me astray a couple times.

Found this cache with eeease. Went in search of with Sue (Lyndon Rd Gang) and Bill & Ruth (Peppermill-6). Took nothing; left nothing.
Thanks for the find...everyone.

Found at 5:50pm...good thing, not much daylight after work these days. Sue found the film canister and Steve found the cache. Took caribeener with compass on it and left a manicure set. Been to this park every 4rth of July for the fireworks and this is the first time I ever knew there were trails in the park. Enjoyed the hide, thanks much!! Huckle Buckle Beanstalk. Sue (SueShe) and Steve.

1st attempt. Went with my wife and step-son. We couldn't find the canister, but we were close. It started to get dark so we'll go back another day. Thanks George for letting me borrow your GPS. Should be fun this weekend.

Didn't take very long to find either cache. Lots of mosquitos in the area, so don't forget your bug repellent!!

We found it! It was our first attempt, and it was challenging and fun. Took nothing, left nothing - thanks for the hunt!

PS - Also found the vertebrae mentioned. I also found a neat skull, probably an oppossum's.

Found at 3:10PM. Finding the film canister was pretty tough, but coords right on. Like finding a needle in a haystack. Did find a World Cup '94 baseball cap right near it, so if anyone lost a hat, I put it on main trail nearby (looked very well-loved but definitely needs to be washed after the rains). Went right to 2nd spot quickly.

Took mood ring, left body glitter and our usual lei.

Took picture #21 on disposable.

Thanks for another fun one Scrawny!

Headed out to the first part but couldn't find it (had old coordinates). Saw Rippie leaving the area. Hunted him down and got the new coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing.

Huckle Buckle Frigging Beanstock! It has been found! I found the first part pretty easily this time with the newest coords. The second part was a different matter. I got to the area of the coords, and started searching under fallen trees as per the note. I finally found it about 40-45 feet from the coords. Met SJ on the way out. I gave him the coords I got, and I gave him my method of getting coords. Not always perfect, but seems to work pretty well most of the time. He had a GPS V, so he may be able to get even better coords than what I gave him. Alot of man hours went into the initial find (Jaques, HFJohn, Brother Larry, CB, myself, the police, any others who didn't log a no-find)! I am very surprised to be the first! I guess I got lucky, and maybe a little obsessed. (Obsessed geocacher...isn't that an oxymoron? Or would that be a GPS Moron?) Anyway, I AM THE FIRST!

Just borrowed my boss's GPS 5 and got some new cords to work with.

Went back to the old cords on this page. The cords are realy off and never have been back there in that part of the park. I have no idea how my G.P.S. got thoes as the cords for the first cache. I apologize for any inconvenience, truely sorry!!! As far as the bones go I did not see them. I would never have put the micro cache back in that dence place. The first cache is just off the trail. Look for big fallen trees and very little ground coverage. I fixed the old cords. Get back on thoes bones!

After I got off work, I stopped at the Wegmans, and called 911. I
explained about the bones, and said I would meet someone there, and
show em where it was at. I got to the park at about 5:15pm, and
waited. It was hot, and still I waited. A guy showed, raced a gas
powered RC car around the lot once, crashed it, struggled to get it
going, then left. Still I waited. A bunch kids started showing up to
practice footbal. Still I waited. Finally about 6pm, the office showed up.
I took him back into the woods, showed him the bones. He shrugged,
and said he would call his boss. Now we waited for his boss. Finally his
boss showed up, he said if their were fins on the vertibrae, it was
probably an animal. He looked at the bones, and was pretty sure it was
animal. He tried to find a skull. But didn't find one. He looked for fur, but
couldn't find any of that either. While he was looking around for the
skull, I was looking also, but still keeping an eye for a film canister. The
boss said he was going to call the medical examiner, just in case. But he
was pretty sure it was an animal.

Hey, Scrawney, I think either the difficulty is too low, or maybe you got
the coords slightly off? I hope to get back and actually get time to really
search.

I got into the cache area, but didn't make a thorough search. Not sure
about the bones. They are probably an animal (I don't think human
vertibrae have those little 'fins'), but I called the police anyway. Let
them figure it out. They wouldn't take the coords, but wanted to have
someone show them where the bones are. I am going to go there after
work, and call them to meet me at the park. After the bones are
identified, then maybe I will look further.
