Kayaking on the lake and grabbing some caches. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon!

The family made a short trip to Monument Lake for some kayak fun and we made the grab of this cache. We were planning our next move but weather and muggles made for a short caching day. Thanks for putting this one out for us to find! Semper Fi, OMUSMC

What a day! I have been looking forward to this for quite a while. I've been working hard and caching has taken a back seat for the last several weeks. I had planned this day off though to geocache with my brother down in Monument. His work schedule afforded him this day off and I've been planning and strategizing on caches for the last several weeks. The weather was beautiful and the caching extremely successful! We found 11 with no DNFs (although we got close a few times) and I filled in two Jasmer squares and FOUR FIZZY squares.
I have wanted to get down here and go after this short series of caches for well over a year. Ever since I heard that a coworker of mine had done it and had the right equipment for the excursion. However, the timing to make a trip wasn't coming together. So, I reached out to my brother. He's not a geocacher, but he has an inflatable canoe!
We got all setup within about 15 minutes of arriving. I haven't canoed in quite a few years so it was fun to get out on the water again. It was windy on the lake so we took more of a zig-zag approach to GZ. My original goal was to head towards #3 first, but we ended up parking almost right in front of #2 instead. And, as it turned out, this was the ideal place to beach anyway.
We got the second one first and then just walked to the first in the series. Ironically, this took longer to find than the other! But it was my brother who made the grab. Way to go muggle bro! Signed the log and then headed for #3.
Thanks for the hide RPieperCO. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

Last of these three Drew and I found today. These are what brought us here. We did the foot version since I don't have my kayak yet. Beautiful day for it.
The heat must have blinded me as Drew spotted first lol.
Thanks RPieperCO! Logged Monument Lake Kayak #1 from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Out geocaching on this pretty Colorado day. We drove up to have breakfast in Monument with my younger brother at the Coffee Cup. We usually meet in Monument because it is half way between our houses. I had spotted this series around Monument Lake and needed at least one of the Difficulty/Terrain placed for the fizzy challenge to work on completing the grid. I brought the dog for entertainment purposes, she is crazy in water. We packed up some hiking boots and a backpack with water and a pen. We traversed around the north side of the lake through the wonderful willows and sloshed through the creek and arrived at GZ. After some time searching GZ, the dog was searching the grass and jumping into the water we found the cache. I pull out the pen and place my alias on the log. Anyway, we spent about 2 hours hiking around the lake and were successful in finding and writing our alias (in green ink) on four geocaching logs today. Are we wet and muddy? Yes. Does the dog stink like pond water? Yes, very much so! Was it worth it? Yes. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find today.
