On vacay with little antsz and stealth cacher. Tried this one last year and could not open the lock. Was ready for another try. I think it's a sweet cache even without the lock. Tftc

We are here on vacation and today was just a light relaxation day so after a round of putt - putt we wandered over here to check out this cool geocache. I simply followed my GPS signal and it led me to a cool cache disguise. We did not need the lock combination since the lock was completely missing. That made for quick access to the cache container.

And now for today's trivia ...

NATIONAL SEWING MACHINE DAY
Observed annually on June 13 is National Sewing Machine Day. This day honors the invention of the sewing machine. It is hard to imagine having to sew things together by hand, stitch by stitch.

Skilled cabinet-maker and English inventor, Thomas Saint, received the first patent for a design of a sewing machine in 1790. It was intended for leather and canvas, was never advertised and no evidence of it, other than his drawings, could be found. In 1874, William Newton Wilson found Saint’s drawings in the London Patent Office, made adjustments and built a working model. The London Science Museum currently owns Wilson’s model.

Walter Hunt invented the first American lockstitch sewing machine in 1832.
John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States in 1842.

Industrial use of the sewing machine reduced the burden that was placed upon housewives, moving clothing production from them and seamstresses to large-scale factories. This also resulted in a decrease in production time which caused the price of clothing to drop considerably.

Today, many people are again becoming interested in the art of sewing and making their own clothing. Crafts fairs and flea markets are filled with booths full of beautiful sewing machine-made clothes and craft items.

NATIONAL WEED YOUR GARDEN DAY

National Weed Your Garden Day is observed annually on June 13. This day is set aside for all gardeners to take an extra 5 or 10 minutes while weeding their gardens.

One of the best gardening tips is to stay in control of your garden. Weeds grow fast, very fast, and can soon become overwhelming. If you stay on top of them, it is much easier to maintain your garden. Weeding 5 or 10 minutes each day will make the job seem bearable. It might even be enjoyable. This way you will be in control, and the weeds will not!!

Excessive and unwanted weeds will crowd out plant roots and steal the nutrients that are needed for the plants to grow nice and healthy.

Helpful tips on reducing weeds in your garden:

Cover the soil along rows and between plants with mulch.
Make sure to keep all weeds away from young plants.
It is okay to plant your plants closely together to leave less room for weed growth.
Have soil weed-free before planting.
Make sure you do not let any of the weeds go to seed.
Keep the edges of your yard mowed low to lessen the invasion of weeds onto your property and into your garden.

This was next to impossible because the film canister that contains the bracelet with the numerals on it is missing.

I hate when I can find a cache and can't get in it to sign the log. I guess I'll have to take a DNF on this one for that reason only. Lock did not cooperate.
