Wanted to throw out a special thank you to a quiet pair of great cachers!  They are great examples of what makes this hobby so enjoyable.  They are always willing to help and are gracious when receiving help.  This cache was placed many months ago with this intention. Recently there was a void created and thought it would be a great time to fill it.  Container is courteous of Kerewin0430!  Hope you enjoy this one!

 

Again, big thank you and shout out to a great caching duo!

It took a good amount of searching to find it and then I had a good laugh when I did find it! Left a travel Bug there. TFTC.

Wow that was quite a hunt!!! My cords were off by 32’ had to use a lot of geosence, LOL, I guess that’s why it took me 1.5 hours to locate it!! The sassy one I needed to complete my fizzy grid for the 9th. Time! Ya!! I took the TB and will move it soon. Thanks for the placement and the fun hunt!

Out picking up some caches with COpackrat, enjoying the beautiful weather! Got lucky and had no injuries with this one, as it sounds most people do. Thanks for placing this cute cache. Gampa and Gamma are wonderful assets to our geocaching community - glad to see a tribute for them!!!

Out with Kerewin0430 today for a little hiking and adventuring. I had a fair amount of GPS bounce at times, and was glad to hear "Found it!" Thanks for the fun search and nice thank you to some fine folks!

This one will get a favorite point because....well, you will need to just find out when you go to seek it and get the humor in it. It does help since I know the source of the container twice over. HA! This one fully deserves the rating it has, so don't fall on the terrain while searching for it! You may bang a knee!

Anyway, out for an afternoon of burning extra energy with a fellow great friend and caching colleague who is wise in the caching ways. We were able to avoid the rain that happened down below, but did hear the thunder rolling above while spying unique forest treasures along the way.

I took the trackable inside and left one. Gampa & Gamma are so lucky to be honored in this way because it is not a igneous (or is it?) or a coniferous cache!

FTF!! (Fourth To Find that is, for gampa&gamma)---ha!
Though DNFs are not on our Favorite Activities list, (especially on a tribute cache) we did enjoy the excuse to get back up to this beautiful area to hike. Armed with better coordinates, a nudge from a previous finder and equal determination, we set off very early this morning.
The updated coordintes put us in a slightly different scrambling location but it still took us nosing around a lot of hidey holes. Now slipping on a mossy rock, falling and banging up a leg, like a previous finder, is not a requirement for finding this cache, it did put gamma right near the hide location and the container was in hand quickly. We signed the log, dropped a trackable, and replaced container as found. Thank you again for bringing us out to a favorite hiking area and honoring us with a tribute cache. Such a fun way to start our day!

Rpieperco and I had been chatting about a cache to find and I was headed up his way to go looking for a cache. I stopped by and picked him up and we headed up into the hills. Not to much to see again on the drive up. No baby bear on the side of the road this time! We hiked out to the area armed with gps devices and phones. Searching and searching. He made the find and we celebrated! What a wonderful area, I love the stream to hike next to. Also it was nice that there was no mystery creature snorting and move lots of heavy things on the next ridge over. Thanks for having this cache out here for us to find.

- I once was in a corn maze, I really feel like was was being stalked. It was very earie.

We gave it a good look and came up empty....

Ammo cans under a rock are always hard to find...

Anyway, nice to chat with Gampa&Gamma during the futal search....

#188 on the DNF list so far....
