Serenity

McFlyer whispers ( the next one is only 800 ft from here)

We were gone, leaving Manny, Moe and Jack aka Li'l

Squaw and tHE cHISEL to guard the trail and nurse

their bellyaching. Poison Ivy leading the way, we made

quick work of it!

|:{> GB

Embrace The Fog

Well the hill did not seem that high...

After a 10 minute climb accompanied

with a side order of whinning, we made it

only to find a wide open trail that led to

the cache. Found,signed and home it is.

|:{> GB

Beaver Creek Falls

Took the steep way in for this one.Poison Ivy
up to her calves in the mud but kept on, no
complaining. She saw the cache but couldn't
get to it. McFlyer risking life and limb got to it
but sadly forgot his pen...a quick throw and it was
signed. |:{> GB

Beaver Overlook

Entered the park and made our second

find of the day. I had the hint and told no one,

made short work of the cache. Nice hide.

|:{> GB

For Rockhounds Only

A great day for caching, sunny and 70 degrees.

After we made it to the parking coords, McFlyer

ran to the cache like he put it there! Round 1 McFlyer.

A full crew, with a bag of soft pretzels, we were ready.

|:{> GB

MPI #400

Wanted to get this one done for a while.

Went solo on a Sunday afternoon, parked

in a business parking lot and there were

still some people at work there. Climbed into the

brush and made my way up to GZ.

Made the find and hightailed it home for dinner.

|:{> GB

Middletown trails:Butter Days ahead 2

Another new one from McFlyer! Pondcomet

was able to come with me. A really nice walk

to the old railroad tracks and staying on the

trail and not Glarking it, we made the find.

|:{> GB

Middletown Trails: Darlington Daze

With Pondcomet handling a deadline, I

took tHE cHISEL with me. Downloaded the

coords and drove to the parking coords.

Checked the GPSr and found it did not load.

I had exceded the limit of GPX files.

Went home, erased all and re-loaded.

No we were in business! This is McFlyer's

domain and wanted to be prepared.

Got to GZ but became overwhelmed with

the search. After 30 minutes tHE cHISEL

paf and got McFlyer to give us little clue...bingo

cHISEL found it. |:{> GB

OMG Spiderz!

Went out with McFlyer,Lil'l and El Bear-new to the

game. Apparently this property was owned by the

Furness family, old money. The land was turned

into a park years ago. Went in, got to GZ and just

to many possible hiding spots. At the base of the

old mansions foundation El Bear made the spot!

a natural! |:{> GB

X-Men Marks The Spot: Colossus

McFlyer called to say he wanted to hit

this cache. Igor, a friend of Chisel's

wanted to tag along. Hope he knows

what he was in for. Lil'l made the trip also,

but could have done without the spiderwebs.

Coords led us right to the cache, with McFlyer

using his geo-sense to pinpoint the spot.
Igor was hooked, grinning ear to where his other

ear was... \:{> GB

Lost Again

I hope we weren't, We climbed a pretty

high incline and left the woods for

the industrial park, lonely on a Saturday

except for the Mexican landscape crew

who eyed us down. We made it to GZ

I climbed some rocks ,made the find

and Pondcomet spotted a snake, not

being a fan, I quickly got out of there.

|:{> GB (not actual snake:))

Adventurers Cache #1

A very pretty scene was GZ for this one.

A micro with a thousand different possible

locations. We searched and poked and

prodded to no avail. Then I stepped on it!

Out in the open and not covered. Duh!

|:{> GB

Woods 1

After Pipeline1 we went for this one.

Was not much of a hide-quart container

not covered. At least we were out of the

sticker bushes :)

|:{> GB

Pipeline 1

It was way too nice a day to sit in.

Made plans for 4 caches that were

local and we had not gotten yet.

Could not find the way into this

one, so we Glarked it. After the stickers

and nettles it was easy sailing to the

cache. The Chisel had some problems

with ragweed, sneezing all the way in.

|:{> GB

Clayton Pipe Refit

We were not sure if the rain would hold

off long enough for a 4 part multi...

Well we decided to go for it. Got to the

first part and could find nothing-back

and forth I searched, Pondcomet yelled "got it"

well I could see some scratches that turned out to

be coord's. Added, then waited out some golfers...

She found the next and the next numbers.

Now walking thru knee high brush for me, I lost

Pondcomet. But I heard a muffled grunt as she spit

out some weeds, jk. We arrived at GZ and I made the find.

Signed and took a TB. TFTC |:{> GB

Phobia #10

It seems now that Tuba is hooked

on caching. He came down to visit me

again today and wanted to go out

for a find. I checked some spots we

have not gotten yet and we were off,

(he is a little more than me,lol)

Trails not to far from our house

had our prize. Taking the trail we were able

so find a micro pretty easy,because the

phobia was about bees.

Signed the log and headed home.

Tuba-" Your not gonna blog this, are you

oldman?"

East Goshen Park Multi

After Walk the Plank, McFlyer took us

here for a multi. It started off fun, a family

new to caching was trying to find the first

stage and did not know what they were

looking for. We showed them and wished them

luck. The markings on the stages were cleverly hidden.

Tuba has shown he is a master of the GPSr.

Finding coords left and right. McFlyer found the

cache at the end, but not before enGlarking

into some thorn bushes! Ouch

\:{> GB

Walk the Plank

This is an unknown cache-which means math,

and I usually stay away from these, esp. if

Pondcomet is not with me. But McFlyer assured

me it would be no problem. Well an hour later

and Tuba's shoes wet, Squaw snapping pictures

of me straddling stumps, and Glarking it a bit!

We abandoned cache-the dreaded DNF.

oh well...we will be back with calculators! lol

|:{> GB

Watching the Commodore

After a well needed nap,I got the

news that The Chisel had gone

out for a walk with McFlyer,Squaw

and Lil'l. My suspicions were correct,

they were going caching without me!

I grabbed the colorado, downloaded

some coords and Pondcomet and we were off.

Headed to the one McFlyer hid that we

did not get yet. Going thru some

questionable areas of Chester we came to

GZ. While I Glarked for a while, Pondcomet

made the find! (Glarking-to ignore the path

and plow on blindly)

|:{> GB

I ain't Lyon

Got the word on this one late, too

bad cause its right up the street from us!

Lil'l contacted The Chisel on the cache.

I made a split decision and decided we are

walking to it, and it was getting dark also.

We trudged the mile and a half and made short

work of McFlyer's handi-work.

Logged the cache and retraced our steps

home...|:{> GB

Scout's Stash Redux

I could not take the failure anymore!

Pondcomet was not going, The Chisel

had gnat fever and Poison Ivy? don't

know where she was. I am on my own,

my first solo attempt. I got to GZ easy

enough, but then started to hear things,

all kinds of noises...getting dark and creepy

out now. Bypassed the bee's, made the find

and just about flew back to the transport.

Good to be home and another cache to log

]:{> GB

Scout's Stash

We went for a new one on this day,

called Scout's Stash. Pondcomet and I

embarked on our own. The weather

warm and everything blooming was

going to make it tough for the find.

We crept up to GZ, and Pondcomet

wanted the directionometer. She

walked a few paces, then started to

dance and yell! Fearing a seizure I

backed away, but she had stepped

into a bee's nest. to much pain to continue

... \:{> GB

Mile High Club

Last cache of the day and after game night

last night, we were beat. Not sure what

we were looking for, we aimlessly Glarked it,

if you will. Poison Ivy finally made the find.

TFTF

|:{> GB

Pen Is Buried

Just when you think things are going good,

gnats get in the way. The Chisel who had been

impervious to wind,rain,darkness etc...was

brought down by gnats. He made the find with us

but announced unexpectidly his retirement from

summer caching. Everyone caught by suprize

but we went for Pen is buried anyhoo.

The Chiel made the find from a distance. Poison Ivy

running to the container.

|:{> GB

Old Kennett Old Timers

From the start I had a good feeling

about this one. The crew was back

together! We would not be stopped.

Made our way to this little cemetary

a week earlier and some creepy dude

was there at the same time. Coords

were right on and the search began.

Micro in a forest, not going to be easy I

thought. Then The Chisel said something to

me that clicked (like looking at a curtain)

Instaed of looking at the pine branches,

I looked down the limb. BINGO made the find.

|:{> GB

It's OK to Wine

Third of the day-we followed a trail that led

to the winery. After Pondcomet was done drooling

about wine tasting back in the nineties, the search

was on. Muggles made their presence known

early at this location. I used all the stealth techniques

learned under McFlyer's tutledge...I was resigned to failure

when Pondcomet made the find! Good for you PC.

|:{> GB

Pennsbury By Request

The way was blocked by muggle traffic.

We avoided them and came to a grove of

menacing pointy bushes. Pondcomet was

not about to go into that dangerous den.

I made the jump and exited with the find.

|:{> GB

Pennsbury 24

We were on our way home from a

hole in the wall supply store when

Pondcomet mentioned some finds

she was looking into. They were in

the village of Pennsbury. Knowing

that Penn is not buried there had me

suspicious. We set out for the spot

in the transport. Walking the path

to the coords was strange, grass was

cut to make it into a path. Finding the hide among

an ancient forest was very exciting.

|:{> GB

What Was It?

Not sure if I wanted to know, Lil'l

On a quiet holiday weekend night

we scoped out for any muggles.

None to be found-after surrounding 

the gnome headquarters we entered.

Searching all about-til I made the find.

Thanks for taking us here Lil'l.

TFTF   \:{>   GB

The Big Six

Well, well McFlyer! While you were in 

another country we were busy finding 

your hides. After careful calculations

(giving the numbers to Pondcomet)

we were able to locate The Big 6-

groaning feebly we made the climb.

TFTF  |:{<   GB

Specter of Collectables Past

Spent most of the day searching for a new

transport for Tuba! The location of this 

find was mere meters from our home base.

Grabbing Pondcomet we made a dash for it.

Poison ivy all about and other debris fields

scattered about. I made the find and Pondcomet 

was more than a little scared! She felt like 

something bad had happened in the old house.

Fearing a Scooby-Doo ending we ran back

to the transport.    |:{>  GB

Trail Open

Trail open was not all that difficult a

find. On the way back from Billy Bob's 

itty bitty..................... we came upon

Trail open. Lil'L bent over and made 

the find! |:{>  GB

Hundred Dollar Bill Cash/Cache

We had to drive the transport into Delaware

and needed two transports because Slim Shady 

was with us. Having alot of fluids was important

on this trip because McFlyer was taking us to 

Hell and back, and none of us remotely looked

like Audie Murphy! We traversed some hard 

terrian to get to this one. I made the find after some

probing. The day had just begun!

P.S. And all the money was gone...            |:{>  GB

Moos Ice Cream

Down the road a bit was this hide. Was

going to be trouble! Muggles galore on a 

nice day. We entered the area and we 

were immediately spotted by some worker

drones in a back alley. We tried to look

like we meant no harm. Pondcomet found

the first part of the find. Logged it into 

the comm-link and followed the trail.

She made the second and final find in an

alley. Young muggle smoker stared me down.

We ran back to the transport none too soon.

  |:{>  GB

Stones' Bad Joke

A little up the road from Middletown

Trails was this find. Was not too hard

to make the find, The Chisel taking it

again. I tried to watch for tumbling

muggles, but none came out. 

Not a hide I would recommend, but

it was on my comm-link, so it had to be 

done...  |:{>  GB

Concrete Blonde!

Well McFlyer, you knew you would not

shut out The Chisel forever. He made the find

in record time. No ticks today, just a few

chirps. I wanted that DNF off of our

record. And I did not want to climb that 

hill anymore.  |:{>  GB

Eagle Scout

This one was unexpected. We went out

to look for a place for a hide and ended up

going for this find. Pondcomet accompanied me

there. Had to park the transport on a bad 

stretch of road. Where the pink and the white 

met was our target.  Not a bad hike and trail.

At a treacherous bridge is where Pondcomet

made the find! Attempt to Glark it back to the 

transport was nullified!   |:{>  GB

Rails and Trails

McFlyer called to let me know that X-10 

was sighted near Dutton Mill Road. Being 

near those co-ords, we quickly hopped

aboard the transport and made our way there.

We were without The Chisel, he was with The

Stonehenge's. Doing this without him would 

make me slightly more sane. Pondcomet led the way

and we arrived at the find area, but could not 

come up with it right off. She spun in circles a few

times and pointed this way and that. Amazingly 

she made the find! X-10 we wish thee well...

 |:{>  GB

Hokey Pokey

Another hide from Squirt Gunn. It was in the 

same park. We proceeded at a slow pace until

Lil'L, leaped ahead and challenged herself

to a race. McFlyer and Squaw each let out

a small sigh. But Lil'L made the find after 

the race.         |:{>  GB

Coreykat's Goose

Could not wait to get out for some finds

today, found out that T-Gal was coming

and I thought my lunch was also coming up!

I was proven wrong this time though.

We moved to the parking coordinates and 

waited for McFlyer and his team. 

A few minutes in and we made the find. 

Lil'L doing the honors.

   |:{>   GB

Leave it to Beaver

you look at it. This was a find that involved 

math, not my favorite. After finding the right 

numbers, we ran into some fellow searchers.

H. Potter and his father Gargumal, both

on two wheels.They started telling us about 

their travels and the hides they have made.

Muddy, confused and disheartened we left 

and went on our way.

            |:{>  GB

Fire Fire

Our last for this day.Lil'L made another 

find! She can't be stopped. Had a fellow 

cacher folllow us on this one. He had all 

the signs of being a cacher-dorky,biking,

kinda H. potter looking. Made our find 

and got out quickly.

            |:{>  GB

Chester Creek Cache

Parking the transport is possibly the

most important part of any adventure.

Once McFlyer found the right spot, we 

were on the move for the find. Lil'L

made another find with extraordinary

ease. She was the shining star on this day.

We trudged back, knowing there would be 

another cache. Glark Blue-out.

      |:{>   GB

Sleeeping at the Beech

Well, well, well...McFlyer and Explorer 10

more than a couple of flies in the ointment!

Were we up to their challenge? Not sure but we 

were going to give it our all-and if that meant

sacrificing The Chisel, I was ready to do it!

We arrived at the location and were ready for 

a downpour. But as it turned out the only wetness

coming our way was from Pondcomet's tears, who 

watched one of her brood make his FTF!

The Chisel had become more than a tool.

He was now a cacher..................................

    |:{>  GB

Saul Preserve End

Saul, of ye we know little, but ready to 

find out! After trekking to Nature's Hollow

we knew this would be no piece of cake.

The Chisel started out ahead of us, said 

he was going to keep the injun's away?

Now that we knew our scalps were safe

Pondcomet smiled, and "poof" made 

another keen find! The day was hers...

        [ :()0o  PC

         

Nature's Hollow

Well this outing started off like most of mine,

badly. Coordinates were off and so was I.

After contacting McFlyer to set us straight

we were off and running, well more like

limping along the treacherous root out-

cropping all over the land. Following my lead, 

Pondcomet made the find. After a few curses 

we were off again in search of....Saul?

      |:{>  GB

1015/Entropy

Trolley ride to hell! Thats what T-Gal said.

I did not know what she was talking about.

Anywho, we travelled to long forgotten  railway.

After finding the secret numbers, we made our 

way past a cow tunnel and scattered remains 

of Benny Hill. The Chisel made the find-his smile

infecting us all. The young ones entered the tunnel

and quickly feeling uneasy, sprinted towards

the light.     |:{>   GB

Rock and Roll

A CD stash and I forgot to bring any!

Must be all the pressure I am under

trying to get T-Gal ready. Had trouble

with the transport parking.Re-directed

by McFlyer and started for the trail.

Great day for all, especially our crew.

Lil'L made a spectacular find under a huge 

rock formation.On the way back we ran into 

One Arm Willie, who urged us to break an arm?

    |:{>   GB

From Glen to Glen

Here we come X-10. McFlyer had told

us about him over many a campfire.

Legend has it he trained McFlyer in the 

art of the cache! We approached this as 

we would any other hide...not prepared.

Getting out ahead was The Chisel and 

Pondcomet. I trailed to cover our tracks

from anybody following us. As we neared GZ

Pondcomet sprang ahead and made the find!

X-10, hhmmm.... overated? Maybe?

Sudoku Stash

From the start of this hide, I had many

problems with it. Number one was I had 

no idea how to solve the puzzle. I turned 

it over to Pondcomet. She scratched her 

noggin and went right to work. She belched out

"I got it all going on here"as she solved it. 

We arrived at ground zero twenty minutes 

later. The Chisel made the find,  redeeming

 himself. The incline was killer!!! Some muggles

fishing did not slow us. Another conquest down. 

Now on to X-10   |:{>  GB
