Geocaching!

Serenity

2009-11-15T18:59:00.002-05:00

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!

Embrace The Fog

2009-11-15T18:56:00.003-05:00

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.

Beaver Creek Falls

2009-11-15T18:49:00.002-05:00

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

2009-11-15T18:46:00.001-05:00

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.

For Rockhounds Only

2009-11-15T18:32:00.005-05:00

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.

MPI #400

2009-11-08T18:27:00.000-05:00

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.

Middletown trails:Butter Days ahead 2

2009-11-07T18:10:00.001-05:00

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

2009-11-01T18:02:00.000-05:00

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!

2009-10-18T17:55:00.004-04:00

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

2009-09-27T12:49:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-19T19:57:00.004-04:00

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

2009-09-19T19:53:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-19T19:48:00.000-04:00

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

2009-09-19T19:42:00.003-04:00

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

2009-09-13T13:57:00.005-04:00

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

2009-09-10T19:26:00.006-04:00

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

2009-09-08T16:06:00.002-04:00

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

2009-09-08T15:36:00.003-04:00

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

2009-09-06T19:11:00.004-04:00

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

2009-09-02T20:18:00.002-04:00

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

2009-07-17T19:54:00.002-04:00

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

2009-07-11T19:41:00.003-04:00

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

2009-06-14T20:16:00.001-04:00

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.

|:{> GB

Pen Is Buried

2009-06-14T20:11:00.001-04:00

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

2009-06-14T19:53:00.000-04:00

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

2009-06-05T16:03:00.000-04:00

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

2009-06-05T15:46:00.000-04:00

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

2009-06-05T15:33:00.000-04:00

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?

2009-05-24T20:57:00.004-04:00

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.

The Big Six

2009-05-24T20:49:00.002-04:00

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.

Specter of Collectables Past

2009-05-21T20:30:00.004-04:00

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

2009-05-02T20:06:00.002-04:00

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

2009-05-02T17:27:00.004-04:00

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

2009-04-20T18:58:00.003-04:00

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

2009-04-20T18:36:00.003-04:00

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!

2009-04-20T18:28:00.003-04:00

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

2009-04-18T19:25:00.002-04:00

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

2009-04-12T14:14:00.005-04:00

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

2009-04-05T21:01:00.004-04:00

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

2009-04-05T20:44:00.004-04:00

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

2009-04-05T20:25:00.002-04:00

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.

Fire Fire

2009-04-05T20:00:00.000-04:00

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

2009-04-05T19:52:00.002-04:00

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.

Sleeeping at the Beech

2009-04-03T19:52:00.005-04:00

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..................................

Saul Preserve End

2009-04-01T19:09:00.002-04:00

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

2009-04-01T19:04:00.002-04:00

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?

2009-03-22T19:36:00.002-04:00

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

2009-03-22T19:30:00.002-04:00

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?

From Glen to Glen

2009-03-21T20:19:00.002-04:00

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

2009-03-21T20:06:00.002-04:00

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

Middletown Trails:Concrete Blonde

2009-03-19T17:17:00.003-04:00

Well McFlyer sure has been busy on

his hiatus. Another hide, and this time

it is in a place that I'm not sure I want

to go back to. His evil spot was surrounded

with venomous deer ticks. One even subdued

The Chisel!!! After poking and prodding around

ground zero we came up empty handed...

McFlyer even radioed in to "Guffaw" at

our inability to come up with victory.

Another day McFlyer, The Chisel spat!

Middletown Trails: Butter Days Ahead

2009-03-15T19:41:00.002-04:00

The Chisel wanted this one bad!

McFlyer is his Uncle, and he was

making us look like monkeys.

The Chisel was not a Monkeys Uncle!

Going along the beaten path and avoiding

a crazed farmers dog, we followed directions.

Which led us to a settlement. Knowing my

abilities, we called McFlyer in for another

assist. Having Dyslexified the coordinates,

We found this one fast, with Pondcomet out

on top! |:{> GB

Middletown Trails:The Saw Mill

2009-03-15T19:28:00.003-04:00

Part two of this treacherous adventure.

We brought along Tuba Moose to

finish this one. His abilities are

legendary among us. His special

footwear(womans Payless) enabled him

to vault fallen branches. We walked along

the trail and the tracks for what seemed like

minutes. A two parter Tuba cried and cried

some more. McFlyers evil little capsules

are what eluded us the first time.

We were not going to be stopped! Then

we called him for help...

Saw Mill in site , we walked in circles til I

made the find! Thanks McFlyer

Whomping Willow

2009-03-09T18:24:00.002-04:00

This is part of the Woodlawn Trutee's. Not

sure who or what they are, but no one was

going to stop us from getting all six finds in

this wooded wonderland. Following our

instruments we zeroed in on our target.

McFlyer in the lead followed closely by Squaw,

Lil'l The Chisel ,Pondcomet and Glark Blue.

I spied the canister before the others and was

tempted to flee with it but with TheChisel

knowing where I live thought better of it.

I showed everyone the cache and we cheered!!!

Walk the Line

2009-03-09T06:07:00.002-04:00

A reference to a long forgotten, semi-talented

troubadour, for which I have no love. Give me

a good old fashioned tribute band any day!

Back to the business at hand. We traveled a

few more clicks, 200 feet to be exact. Then came

upon our intended find. The Chisel was twitching

about and made the find before a seizure took

him from us. My shoulders aching from the

pressure of not forming my crew while sober,

we trudged on to our next target. |:{> GB

Special Cache for Evanspack

2009-03-08T19:21:00.003-04:00

Why they get a special cache is beyond me,

Squaw does not deserve one? Pondcomet?

Whatever we think is lost among deaf ears.

We headed to this hide with a kind of

stoic determination. McFlyer and Lil'L

led us to ground zero, Squaw was busy on

a comm-link speaking to park officials about

our earlier mis-steps. Lil'L dived for the find

exclaiming "EXCALIBER!! IS MINE", to

everyone's chagrin. |:{> GB

2009-03-08T19:14:00.003-04:00

Now it was my turn to shine! Shrugging

off The Chisel's apparent "luck" I turned

my attention to my inner eye and consulted

my coordinating equipment (cheated) and

strolled right to the winning castigated

hideout. I gazed at my band of worldly

gatherers and sneered slightly.

On to the next Lil'L squawked!

Hopefully today will go better than Saturday.

Following McFlyers need to lead, we arrived

in Delaware and parked near a transport

repair station. We entered the area of reported

containers, only to have most of our crew step

in some sort of sheeeet, covering their footwear

in foul smelling doo. Once that ordeal was over we

proceeded to our first of the day. The Chisel

made short work of this and made the find. He

might have to be dealt with later, getting to

cocky. He now twirls and guffaws with every

find. |:{> GB

through Middletown Trails...made the

Bataan Death March look easy!!!

It was a multi-stage run from McFlyer

who seems to be enjoying our misery

when we go out without his crew....

For starters I parked the transport

at the wrong coordinates, surely not

my fault though, Pondcomet was muttering

incantations all day. We ended up in a sticker

mangrove that was alive with pain and suffering.

It was also White Foot's first outing with us.

He seemed up to it though and was helpful

with the useless T-Gal, who spent the day

berating harmless forest animals!

After three hours of muckity muck, I called

the mission off because of anti-light matter.

The Chisel stormed off, screaming in Portugese

his first DNF. We will try again another day

for this McFlyer mess. |:{> GB

London Calling

2009-03-01T19:39:00.003-05:00

London was calling, it was long distance and

I was not about to reverse the charges! All

along old Baltimore Pike people going on

about their business, unaware of our crew

lurking like lurkers among them. Finding

something from an old Dr. Who show, we

searched until we made the find.

|:{> GB

Archie's Corner

2009-03-01T19:22:00.003-05:00

Who is Archie? We were going to find out!

After the battles at the Brandywine we were

ready for some more. Well it turns out Archie

was a woman who had been dead for quite some

time. The remains of an old school house was part

of the clue. Putting our heads together accomplished

nothing... despondent, I sat on a wall to rest and lo and

behold I made the find! The Chisel twirled his staff in

delight, Pondcomet pranced back and forth among

the ruins... The day was over for us. |:{> GB

The Gaging Station

2009-03-01T19:03:00.004-05:00

Finding the one was easier said than done...

This was our first encounter with the infamous

"SquirtGunn" real name unknown. The Chisel

said he ready to go up against her. We raced to the

coordinates and found ourselves wary of the Dark

Glass all around us,muggles maybe were watching.

The Chisel made the find and brazenly broadcast it

to all. Fearing discovery, I maced myself as a

diversion for the others to get away. Another

adventure behind us, Pondcomet had to drive until I

was no longer crying tears of victory. |:{> GB

Brandywine Oldtimers

2009-03-01T18:48:00.003-05:00

When going after this find, Pondcomet was very

internal with her thoughts. I asked what was going

on in her pumpkin...the cemetary Glark...the cemetary

she babbled. I knew of her fear of the undead, so having

The Chisel guide her while she averted her gaze from

the graves. We came upon GZ and Pondcomet made the

FIND! Besmerched! cried The Chisel... Trying to put a

happy face on, I trudged to the transport and began to

search for the next cache. |:{> GB

Brandywine Battlefield

2009-03-01T18:39:00.002-05:00

The Chisel told us this morning in a dream state

that General George Washington spoke to him.

When he arrived at our camp full of pip and

lemonade, raring to get out to" The Battlefield"

We made it to the find with The Chisel making another

find, the spirits were with him he giggled...

Leonid Brezhnev

2009-02-28T18:54:00.004-05:00

U.S.S.R. I would rather have been in the

teeth of the former Soviet Republic than

traversing the perilous cliffs surrounding

this place of higher learning. With only Pondcomet

by my side, we started the run. Early on it looked

bleak, we had to make a call to McFlyer for some insight

and then passed six or more fierce looking muggles.

Then at GZ we encountered three more. We made the

decision to outwit and outwait them. It paid off

as Pondcomet made her first unassisted find.

|:{> GB

MPI#4

2009-02-26T19:23:00.004-05:00

Mission Possible? Thats what Pondcomet

was chanting from her underground lair.

Hoping upon hope that The Chisel and to

a lesser extant Glark would make it back

in one piece. Well we found the little package

between two of the most imposing cinder upon

block edifices.Log and scram muttered The Chisel,

and we did. |:{> GB

Siede

2009-02-26T19:20:00.003-05:00

Siede (what is it) no one knows. But we do

know that The Chisel and I made short

work of this hidden trove of plastic memories.

Under the railroad arch was all I needed.

Logged and to my surprize, The Chisel

was up for another.

3years/300 caches

2009-02-26T19:12:00.003-05:00

Was not sure how todays mission would turn out

Pondcomet was tied up by some loose accounts,

T-Gal was still unaccounted for, McFlyer and his

crew have not made contact with us.

It was The Chisel and me, which made for an

interesting pair. We left all our marbles at the

base and headed out. The Chisel made short work

of this one, "There it is Glark" he mumbled!

Three Billy Goats

2009-02-24T20:09:00.004-05:00

Going for one more was never harder.

The Chisel was floundering, being away from 360

was too much for him. Pondcomet had not had a

feeding in hours. I tried to keep them focused,

but it was like swimming in a baby pool! Only my

steely resolve brought me too the find.

Another success ):{|> GB

UPP

2009-02-24T20:01:00.007-05:00

Realizing that our next find was right where we parked

the transport! Backtracking to our cache, we were aware

of a Muggle transport. Being as cool as cucumbers, we

searched the area. The Chisel showed again "He is good for

Something" and made the find. \:{(> GB

Trout Box

2009-02-24T19:49:00.003-05:00

We had planeed to make this find the other

day but were foiled by my lack of directions

and ran into a river. We prepared better this time

and went after this one with a determination yet to

be seen from Pondcomet! The Chisel made anther find.

The stone wall where the cache was must have been

a beautiful estate many years ago...

Kaboom Tree

2009-02-22T19:31:00.004-05:00

This was after Paper Mill Stop.

The gang was back on the hunt. It turned out

to be a nice day. Glark Blue took the

treasure on this one. Then Lil'L had some

business to take care of and ended up with a

soaked rear end, thus ending our day.

Our friends gave us a ride back to our transport.

|:{|> GB

Paper Mill Stop

2009-02-22T19:18:00.006-05:00

Today was our first multi-challenge.
The weather was going to have to cooperate
said The Chisel"Because I'm Going"
After we ignored him, we decided to go only
after dropping off some baggage near
Linville Orchards.The trek started in Smedley
Park, famous for its dangerous trails.
What a trip!! On the way out we could not avoid McFlyer
who was heading our way. We greeted him
with a half hearted hug.Lil'L was with him
but they were not forthcoming with what became of
Squaw... Lil'L was very wary of what there was to drink...

On to the next adventure!

/:{(> GB

Rocky Run

2009-02-21T20:02:00.004-05:00

Our first time in this part of the land.

We were going for the geocache.

Pondcomet and The Chisel were with me.

We had to traverse a ravine along with

a rock wall were The Chisel encountered a Raccoon

Zombie! We made the find and awaited our buddies.

|:{|> GB

Rock Slide

2009-02-21T17:31:00.004-05:00

We decided to move onto the
next closest treasure Rock Slide.
Again without the aid of Lil'L who is
re-thinking this whole deal and we needed
her special talents. Allowing for Pondcomets
slow gait we proceded to the position.
The Chisel made the find!

Attack of the Geocoins

2009-02-21T17:31:00.001-05:00

Today we used some trickery so as not to
use two modes of transport.The plan was to
"scout out some locations" Then we found
Attack of the Geocoins.I led the team today
because McFlyer was off having "breakfast"
with some other team.The Chisel found the
cache. Another great trek.

Our Goose was Cooked!

2009-02-16T15:49:00.004-05:00

Finally! We headed to our last cache.
And McFlyer was none too pleased that
his attempt at deceit was foiled by our
intrepid band of merry makers.Another
find was made by Squaw. Thanks to The Chisel
and Pondcomet for the help.
signing out: Glark Blue

More from Middletown

2009-02-16T15:41:00.004-05:00

We went for another of McFlyers famed
caches.Took along Squaw who proved useful
today, she found the prize! Way to go Squaw!
After the find we had to walk back to
basecamp while listening to Lil'L play
trifling music on her Lute.

Middletown Trails

2009-02-16T15:06:00.003-05:00

Today we decided to get in as many caches as we could.
Traveling with me was again Pondcomet and The Chisel.
We kinda took the long way to one of McFlyers caches.
Parked at the entrance to Rocky Run and walked behind
the Wawa buildings. Nine deer passed us which was very
cool.Glark Blue was the first to spot McFlyers cache.
We logged the find and then headed to the next.

The Tinicum Marsh

2009-02-14T18:14:00.005-05:00

Finally the weather opened up and gave me and
my crew a window of opportunity to get out and
cache.After a light meal Pondcomet and I, Glark
Blue set out for Eastern Delaware County.Being
familiar with the area,we arrived at the entrance
of the marshlands at 1400 hours.With Pondcomet
leading the way, we treked about six miles to
find our prize. ):{> GB

Granite Run Mall

2009-01-11T16:26:00.005-05:00

Today started off slow, up late last night

plotting strategy with Pondcomet and T-Gal

while entertaining Ramparts. Too much grog

and not enough sleep. Contacted by McFlyer

who said he was going to go out and hunt for

some caches, we declined. But when dropping

T-Gal and Polly Pocket off at the mall, we went

for Boo. Found it, logged it, and we were off.

):{> GB

Cacheless Today

2009-01-05T18:59:00.004-05:00

Spent the day plotting our next trip.

Want to get back to Ridley Creek

State Park were this picture was

taken, we left a cache unfound.

then possibly a trip to Boo near our mall.

Pondcomet took a trip to the apothecary

to get T-Gal makeup remover.

):{> GB

Ridley Creek State Park

2009-01-04T18:04:00.001-05:00

Today with McFlyers guidance we travelled

to Ridley Creek State Park for a cache.

After taking the short cut according to my

map and ten miles later, The Chisel and Lil'L

scrambled to the find, causing Squaw to exclaim

mwekane, meaning dog in Lenape indian.

Pondcomet,coming back from grave injury

made good progress.

Lil'L hiding the scarring on her face was

sad the day had ended-McFlyer law!

The Chisel longed for the next trip to the

wild.

til then, Glark Blue

Rosetree Park

2009-01-03T18:34:00.001-05:00

Today we mapped out 4 caches along and
in Rosetree Park. I Glark Blue along
with Pondcomet and The Chisel went,
T-Gal was with White Foot and did
not travel with us.
Rosetree Park in Media,Pa contained
4 caches that McFlyer told us about.
Took us 2 1/2 hours to complete the
task. The Chisel finding three of
the four, he is strong in the
FARCE.Dropped off our first travel bug
and we are now making plans for Sundays
journey.

new finds. May our paths cross ways soon McFlyer.

Happy New Year!

Temperature is 26 degrees-debating about

going out for some geocaching. Will update

December 31st and today we got our new Garmin Colorado

the first page of geocaches closest to our home.

Geocaching

2008-12-29T19:28:00.001-05:00

What is geocaching and why we are hooked?

Geocaching is a treasure hunt, winning only

the satisfaction of being outdoors with family

and friends. So, here begins our story...

Our small group begins with me,

Glark Blue - a traveler and purveyor of declining artifacts.

Pondcomet - smiling, lifter of hearts and minds.

The Chisel - from parts unknown, science and

fiction combined.

T-Gal - whose inner voices

warrant destruction and decay, while smiling.

McFlyer - wise in the ways of the cache, able to

deter sticks and stones.

Squaw - a triple threat, daring all to keep her from suprise and delight.

Lil'L - spreads moonbeams and applesauce to

all with good heart.
