Last week was a disaster! Becca put all this work into finding a group of geocaches in a spot where it we could not only Geocache, but also take some pictures. I'm not sure which was the first sign of bad luck, the bridge that was suppose to be our subject for our pictures being under construction or the strange atmospheric conditions that had our GPS's bouncing all over the place. To give an example, we actually gave up going after a cache because it looked like it was on a small island in a park. Turns out, by some kind of blind luck, we found it on our way out of the park over 70 feet from where our GPS's said it would be! Trust me, that was the only thing that went our way the entire day.
By the end of the day, we were both frustrated and almost at each others throats. We had such a bad outing that I went on a rant saying how much I hate "parking lot" caches. Becca wanted to hit a few of the easy caches that wouldn't require much searching to at least say we did something. I put my foot down, the weekend on a bad note.
This weekend, Becca decided on one cache and only one cache. This one happened to be a number of trails in a hidden preserve that we've driven by hundreds of times and didn't even know it was there. These three pictures came from the trails. The highlight had to be the pine tree forest. It was so cool to not only see this, but know that it's been here here this whole time and we never visited it once. We walked close to two and a half miles, most of which was for the cache, but I'm not sure what was better the views, the exercise, or just simply being successful in the hunt for caches and pictures.
Definitely, look forward to visiting this place again for these views!
