 left a sun catcher cat		 Here it is from the road. 
 

Now on to  OLD SCHOOL CACHING

Biggest Geocache I ever saw The Skeleton guards  the goodies
Signed  the log and took a travel bug , key chain and a hello kitty change purse.
Left a green soap sponge and a coin box. Closed it up tight to keep it dry.
   
Next stop      X   MARKS  THE SPOT  
Parked on a dirt road with our flashers on. Walked up the path to the cemetery.
Watch out for animals that can make this big a hole Found the cache it was chocked full
Took a frog for Sue and a dash keychain. Signed the log. Now I can see the   X  (tree branches in an X marking)
 

KOOL KIDZ CACHE  is next on our list  Drove up to within a 300 ft of it.
Walked from here That would have been an interesting clue
But the Chair clue was the best There it is!  Signed the log , took a Jeep travel bug, air force keychain and left some candy for  the kids.
   
Another Cemetery?  BIGLER CACHE  
Drove up into the cemetery, GPS took us right to it.
Wasn't even covered or anything. Container was wet and cracked on the bottom.
   
THE HOPPER CACHE  
Found the parking area Ok but not the cache GPS took us around and around. Only  thing there were burrs. We got them everywhere.
   
Next stop VISITOR'S CACHE  
Clue says Man Made? Yea concrete and pipe Signed  the wet log
   
CAUSEWAY CACHE
Easy find, glad I didn't have to climb the rocks.
  Can you see it?
There it is Just a little thing with a big log
 
Well it started getting dark so we looked for a motel. Got a room and supper.
Our room Can you believe Burrs on my shoes KFC , Long John Silvers and

EAST LAKE CACHE

  
Nice drive down a dirt road to this gate. GPS took me around and around because of the trees
Contents all wet Signed the log and left a dry football keychain and my 2 cents in a jar. Covered it up really good
   

QUIET COUNTRY CEMETERY

 Was really looking forward to this cache
GPS took me around and around  this headstone Marg thought it used to be in this tree. Didn't find.
 
Well on to the  LITTLE SCHOOL HOUSE NO. 1

GPS Says go this way
School house across the street. Easy  to find but the Log was wet.
 

On to PARKER'S LANDING
Park by the Orange gate, the directions said
 and take a little walk.		 A little walk?  The GPS took us in circles.
But we found it. over the hill like the clue said.
Covered with sticks and prickly branches. A round plastic canister, Signed the log and hit it again
   
Stopped for some lunch at Arby's
They make a roast turkey and Swiss sandwich that is too much for me to eat all at once.
 

On the road again to  AGT -CRAWFORD #12 SIBLING SOLDIERS II
Didn't need the stamp but wanted to find it anyway Easy find wasn't even hidden
Took a travel bug and keychain left a change purse and sun catcher

A guy came out the door as I was getting this out and asked if it was one of  those Geocache's things. Yes it is!
Well that's enough for today. Will go home and print off some more for another day.
