Geo!Geo!Geocache! #3

Two days ago I went geocaching again. The first cache was on a pier. We couldn't find it, but there were lots of places to hide things.There were even a lot of rocks with space between them for stuff! We didn't spend much time there because we were in a hurry, though.

The next was at an overlook to the lake. It was in a pill container, and it only had space for a logbook. That's called a microcache. When we got back in the car and there was a bug in my mom's eye. IN my mom's eye!

        ____    To get it, she had to scrape it out with a corner of a piece of paper!(ew!)

The next one had the last part of the code for the "This is VT:Grand Isle County" series. We found it easy! (geo-tip: look for hidden paths) The next was not found,(cache Bel-Air) but we found the next one on the trail.(Bella's Auto cache) 

Then we had lunch at Seb's Snack Bar. (go there!) There we figured out the code and went to the cache. The cache was easy to find, if you can track it.=P. After we logged it, we went home. We were tired.

Geocaching, Again?

  Yesterday I went geocaching again. We first went to the "This is VT: Alburgh" cache. It was confusing because there was a letterbox very close, so I accidentally grabbed that one instead! The next one was a park & grab that's in the same place as where I started hiking the day before. That one was easy to find though. The next was about 1/2way down the trail. We found a tracking bug there. A tracking bug is a trinket with a special tag with a code on it to log it on the website (geocaching.com). The next cache was in the Grand Isle Rec. field. We saw a dog there without a person, so we had to wait for it to leave to get it. The next was at Hyde log cabin,(oldest log cabin in America) and we (I) found it quickly. The last cache we did was "This is VT: South Hero". We didn't find it then. (we did today)

Geocaching in the Islands

  Yesterday I went geocaching with my family. The first cache we hit was at the head of Isle La Motte. We found it easily, wrote in the log book, and went to the next cache. We didn't take or leave anything because if you take something, you have to leave something, and we forgot our cache trinkets. Also, we had to be careful because my mom saw shotgun shells, and it was right after hunting season started.
  The next was an earthcache. An earthcache is actually a quiz that you answer with whatever kiosk is at that site. It was at the Fisk Quarry on ILM. What you do is finish the quiz, email it to the cache owner, then they will give permission to post that you found it on geocaching.com. The third cache was close to an area providing a place to play a certain sport.=P  It is what's called a park n' grab. That means it is very close to a parking area.
  The next was supposed to be a long hike, but we never found it! We hiked for 90 minutes with a stroller for nothing! It ended at a dead end of water & a beaver dam. But on the way back it was easier, we found another way. After that, we were really tired, so we went to Hero's Welcome to eat, but they don't serve after 5:00. We just had some chips then. We kept geocaching then, and went to another cache, but we never found it! While I was there I saw a cool, huge, bulbous, mushroom! Then we went to 2 others, and found them! We wrote in the logbooks, then took & left something in each cache. We went home after that, we were hungry and wanted to watch a movie.
