"Lost in the Woods" - Find #21 on Sunday, June 22, 2008
While down visiting J's parents, we decided to find this cache to drop the Koala we picked up at ASP. We even got Mom & Dad to go with us again! The path was neat and we enjoyed looking for this cache. Of course the guys went through the woods and we girls took the path!! Hopefully no one ends up with Poison Ivy!! The container was a new one for us, so that was cool too! We hope someone picks up "Kris' soon and moves it along on it's way to Australia.

"Summit Fire Tower II" - Find #20 on Monday, June 2, 2008
Well, we hadn't done any geocaching since we got back from our vacation and we had the cow coin to drop. So, we went up to Allegany State Park one day after work. This was a puzzle cache, but we were successful right away. The park is such a nice place. It's hard to believe we don't spend more time there. Well, J does (since he works there), but I don't! Well, we picked up a travel "Koala" that we plan to take to PA in a few weeks and we left a magnet.

"AGT-McKean-Kinzua Bridge" - Find #19 on Friday, May 30, 2008
This was a must see for our vacation. We were last here over 12 years ago and what a difference. We hadn't been back since the tornado took out the bridge. The area feels different. There was no one there but us, until we were leaving. Just another way we see that we are not in control! We did find the cache, took the cow coin to move on and left some magnets.
If you are ever in the area, you should stop in here!!

"Crossroads" - Find #18 on Friday, May 30, 2008
On our way back home from our vacation, we found this cache. It was a nice, easy find after the last one!! Our GPS was within 7 ft accuracy! We left a couple of magnets and moved on to the next one.

"AGT-Elk-East Branch Dang" - Find #17 on Friday, May 30, 2008
What can we say about this one! well, it was our 6th stamp for Elk County and we got the coin. What a tough one, though. Neither of us were expecting the hike this one took. We had to walk across the dam and then up into the woods. At points, we were both ready to give up, but we kept going. It was a neat area though, and we took a lot of great pictures!

"The mercn8rs multi" - Find # 16 on Thursday, May 29, 2008
We found this cache on our anniversary after visiting Penn's Cave. It a quiet little neighborhood, we found this puzzle cache. Who would have thought the area had that in their back yard! Still, it was a little uncomfortable poking around in people's back yards. The gnome was a helpful item! After putting things back, the son of the hider stopped by to make sure we found it. We are really starting to see how varied cache hides can be!

"White House Bridge" - Find # 15 on Wednesday, May 28, 2008
After spending the day with family and visiting Luray Caverns, we stopped for this cache on our way back up to State College, PA. Just outside of the little town my family lives in, this cache was just off the highway. Neat history and a somewhat surprising place to have a little pull-up with a picnic table. We dropped the coin we picked up at McKean-Russet along with a kechain travel bug and some magnets.

"Where the Eagles nest" - Find # 14 on Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Since we stayed in Maryland on our way to Virginia, we decided to look for a cache there. The location wasn't far from the hotel and it didn't take too long. It was in a nice little neighborhood with a daycare playground near by. We did see lots of muggles, so hopefully they didn't think we were up to no good!! Last time we ran into muggles (searching for SRM) the kids asked us if we were looking at buying the rail car we were looking at!! Well, we signed the log and got on the road to Virginia!

"AGT-Elk-"Turtle Rock" - Find # 13 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a little hike, but not bad. Most of it was down a hunting or logging road. It's downhill on the way in and uphill on the way out. You don't realize it until you are hiking back out!! Anyway, the rock is really cool! We left a magnet and a keychain.

"AGT-Elk-Years Gone Past" - Find #12 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a fun find. We were right behind a couple of other cachers that day. We are finding some of these hides quite interesting. you wouldn't think they could sit out so open, but yet you wouldn't know they were there if you weren't looking. This hobby is starting to get FUN!! J and I compete against each other to find the caches now!! I'm catching up:-) We left a magnet and a keychain!
"AGT-Elk-Enchanted Woodlins" - search, not found on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a tough one, our first puzzle cache. We started off all wrong and by the time we figured out what we were doing, we had spent way too much time. Since we still had a ways to go that day, we got back on the road. We hope to come back and accomplish this one soon! It would have been #6 for Elk County had we completed it!!

"AGT-Elk-In Honor Of The First In The US" - Find #11 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a sweet hide! We saw it right away and thought, "This can't be it. How would we unlock it?' So, we continued to search for about 10 minutes. After deciding that had to be it, we tinkered and found the box had no bottom!! While signing the log, a priest arrived and told J to "pull her tail" since my hair was up in a ponytail We left a magnet and a keychain. Great cache!!

"AGT-Elk-St. Mary's Overlook" in St. Mary's, PA - Find #10 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
We felt very self-conscious looking for this cache. The golfers must have thought we were crazy! Nice hide, though as the ammo box was painted to match!! We left a magnet and a keychain. We got AGT-Elk stamp # 2!! The view was a nice one of the city and I'm sure would be gorgeous if the sun would have been out!!

"AGT-Elk-Haney's Vista" in Elk County, PA - Find #9 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was our second find of our vacation. This was the first AGT-Elk County find, too. We left a magnet and a keychain. Tyhe view was beautiful, as long as you didn't look down at the animal bones and the party spot remnants. We also made sure to be careful as there was a lot of places snakes could hid!!

"AGT-McKean-Russett" in McKean County, PA - Find #8 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was our first Allegheny Geo Trail (AGT) find as well as the first for our vacation. Outside of getting concerned we drove the wrong car while driving in on the old logging road, we really enjoyed this find. I would say it is certainly proof that were are never far from nature around here!! We have to remember to get pictures we can post when we goto places like this!! Since we were heading to further away caches, we picked up the bunny coin. We stamped our AGT Passports as well!

"Allegany State Park Geobash III" in Allegany State Park on Friday & Saturday, May 16 & 17, 2008
This is a group photo from the Geobash. We had a great time meeting people and the Coin Expo was awesome. N has decided that she wants to become a geocoin collector. No expectations of making money as we know that can flop - remember Beanie Babies? - but just a fun thing to do!
"ASP-Covered Bridge 2" in Allegany State Park - Find #7 on Saturday, May 17, 2008
N had her first true find before J. We had to make this one quick as many were out looking for caches. We found it, signed the log, and got out of there. We even met other cachers on our way out! The geobash had lots of cachers out and about!!

"Road Closed Cache" in Salamanca, NY - Find # 4 on Friday, April 18, 2008
This cache was tough, too. It was in a little film canister. J again found the cache first, but this time he only helped N find it instead of just going right to it! It was a small victory for N, but a victory nonetheless!
"SRM" in Salamanca, NY - Find # 5 on Friday, April 18, 2008
This was an extremely tough find for us as it took 3 separate tries. In an with muggles, we were asked by kids if we were planning on buying the caboose! J labeled this his Everest, but N thinks there will be much harder than this one was!! We left the ASP GeoBash III token that we retrieved at "Emma's Kitty".

"Kablam!" in Salamanca, NY - Find #2 on Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Our second search and find involved avoiding muggles at a local park. Of course, the day we go, there just happens to be a lacrosse game going on. This was a micro (very small), so it was a tough search. After searching for about a half hour, J finally found the little tin!
Our next search was in Portville in the cold rain. We were unsuccessful for that one, but plan to return in the future! So many caches, so little time :-)

"American Flag Cache" in Salamanca, NY - Find #1 on Tuesday, April 1, 2008
This cache was our first search and find. It was so neat to search and find it and then see what people had left in there. Items we found include a GeoEgg that was trackable, a McDonald's token for a free ice cream, green beads, a little sun trinket, and a small key. The container was neat, too as it was a camo-taped cheese shaker.
As we become more experienced, this should get easier and even more fun!

A quick and easy find. The picture shows our GPS was accurate to within 7 feet. This was one of the last caches we found on our vacation. We really enjoyed the hunts! Since this was behind a little store, there were "muggles" everywhere. We even caught oone peeing out back!
