"AGT-McKean-Marilla" - Find #25 on Saturday, July 26, 2008

This find has a couple of milestones attached to it. First, it's find #25!! Woo-hoo!! and second, it's the 6th AGT-McKean find and completes the requirements for the this County's coin!! This was a little more of a hike and actually included the use of 2 different trails. The main trail, which includes crossing over this spillway, is very nice, the second trail is tougher.

As the photo shows, they are working on this and actually have the lake drained. The second trail is under work as well and it was quite muddy in spots. It was the first real "hike" of the day.

Well, that was all we did for the day. It was a wonderful day while we were caching, but it was good we stopped when we did. A huge thunderstorm moved in and we would have been soaked to the bone had we been out in the woods! As it was, we were shopping and the power went out at the store. When we left, the rain had slowed way down, but picked up considerably as we were loading the car. So, we still got soaked!!

On the opposite side on the reservoir is another cache. Again, I had a hard time deciding which photo to use. This find took it a little longer, but the location is awesome!! Search this title on Flickr and you'll see some great pics!! Careful, though, there may be ones that give away the exact cache location!!

Only 1 more find to complete the AGT-McKean County coin!! That will be coin #2 as we completed Elk County on our vacation earlier this year.

I had a hard time deciding which photo to blog on for this one. There are 2 caches nearby each other and both have awesome views! Our 2nd find of the day went pretty quickly. It was nice that there was a big rock nearby to sit at while stamping the passports and checking out the contents! We found a travel bug here and grabbed it to move it along. Then we moved along to the next one.......

"AGT-McKean-Timberdoodle Flats" - Find #22 on Saturday, July 26, 2008

Gosh, it feels like forever since we have been out caching. We decided to take a Saturday afternoon and complete our AGT-McKean County caches. We already had 2 from when we took our vacation, so we only needed 4 more. This was the first find of the day. It still amazes us as to the little parks and trails that are tucked into our area. Some are the best kept secrets! This trail is a short walk that has a ton of informative plaques along it.

The day was perfect for caching, too. Sunny and warm, but not too sunny or humid. Sure, we could have stayed home on worked on projects around the house, but it was much more fun to cache!!
