“AGT-Warren-Kinzua Dam Overlook” find #79 on 11/08/08
Well, the final AGT cache was exciting to say the least. At first, our TomTom had us climbing up the side of a mountain. We started and stopped up the mountain three times before I convinced J that we needed to try driving up somehow. Well, we finally got back in the car and drove. We had almost given up hope when we finally found a road that went up to the overlooks.
We stopped and took a few pictures at the first look before getting back into the car and heading to the second overlook. Then, we saw him. A black bear was in the road as we rounded the last bend before the second overlook. Good thing we decided to drive to the second overlook rather than walk!! Well, once the bear saw us, he took off running into the woods.
We parked at the second overlook and decided we should make noise to keep that bear away as we headed into the woods to find the cache. We didn’t have to walk too far into the woods before we came upon the cache. As you can see by the photo, something (probably the bear we just saw) had attacked the cache and destroyed most of the contents. Fortunately, the stamp for the AGT passports was fine! We cleaned up the destroyed cache as much as we could and determined the bear must have been after the raspberry lipgloss someone had left in the cache.
We headed back out to the car and had some sparkling grape juice to celebrate the completion of the AGT. What a way to finish. We reminisced about some of the finds and how we really love this new activity of ours! Now it’s finding the next “game within the game”!
Until next time………….
