"AGT-Forest-Turkeys" find # 66 on 10/19/08
We were glad this was a quick find as it was starting to show signs of getting dark and the last thing we wanted to do was get caught in the woods in the dark. I never should have watched the Blair Witch Project all those years ago!!
Anyway, this cache was located outside a wild turkey habitat. J, being the sweet guy that he is, said that he was returning me to my natural habitat. He found it much funnier than I did.
We thought about taking a seat and relaxing after this find, but the glider rocker was a little worse for wear and we thought better of it.
Well, we did it. We completed 12 finds and 2 AGT Counties in one day. We now only have 2 counties left to complete the trail. With winter coming, we will be doing our best to complete the trail before Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to see how we did.
Until next time.......

"AGT-Forest-Guitonville Road Cache" find # 65 on 10/19/08
This was a little bit of a walk, but a relatively quick find. The walk was through lots of weeds. I don't know the technical names for them, but the ones that stick to you. We both were trying to brush them off us before getting back in the car.
The walk wasn't too bad. I was quite glad we went to the left rather than the right as it was quite the hill that way. There was a little hill, but nothing too bad!
Well, again, we still had one more to complete yet today, so we did what we had to do and moved on.

"AGT-Forest-Dedication" find # 64 on 10/19/08
Boy, this was a heck of a find. The name tells it all as it took serious dedication to find this. We were happy that we were able to drive up closer than the off season 1.06 mile hike in.
We were able to drive in so that we were within about a half mile of the cache. Once we got to ground zero, we spent at least a half hour to 45 minutes searching for the cache. J finally got to the right place where he found the cache under the rock that was under all the leaves!!
Well, we still had a couple more caches to find and daylight was burning, so we stamped the passports and moved on.

"AGT-Forest-Going Fishing" find # 57 on 10/19/08
This was a find that you definitely had to watch for muggles. It is right out there in the open, so to speak. The sights were quite beautiful on this fine autumn day. Many people were pulling in and out of the parking lot. Once we located the cache, we went down the hill out of sight to sign the log and stamp our passport.
Well, we now have Forest County half way done. Our next several caches will be in Clarion County and then we'll hit the rest of Forest County on our way back through. Until next time......

"AGT-Forest-Hickory Hunt" find #56 on 10/19/08
Our second find of the day went OK. It was near a little store out in the Country. Per usual, we went in the wrong way. After wandering through this small wooded area and trying to make our way through all the thorns and prickers, we found the cache. If we would have come through the little field, we would have only needed to walk into the wooded area about 10 feet!! Oh well, it's par for the course. It's like those hunting dogs that get a on a trail and nothing can stop them. We get following the GPS and don't stop to look for a better way.
Well, we needed to get heading on if we were going to hit all twelve finds for the day!! Until next time........

"AGT-Forest-Going Batty II" find # 55 on 10/19/08
This was the start of our most ambitious caching day to date. Our goal for this particular day was to complete 2 counties within the Allegheny GeoTrail. This would require a total of 12 cache finds located throughout two counties in PA.
We were a little nervous starting with a puzzle cache when we had so many to find today, but it seemed easy enough. We enjoyed learning about the bats and we were able t quickly learn the coords for the cache. Once we had the coords, we headed off into the woods below the barn and made relatively quick work of locating the cache.
Now we'll always know that this barn is the home of bats! I don't know that I would want to be too close to it at dusk! Although it would be a site to see all the bats leaving at night!!
