"AGT-Venango-The Raymilton Polk Express" find # 72 on 11/02/08
Our sixth and final cache of the day was another multi-part cache. Again, this was a two stage find that proved quite interesting. The first part took us to a driveway where a note with the second stage coordinates was located stuck in the pipe of a gate. The second stage took us to another of PA's game lands. We had to traverse through more weeds (as seen in the photo) to get to the wooded area where the cache was located.
Again, as headed back from the find, we ran into another caching couple. The couple, from Venango County, were just getting started on the AGT. We talked with them for quite some time. It was a little unnerving, though, as we heard lots of gunshots.
So, we have now completed 9 of the 10 AGT counties. Next weekend we should be able to complete it if all goes well. until next time..........

"AGT-Venango-The Covered Bridge" find #71 on 11/02/08
OK, after following the Tom Tom in the car and having it wanting us to drive down some old four-wheeler trail, we were at a loss. Finally, we used our own senses and finally found the little road that goes under the bridges. What an adorable little covered bridge that is in a little out-of-the-way place.
True to form for the day, another cacher caught up to us. Although the cacher wasn't sure we were cachers too (as noted in his find log), we were sure he was one. As we headed back out, we saw the GPS around his neck and the AGT passport in his back pocket. This is the most we have ran into other cachers to date.

"AGT-Venango-Dewey Decimal" find #70 on 11/02/08
This was another quick cache and dash as we felt a little uncomfortable lurking around a fire station. Also, there were a lot of muggles to be concerned with. The cache wasn't hard to find at all.
We decided to stop and get a quick bite to eat since we were in a large town, so we went through a local fast food drive through. The food was OK, but the service wasn't that great. Oh well, what can you expect at a fast food joint, right. On to the next cache.

"AGT-Venango-Two Mile History" find #69 on 11/02/08
Our third cache of the day was a 2 part multi-cache. We were able to make quick work of this. The first stage involved checking out the history of the dam located here and the second stage took us to the park administration building.
We had to make this a quick cache and dash as another caching couple pulled into the first stage area just as we were leaving. We did end up meeting with the fellow cachers after we found the cache and chatted with them for quite some time. They were from Ohio and have done a lot of traveling. We really enjoyed meeting them and their two little dogs - one of which was a blind Yorkie.
Well, we still had 3 more to find today, so we had to get motoring. Until next time....

"AGT-Venango-Wooden Gliders Trail" find #68 on 11/02/08
This cache took us to a unique area. As the picture shows, it's a cross country ski area. The walk to the cache was a nice little hike along part of the ski trail. A gas storage well and line were the backdrop to this cache location.
On the way to the cache, we were approached by 2 dogs, trailed by their leashes. The first dog, a Jack Russell was a little ornery. The other dog was more timid. After a few minutes of standoff, the owner came along and gathered them up. I guess you just never know who or what you may come across geocaching!!

"AGT-Venango-Oil & Graves" find #67 on 11/02/08
This was our first find of the day. It was next to a cute little crick on one side and a cemetery on the other side. As you see here in the picture, we had to avoid a couple of "man swallowing" holes while looking for the cache.
As we headed out from the cache, we ran into a nice young couple from Erie, PA. We chatted with them for awhile before heading out to the next cache. Our goal is to complete Venango County today and Warren County next weekend.
