"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!

"Crossroads" in Lantz Corners, PA - Find # 18 on Friday, May 30, 2008
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!
Keep watching for more posts on our geocaching adventures!
