"Lost in the Woods" - Find #21 on Sunday, June 22, 2008
While down visiting J's parents, we decided to find this cache to drop the Koala we picked up at ASP. We even got Mom & Dad to go with us again! The path was neat and we enjoyed looking for this cache. Of course the guys went through the woods and we girls took the path!! Hopefully no one ends up with Poison Ivy!! The container was a new one for us, so that was cool too! We hope someone picks up "Kris' soon and moves it along on it's way to Australia.

"Summit Fire Tower II" - Find #20 on Monday, June 2, 2008
Well, we hadn't done any geocaching since we got back from our vacation and we had the cow coin to drop. So, we went up to Allegany State Park one day after work. This was a puzzle cache, but we were successful right away. The park is such a nice place. It's hard to believe we don't spend more time there. Well, J does (since he works there), but I don't! Well, we picked up a travel "Koala" that we plan to take to PA in a few weeks and we left a magnet.

"AGT-McKean-Kinzua Bridge" - Find #19 on Friday, May 30, 2008
This was a must see for our vacation. We were last here over 12 years ago and what a difference. We hadn't been back since the tornado took out the bridge. The area feels different. There was no one there but us, until we were leaving. Just another way we see that we are not in control! We did find the cache, took the cow coin to move on and left some magnets.
If you are ever in the area, you should stop in here!!

"Crossroads" - Find #18 on Friday, May 30, 2008
On our way back home from our vacation, we found this cache. It was a nice, easy find after the last one!! Our GPS was within 7 ft accuracy! We left a couple of magnets and moved on to the next one.

"AGT-Elk-East Branch Dang" - Find #17 on Friday, May 30, 2008
What can we say about this one! well, it was our 6th stamp for Elk County and we got the coin. What a tough one, though. Neither of us were expecting the hike this one took. We had to walk across the dam and then up into the woods. At points, we were both ready to give up, but we kept going. It was a neat area though, and we took a lot of great pictures!

"The mercn8rs multi" - Find # 16 on Thursday, May 29, 2008
We found this cache on our anniversary after visiting Penn's Cave. It a quiet little neighborhood, we found this puzzle cache. Who would have thought the area had that in their back yard! Still, it was a little uncomfortable poking around in people's back yards. The gnome was a helpful item! After putting things back, the son of the hider stopped by to make sure we found it. We are really starting to see how varied cache hides can be!

"White House Bridge" - Find # 15 on Wednesday, May 28, 2008
After spending the day with family and visiting Luray Caverns, we stopped for this cache on our way back up to State College, PA. Just outside of the little town my family lives in, this cache was just off the highway. Neat history and a somewhat surprising place to have a little pull-up with a picnic table. We dropped the coin we picked up at McKean-Russet along with a kechain travel bug and some magnets.

"Where the Eagles nest" - Find # 14 on Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Since we stayed in Maryland on our way to Virginia, we decided to look for a cache there. The location wasn't far from the hotel and it didn't take too long. It was in a nice little neighborhood with a daycare playground near by. We did see lots of muggles, so hopefully they didn't think we were up to no good!! Last time we ran into muggles (searching for SRM) the kids asked us if we were looking at buying the rail car we were looking at!! Well, we signed the log and got on the road to Virginia!

"AGT-Elk-"Turtle Rock" - Find # 13 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a little hike, but not bad. Most of it was down a hunting or logging road. It's downhill on the way in and uphill on the way out. You don't realize it until you are hiking back out!! Anyway, the rock is really cool! We left a magnet and a keychain.

"AGT-Elk-Years Gone Past" - Find #12 on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a fun find. We were right behind a couple of other cachers that day. We are finding some of these hides quite interesting. you wouldn't think they could sit out so open, but yet you wouldn't know they were there if you weren't looking. This hobby is starting to get FUN!! J and I compete against each other to find the caches now!! I'm catching up:-) We left a magnet and a keychain!
"AGT-Elk-Enchanted Woodlins" - search, not found on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
This was a tough one, our first puzzle cache. We started off all wrong and by the time we figured out what we were doing, we had spent way too much time. Since we still had a ways to go that day, we got back on the road. We hope to come back and accomplish this one soon! It would have been #6 for Elk County had we completed it!!
