"AGT-Cameron-Elk Country" Find #30 on 08/24/08
Well, after a long trip to get gas, this was a nice little walk. We had just spent a lot of time in the car and were ready to stretch our legs. The hide was cool. A hollowed out tree stump was a nice location, although I was leery to put my hand down in there to grab it. We took many photos of this location and most can be seen on Flickr.
These are the types of "hikes' I like. Most of this one was along a decent path and it was up the side of a hill. J, on the other hand, likes the more challenging ones. He gets his wish by the end of the day!!
Oh, this was find #5 for the day and our 5th Cameron AGT find. Stay tuned to see what else we did this day.

"AGT-Cameron-Hicks Run East or West" Find #29 on Sunday, August 24, 2008
This was another quick find not all that far from the last one. After this cache, things got exciting. As we were on our way to search for the next cache, we ended up on a single lane dirt road that seemed as if it ran through the middle of no where. It was then we noticed we were low on fuel and should find a gas station. Well, thank goodness for tom tom. we still had to drive for almost an hour before we got to a station outside of St. Mary's. We actually had to leave Cameron County to get gas. Oh well, we learned a good lesson - always start with a full tank of gas!!

"AGT-Cameron-Little White Church on the Hill" Find #28 on Sunday, 08/24/08
This was a quick "cache & dash" as it looked like the church folk had something starting soon. The people who were there were helpful, some may say a little too helpful as they didn't let us search very long. As you can see by the picture, it's right in the church parking lot. We left a few goodies, signed the log and got out of their way so they could enjoy whatever was about to start.

"AGT-Cameron-Lower Bear Run" find #27 on Sunday, August 24, 2008
Grabbed this cool poker chip at our 2nd find of the day. We had read in the geocaching.com logs that there was a tree nearby that a bear had rubbed the bark off, and they were not kidding. J stood next to it and raised his arm as high as he could and the bark was rubbed off at least 2 feet higher than his hand. For those who are our Flickr friends, you can see that picture on the Flickr site. Needless to say, we made a lot of noise on the way in and on the way out from this one.
The nats and skeeters were sure out on this one. We kept singing the "There ain't no bugs on me" jingle, but it didn't help! Oh well We found the cache, stamped our AGT passports on headed on to the next cache.

"AGT-Cameron-Fish, Fair, or Cache?" Find #26 on Sunday, August 24, 2008
This was the first of many finds this outing. The little fairgrounds were empty today. Here in this photo you can see a small blacktop racetrack. The cache was off in the woods. There were several piles of old pipes and that's where it was! It is turning out to be a nice day and we hoped to complete at least Cameron and possibly Potter AGT today. Stay tuned to see how we did.

"AGT-McKean-Marilla" - Find #25 on Saturday, July 26, 2008
This find has a couple of milestones attached to it. First, it's find #25!! Woo-hoo!! and second, it's the 6th AGT-McKean find and completes the requirements for the this County's coin!! This was a little more of a hike and actually included the use of 2 different trails. The main trail, which includes crossing over this spillway, is very nice, the second trail is tougher.
As the photo shows, they are working on this and actually have the lake drained. The second trail is under work as well and it was quite muddy in spots. It was the first real "hike" of the day.
Well, that was all we did for the day. It was a wonderful day while we were caching, but it was good we stopped when we did. A huge thunderstorm moved in and we would have been soaked to the bone had we been out in the woods! As it was, we were shopping and the power went out at the store. When we left, the rain had slowed way down, but picked up considerably as we were loading the car. So, we still got soaked!!

"AGT-McKean-Heffner Reservoir 1" - Find #24 on Saturday, July 26, 2008
On the opposite side on the reservoir is another cache. Again, I had a hard time deciding which photo to use. This find took it a little longer, but the location is awesome!! Search this title on Flickr and you'll see some great pics!! Careful, though, there may be ones that give away the exact cache location!!
Only 1 more find to complete the AGT-McKean County coin!! That will be coin #2 as we completed Elk County on our vacation earlier this year.

"AGT-McKean-Heffner Reservoir 2" - Find #23 on Saturday, July 26, 2008
I had a hard time deciding which photo to blog on for this one. There are 2 caches nearby each other and both have awesome views! Our 2nd find of the day went pretty quickly. It was nice that there was a big rock nearby to sit at while stamping the passports and checking out the contents! We found a travel bug here and grabbed it to move it along. Then we moved along to the next one.......

"AGT-McKean-Timberdoodle Flats" - Find #22 on Saturday, July 26, 2008
Gosh, it feels like forever since we have been out caching. We decided to take a Saturday afternoon and complete our AGT-McKean County caches. We already had 2 from when we took our vacation, so we only needed 4 more. This was the first find of the day. It still amazes us as to the little parks and trails that are tucked into our area. Some are the best kept secrets! This trail is a short walk that has a ton of informative plaques along it.
The day was perfect for caching, too. Sunny and warm, but not too sunny or humid. Sure, we could have stayed home on worked on projects around the house, but it was much more fun to cache!!
