"AGT-Clarion-Park with a purpose" find # 61 on 10/19/08
The seventh find of the day was not as quick as we would like, but we were eventually successful. Hi nicely within a large area of little bushes, this one took a while. Especially since the GPS would jump around like crazy. Eventually J was able to narrow it down and we found the cache. Since daylight was burning and we still had several caches yet to find, we signed the log, stamped our passports, left some goodies, and moved along.
Until next time........

"AGT-Clarion-Lost But Not Forgotten" find #60 on 10/19/08
Without even reading the description for this one, it was easy to guess this cache would be in an old cemetery. What a nice, quiet resting area. At the top of a little hill this beautiful little cemetery sits, and we felt so at peace as we looked for the cache. As the sun shone through the trees and the cool breeze of autumn blew, we quickly found the cache.
Since the cache was not all that well hidden, J took the extra steps to make sure the next cacher would not find as easy and would have more time to enjoy the serene quiet of this place. After successfully hiding the cache, it was time to leave and move on to the next cache. Until next time.......

"AGT-Clarion-Are you Game?" find #59 on 10/19/08
This was a nice walk, albeit a little muddy, on PA State Game Lands. As per usual, trying to get there directly, we wondered off the beaten path a little, but we ended up no worse for the wear. On the way out, we took a slightly different path that brought us out on the road, rather than in the parking area. Fortunately, it wasn't too far from the car.
Since we were on a mission to find 12 caches today, we quickly headed on to the next cache. Until next time........

"AGT-Clarion-Quiet in N. Clarion Co." find # 58 on 10/19/08
OK, so I was planning on getting those finds all caught up and then I didn't!! Well, it's been a busy few weeks and I'm now going to try in Earnest in getting the finds all caught up. The really sad part is that I'm starting to lose track in my mind of all the individual finds!! I'll do my best in writing about them!!
So, after searching through all the pictures from this find and re-reading the description of the cache, my memory is slowing coming back. This relatively quick little find was near a small country cemetery (I believe) that has a little area that is great for policemen to sit and watch for speeders. We couldn't have picked a nicer day to work on two counties of the AGT!!
On to the next cache. Until next time........

"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!!

"AGT-Crawford-Gibson Park" find # 54 on 10/13/08
This was our 3rd find of the day and 6th (and final) find for AGT-Crawford. What seemed to be an easy find turned into quite the hunt. After getting back into the general area of the cache, we had a heck of a time actually locating it. Both our GPS units had has roaming quite a large area to narrow it down. Finally, J was ale to pinpoint the coords and locate the cache.
At this cache, J decided to mark the "GeoTruck" as a waypoint to see how close it would get him back to the truck. He ended up a lot further away than he would have liked!! We'll have to keep working on that!!

"AGT-Crawford-Sibling Soldiers Returns" find #53 on 10/13/08
Our 2nd find of the day and 5th for AGT-Crawford. This was a beautiful short walk along a four-wheeler trail. The hint for this one came in quite handy for finding the cache.
As you can see, the area around here is still quite green. I'm guessing it started changing within a few weeks from when we were there. I know it would be quite picturesque with full fall colors!
Well, we still had one more stop to make on the way home, so we quickly signed the log, stamped the passports, left some goodies, and headed on our way.

"AGT-Crawford-French Kiss" find # 52 on 10/13/08
What a neat place for a hide. This took a little searching. Thank goodness J is so tall! I don't think I could have found it on my own! The picture doesn't due the tree (or is it a stump?) justice. I was able to stand inside the hole!!
The creek this is near is kinda neat, too. the short little walk to the cache area is nice. Plus, we had a beautiful day. We were on our way back home from the GeoCoinFest and figured we'd finish up Crawford County AGT along the way.
