AGT-Jefferson-North Fork Cache #2 find # 43 on 10/05/08

This was our third find of the day. The area was really cool. Very reminiscent of Thunder Rocks at Allegany State Park. We had a lot of fun playing on these rocks. We left some goodies and headed on our way.

Until next time.........

This was a quick dash and cache. The cache also serves as proof that caching can take you just about anywhere! Thank goodness it was after the season, so we didn't have many muggles to worry about!

I notice it's getting harder for me to blog about these older caches. I'm just going to have to buckle down and get them caught up before we have more.

Until next time.....

As you can see, this new hobby of ours is taking us to some pretty serene places. J really liked the log bridge we had to cross to get to this. The first of 6 finds for the day, we were off and running. Today we hoped to complete Jefferson County. Stay tuned to see how we fared!!

Until next time......

More to blog!!!

OK, just a quick note. We were VERY successful in caching yesterday. We completed 2 AGT Counties that included 12 finds, the most for us in one day. I'm going to my best at getting caught up with all our finds over the next few days/weeks. I may try to post more than one a day!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Got lots to do and never enough time!!

Hello. Just thought I'd drop a quick note. I've been meaning to get our cache finds blogged, but spent most of this evening creating a plan to get (hopefully) two more AGT counties done tomorrow!! We have 14 more finds (as of right now) that I still need to blog, and I'll only have more by the end of tomorrow!! Hopefully at least 12 more, making that the most we will have done in any day. If we are successful in completing both counties (Clarion and Forest) we will only have 2 more counties to go!! We are trying to hurry up and finish the entire AGT trail before Thanksgiving and I think we may just be able to do it.

Wish us luck for tomorrow!! It'll be a busy day!! Untile next time......

"seths revenge" Find #40 on 09/07/08

OK, we decided to get this one on the way home as it's just down the road from our house. We've seen it since it first came up, but that darn bridge being out kept us from stopping for it. Well, the bridge now has 1 lane back open and we were going near here anyway!!

For those who know the area, this is a view of Valent's. N got to enjoy the wonderful scent from here time to time (when the wind was blowing right) at her house growing up. I'm sure it amazes those who come from larger areas that I consider myself a "city-girl" when I was less than a mile from a working farm!! Well, when you live in 1 of the 2 cities in the County.......

Until next time..........

So this one was a pickle. We couldn't get into the park, so over the bank we went. This completed Potter County AGT!! Woo hoo! Well, from here we decided to head back home for the day. We were happy to now have the eastern Counties completed!!

The # 5 find for AGT-Potter was a little bit more of a hike than originally expected. We enjoyed the walk, though, and found it quite interesting. J loved the view of the saw mill (see the photo) and we had to stop for some pictures on the way back.

We decided to turn and head back the way we came instead of completing the self-guided tour. After all, we had 1 more cache to go to complete Potter County. You can certainly tell we are heading into fall as the days aren't quite as long as they were a few weeks ago. Until next time......

We really enjoyed this cash. It included a few steep parts, but it was a nice walk in the woods. The view was gorgeous!! The log benches made it nice, too. A place for weary, out of breath hikers to stop and enjoy the view.

We took a little bit of time here. After signing the log and stamping our passports, we left a few Allegany State Park GeoBash IV wooden nickles and some pins. It would have been nice to stay longer, I can almost imagine people having a nice little picnic here, but we had more caches to find. So, off to the next one...

This area was a neat find. Check our Flickr photos to see the cool dam that is here - just search for GC166B9 in the title. I have to say, I was shocked they have a swimming area so close to the dam!

This cache required some balancing skills while stamping the passports and signing the log. The fallen log you see on the righthand side of the picture is where the cache is located. The picture doesn't clearly show you the incline of the hill!

Well, we maintained our footing, signed the log, stamped our passports, left some goodies and carefully made our way back down the hill. We then went to check out the cool dam and then headed on to the next one.
