A Dark & Stormy Night #1: GEOrge Was Here (GCKRZG)

Just out for a quick cache with the folks. This one was a good hide it was a outlet plate velcroed to the wall. Not much to it.

BOY, it's windy here...! ! ! (GC140BA)

Just out for another find. This one is by a cool Windmill. The boys had fun finding the geocaching in the group of rocks. As you can see it's fairly easy to spot so I let the kids find it.

Ethan was able to make the find. He was pretty proud of himself.

Food, Gas, TB LODGEing (GC1Y78G)

The boys wanted to go caching today so we grabbed our stuff and headed out. I had a few travel bugs I need to find a home for so I figured it would be a good time.


I also pickedup a travel bug and geocoin:

Get on the bus, Gus! (GC171E4)

Third stop of the day, at a bus stop no less. It was a pretty busy road so we didn't stay long. It was a nice little rock wall cache.

Weekend in Bonney Lake (GC1234X)

For the second stop we found a cache in the parking lot of the Home Depot. It was a pretty cool hide. it's a bolt that unscrews with a little log book inside.

When the Wind Blows - My Very Own JARW (GC17C0B)

Dad called and said he was in town just as the boys and I were headed out to find a few caches. So we met up with him and grabbed a few. Oliver took a fall and scraped his knee. He wasn't very happy and didn't want to take any thing from the cache.

zntargvp meets Evil (C)ammo (GC1932Z)

Out caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton and kids on an all day trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series.

I found this one to be a clever yet fair straightforward find. Maybe only straightforward because we found zntargvp series #3 earlier in the day.


I picked up a travel bug Alien Visitor Delta


8 of 10 caches for the day.

Evil (C)ammo 2 (GC18V66)

Out caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton and kids on an all day trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series.

If Evil (C)ammo 6 was the nicest walk in the series this is by far the most difficult. A 2.5 star Terrain seems a little low (at least this time of year). I should have worn pants for this one. The kids couldn't make in on the last part of the trail the brush was too thick.

6 of 10 caches for the day.

Evil (C)ammo 6 (GC1C70Z)

Out caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton and kids on an all day trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series.












Next it was off to Black Diamond for Evil (C)ammo 6. At first we weren't sure if we were parking in the right spot. We saw the trail head but it didn't seem like it fit in with the rest of the series. Luckily one of the neighbors saw us kind of unsure and assured us we were in the right spot.
This is by far the nicest walk of any in the Evil (C)ammo series. I really enjoyed the little creek and bridge.

5 of 10 caches for the day.

Evil (C)ammo 1 (GC18WWT)

Out caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton and kids on an all day trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series.

Next we headed to Kent to find the first cache in the series. At first we had no idea where to go we had 4 different GPS units all pointing in a different direction. I think the power lines were causing us some problems. Once they settled down we were able to find the cache.
RJ found the cache hiding in the woods. While the cache isn't an ammo can it does fit in with the spirit of series. Very nice cammo.

4 of 10 caches for the day.

Out caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton and kids on an all day trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series.













Next we headed to Des Moines to find # 5 in the series. This was another great camouflage ammo can. Dad and I saw the cache at the same time, he grabbed the cache while I took some pictures.

zntargvp Series #3 (GC197NR)

Today I went caching with Jchaager, MysticCedars, & RJBroxton plus our combined 8 kids for a total of 13 people in 3 cars on an all day 80 mile geocaching trip. I had planned this caching trip to find all the Evil (C)ammo series geocaches. All the Evil (C)ammo series were hidden by tomison and since he also hide the zntargvp series we decided add this cache to the trip. I was also a good meeting spot for us to start.

It took us a while to find this cache it was our first 5 star hide and very cleverly camouflaged. RJ's wife made the find. The cache was a magnetic strip stuck to the side of a bridge.

1 of 10 caches for the day.

Bevin Lake Pit Stop (GCYW3D)

For Labor Day we when camping with my parents in Packwood, WA. While there we had to find a cache so I found this one at a rest stop between our camp site and Packwood. We could have explored a little more but it pretty much rained all weekend.
