Two Parks and a Power Line

We continued our geocaching onslaught on May 11th. This time we decided to check out the caches in a park in West Plattsburgh!

Camera Cache
Not long after Zoey and Zaiden got done playing at the park we ventured off to the nearby caches. The first cache is called Camera Cache because it consisted of a camera for cachers to document their visit to the cache. At least, it use to. Now the cache just has the pictures that were developed from the first camera that resided in the cache. This fact didn't make it any less fun to find.

Look at those handsome cachers!

Hill Side, Hill Cache, Hill Top Cache
After finally locating the trail head we started toward the first cache. The recent weather did a number since there was several downed trees. Twenty minutes later we were at the GZ for the first cache. Justin ended up finding this one which was very well camouflaged. We decided to drop off one of our geocoins here and continue on.

 The next cache was another example of doing things the hard way. We exited the trails onto a power line and followed the sand path up the hill for a bit until we found that we needed to bushwhack our way to the next cache. After a few minutes of making our way through thick foliage my mother found the next one. It was after we finished signing the log and trading swag that we noticed the other nearby power line ran right next to where it was located. Hind sight and all!

I walked right over this one!

The last cache in the series of hill related name caches was not far from where the two power line trails met. There was all sorts of fun things nearby too like "don't ride your atvs here" and "keep them atvs outta here fool" signs all over. I don't think they like atvs. Anyway this cache was also cleverly hidden and Colette was the one to find it. The placing of this was also fairly inspirational and we'd like to use a similar idea ourselves in the future.

After enjoying ourselves we had a little time left to try for other nearby caches. I thought a new set of eyes might make this DNF go away. After reading all the logs and hints we finally found it. We had visited this cache multiple times and I was very excited to finally have the smiley on it!

Finally got you, you little bugger!
