whether the weather...

It had been almost ten days since we had been caching. The weather decided to take a turn for the worst. After having almost a week of 60 degree weather that weekend it snowed. The urge to find more caches was greater than our fear of the cold, so on March 26th we tried again!

Lest We Forget #3 Greenwoods
The first cache that popped up on our radar once we got to Vermont was part of mcgillz' Lest We Forget series. His purpose behind them was to show respect to those that came before us, regardless of how famous they were. #3 is located in a very rural area on a small stretch of road with just a few houses on it. The ride there was very nice and scenic.

Colette decided that this time she would be brave and venture into the cemetery that this cache called home. After a few minutes of looking she found the micro, signed it, and ran back to the car to get away from the cold. Unfortunately for her she neglected to get a picture of her find, so I had her march back out there and get it again!

Hill Top Monument
After facing the cold coming from the lake we thought it best to avoid caching for today and find a place for the kids to enjoy themselves. One of the McDonalds in Plattsburgh has an indoor playroom so made our way toward there for some fun and lunch. Colette felt bad about our short time caching today so she found one that was on the way to McDonalds. Hill Top Monument is named as such because it is hidden in a monument that is on a hill. This is another monument places by scouts, as was the cache.

After reading the logs for the cache we found that the coordinates were a bit off. The coordinates lead you right to the monument itself, where the cache is not located. Since Colette had found a cache in a stone wall before she decided to start looking there. I checked the nearby bushes for rock formations, but there were none to be found. Then I noticed an area that would be perfect to hide a cache... bingo! Two caches for the day isn't too bad, onward to Micky D's. We enjoyed our lunches and the kids got to play with others in the playroom.

super dunk motel
Once the fun at McDs came to and end we headed home. Colette fired up the GPS one last time to grab a cache that was on the way out of the city. This little micro is called super dunk motel because it is situated between the Super 8 Motel and Dunkin Donuts. The hiding spot for this one was very similar to Right on Target so Colette made short work of it. Being that it was a micro there wasn't much room in the cache, but we were able to leave one of the coins that we found in Cumberland Head.
