Best Of Show Our Second Find

 

 

Went across the street to find Bluff's Barrier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weenie Roast and it has nothing to do with BBQs,  just watch out for the electric fence when you have to relief your bladder.  I hear now that it has been Muggled or just disappeared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man what a haul at A Bugs Life!
I left two glow in the dark bugs, a plastic dog and the silver carbiner key chain.
Took a small wooden box with mini wooden Dominoes.

 

 

 

 

 

Tyler and me at Round Rock Rocky with Rocky, too bad someone stole him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Nano Cache at Burger Time

 

 

 

 

 

 

Took three tries until I finally found the Mystery Cache 
  at Rusty Crossing.

 

 

 

 

Can was full of Hot Wheels (and History), a few
Traveling Bugs where I took Allen Family Bug and
left a yellow Corvette.

 

 

 

 

The little bugger finally made it home in Calif. 10/01/06, On the
road for 2 1/2yrs from Sherwood
Forest UK.

 

What a Tree was one great big Oak
surrounded with poison ivy.  Was
able to trade a little dog for a little car.

 

 

 

While returning home after a Did Not Find (DNF)
went to an area near the neighborhood to find
Pipe Dreams.

 

 

Actually had my hand on Womens Side in Texarkana,Ark. earlier but wasn't
positive.  Returned after a heavy rain and yep that was it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thought I was going to have a problem in getting hold of Ferguson Park, also in
Texarkana, when I spotted the greenery in front.  Later found out it is not
Poison Ivy.

 

 

Quite the cache where I left the goodies on the lid; a plastic dog,
GeoCoin from GeoWoodstock 4 and a GeoNickel of mine.

Took a GeoCoin from Videoman 06 and the broken compass.

 

Tyler and I attended our first GeoWoodstock Memorial weekend 2006, Saturday only.  Met all kinds of fellow Geocachers and characters like this Stormtrooper from the 501st Imperial Troops.
Lord Vader was there too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even got credit in finding some Traveling Bugs as in '29 Pounds', a cinder stepping stone.

 

 

 

 

Then again you needed to watch your step while out in the park looking for geocaches.

Don't worry, this one was stuffed and was a Traveling Bug from a cacher called Dark Star.

 

 

 

 

 

There was a Silent Auction where some of the prizes were caches like this water bottle that still held water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the items in the first Geocache planted outside Portland, Ore. back in 2000.  Preserved in a glass and wood case for all to see, the remains of a can of black eyed peas. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other items for the Silent Auction were this beer bottle top...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A pair of silk Ivy leafs sewn together that made a pocket to hide the log inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Chinese Puzzle box that you had to figure out first how to get into it before you could sign the log.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this was lying on the ground it looked like an old log just laying there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A real, large acorn hollowed out and a plastic wire tie to fasten it to the limb of an oak tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cache was a small hidden compartment in the back of the clock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Traveling Bug was Nugget.

If he kisses you, which he normally doesn't, you can log him as a find.

The peanut butter biscuit he is chewing on I rubbed on my cheek so I got all kinds of kisses. 

 

 

 

The sales tent to get all kinds of Geocaching goodies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Pavilion and Registration Tent where most of the activities were.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even had some face painting going on.  That is the Geocaching.com Logo on the side of her face.  I have no idea who she was.
