The second cache we did in the park was Hoff N Hide. This one was a slight hike into the woods, but not too bad. We took a battery case and left behind the the White Jeep Travel Bug “Ardella”. There was another cache in the park, but it was a 2.5 mile multi and it was getting too late to do that one. We’ll have to head back that way another night.

After we did two out of the three Brit prerequisites, we went over to the Hoff Preserve where there were a few caches. We tackled Hof and Puff and Blow the Trees Down first. A pretty easy find fairly close to the parking lot. We took a bracelet and left a princess mini-frisbee.

After we finished Big Brit, we went to the next closest cache. Wee Brit was in the same blueberry field. Not only was the container on this one smaller, so was the required number of points. We found it pretty quickly. Haylee traded a couple bracelets she had picked up at Big Brit for some beads from this one.

Our first trip out in October started at a blueberry field in Grand Haven. The first cache we did was BIG BRIT. The coordinates at the first point were a little hard to read so when we had a hard time finding the coordinates at the second point we started to doubt if we had read them correct. So we went back and checked again. We had the right coordinates in the GPS. We took a look at the hint for the cache and went back to where we were to look a second time. We managed to find it. All went well until we got to the next to the last point. We couldn’t find coordinates to the last point. The hint said something about cricket. We assumed it meant the game, but neither one of us had a clue how to play it so the clue didn’t make much sense. After a few fruitless phone calls, we looked it up on the BlackBerry and got enough information from wikipedia to take a closer look at a couple things. Sure enough, we found it. Moved on to the final point and found the cache no problem. We left the TYCHO travel bug. We almost forgot to get the clue for the British Invasion so we had to run back and get it.
