In the same cemetery is Death Defying. From reading the logs we knew that this one required some climbing. Despite that knowledge, we were unable to find it.

We had made plans to go out with the Dykema’s to get from 97 to 100 caches today. Even though it was raining, we went out anyway. Though we did leave Haylee behind being that she’s had a bit of a cold for the past couple weeks. Necessary Evil was a bit too evil for us to succeed at finding it. Guess this one didn’t help with our quest.

As disappointing as it is to end on a DNF, we just couldn’t seem to locate Creepy Cache.

After the lakeside cache, we went on to troll under the bridge. We were literally crawling under the walkway but had no luck in finding it.

This is another attempt for tonight that we’re only logging on this site. It seems we didn’t give up on Crossing Hoffma soon enough because by the time we made it to Tee’d Off it was way to dark to look and flashlights don’t help all that much. It ended up being a pretty dark walk back to the van.

You win some and you loose some. Tonight was definitely the later. We actually tried this one on the 4th but it was getting late and when we got to the point we realized that it was a multi. Not only was it a multi, but it was a REALLY long one (a 2.5 mile hike). Before we found the coordinates for the second point, a guy and his dog came by to check for some birds. We decided to call it a night and come back another night.

Fast forward to tonight and we tried Crossing Hofma again. (On the way out we saw some people trying Hoff N Hide. They said it was their first cache ever. We don’t know for sure if they found it or not. As of the time of this writing, there’s no log entry for it.) This time we managed to find the first two points, but we got stumped at the third. We looked for quite some time, but the GPS just wouldn’t give us a good lock on where we were. It was jumping around so much that the actual point could have been anywhere in about a 100 foot radius. A hundred feet in the woods contains a LOT of places to hide a small laminated card and while we certainly looked in a lot of places, we obviously didn’t look in enough. We decided to call it a night if we wanted to have a chance at any other caches tonight.

It’s really painful to log Onward and Upward as a Did Not Find because it’s not our fault at all. In fact, we’re only logging it on our site and not on geocaching.com. We got to pretty close to where the cache is when a group of teenagers came by. Most of them were smoking and they seemed to be under age. It would appear they were just hiding out in the woods. Anyway, it seemed unwise to look for the cache in their field of view (and it had to be within view of where they were) so we moved on.

We didn’t log Stix VI Just hiding out last time we tried it, but we did try it once before without any luck. Unfortunately, even with the extra eyes tonight we didn’t have any better luck .

We had tried Suttons Landing once before without any luck, though we had a couple people in the van waiting for us so we didn’t want to spend too long looking for it. We tried again tonight on the way home, but it was getting dark and it was hard to see anything with just the light from the flashlights we had. We’ll have to give it a shot next summer if it’s still around.

Always a bummer to log a did not find and Some Silly Shopping is no exception. Though had we checked the logs before hand we probably wouldn’t have tried it as the last few attempts have been unsuccessful.
