Number 100!! It took a total of 55 days (26 of which we actually went out caching), but we have now found 100 caches. We reached this milestone with the Dykema’s. Isaiah and Tom may have ended up a bit muddy, but things happen out on the trail . This momentous occasion was reached on Muddy Mahame. In celebration, we released our very first travel bug: HayleeBugg’s 100.

Having given up on the area of the cemetery, we went across town to Marvelous Multi. A fairly quick find… the longest part was the walking in between points.

Still looking to make progress toward #100, we went on to Paranormal Michigan #2 – Legends of the Hill. We had attempted this one before, but Tom & Angie hadn’t. The second time was the charm here (or maybe it was the lack of attacking squirrels) as we made the find.

Our plan for this coming weekend is to meet up with the Dykema’s and do our 100th cache together (and a couple leading up to it). The agreement was that we’d both have 97 completed caches when we met up. So we were bored # 1 was our 97th find. There was a second “we were bored” cache, but we didn’t attempt it as it would have given us too many caches… though it was getting a touch late for the youngest team member so it’s probably better that the temptation wasn’t there.

This cache was just enabled today and we were the third group to find it.

We had started to do The GREAT Frisbee Golf HIDES on the 26th of September when we were doing other caches on that course. We ran out of time then, but were in the neighborhood today so stopped to do it real quick. It was a fairly easy find. As we were walking away and went to find the next closest cache, we realized that neither one of us had our GPS on us. Uh oh. We went back and searched near the cache area. Fortunately, we did find it… though being an OD Green device, it did take a little bit of extra time.

The cache owners may have thought that Nothing Special wasn’t anything special, but any cache with a trackable in it is at least a little special. We took the Saman Team geocoin and left the Sadie girl geocoin copy.

Typically we’ve not been the best with micros… and Not Conquest, But Peace was even worse being a nano. But we did find it… and without out any outside assistance!

On our last attempt of Veterans Memorial Park Tribute Cache we found the rock that had all the words on it to lead us to the final location, but didn’t have any luck actually finding the cache. After the Moore’s had recently found the cache, we knew for sure it was there. Didn’t take long to find it this evening.

Though our previous attempts at Stix VI Just hiding out resulted in no cache being found, we tried again tonight. Last night Jeff and Jamie found it so we knew it was still there. It was quite dark out when we got there and we didn’t have flashlights to help… so we were using our phones for illumination. It took a little bit more over the phone prompting than it would have in the daylight, but we did find it. We had looked pretty darn close to where it turned out to be on both of our previous attempts (and the Moores looked there, too, on the trip they took with us).

In the same rest stop as the duck was Agnew Rest Area TB Campsite. It was a little deeper into “the bush” than most and there were no trails that went nearby it, but we found it nonetheless. We dropped off Naniloa Napa’a travel bug and picked up the Sadie girl geocoin copy (not an actual coin, just a laminated piece of paper with the coin’s number on it).
