Following our success in the ballfield, we headed over to Northside multi. As the title suggests, this one was a multicache. The description for it said it was a walk in the woods behind the former grocery store, so we parked in that lot and headed toward the woods beind the store. Oops, the first stage isn’t in those woods. We found the first stage OK once we got over that preconcieved notion and got the coordinates for the second stop. Couldn’t find anything there. The last few entries are also of people who say they couldn’t find anything, so perhaps it’s MIA.

Our first stop on the 5th was Derelict Ballfield. Other than getting a little side-tracked on the second coordinate, it was a fairly easy cache. We took a Tigger pen for Brendan and left behind a Nokia phone pin.

After our two sucesses for the night, we decided to try the Very Very Angry Beaver again, but once again unsucessfully. We went back to point #2 just to make sure we had the correct coordinates, and they were. Even with all of us looking, we couldn’t find the box. Makes one wonder if it’s still there.

Upon completing the Bucket of Wishes, we started on Walk the Line by the Correctional Facility in Muskegon. The biggest surprise of that one was completely unexpected even by the people that left the cache. We found a cockatoo! It sat on Chris, Haylee, and Jake. It also tried to sit on Jamie, but she didn’t like that too much.

The bird even liked Haylee!

On day three we took along Jamie and the Boys… with the extra people, we also left behind the dog. Our first stop was A Bucket Full of Wishes. An easy find, but it was a little strange walking into somebody’s front yard. We found the Rx Laughter, the Best Medicine travel bug. We have to come up with a good joke or two to put into it before we pass it on. We dropped off the $5 Vegas chip we found at Turbine Hill.
