(GCWHRW) Summer Fun by R J and SpawnAlley

Went by last night but there was a game in progress so I decided to wait. Woke up earlier than normal this morning and decided I wanted a coffee and some fresh air.

Another one that gave me a lot of trouble. It seems my little Garmin eTrex Legend has a lot of trouble locking onto signals when I get into an area with heavy tree cover. I found the area including following what the hint implies, but I kept loosing signal and when I did manage to lock in on a couple satellites, the GPS would drift around the waypoint by as much as 100 feet while I was standing still. Couldn’t get the accuracy to read below 80 feet at best. Poked around a bit looking for obvious signs of a typical hide but after killing an hour, I gave up and hiked out. Looks like it’ll be time to upgrade units soon. A better GPS with a better antenna will definitely help on this one.

3rd time is a charm. As I suspected this isn’t a micro cache but a 6×6, shallow plastic container. The tall plant growth obscures the hint so walk around by the marker a bit and the hint will jump up and trip you.

Last dropped in Mondo’s Bug Hotel, it appears the cache was muggled sometime between Aug 23rd and Aug 28th.

Retrieved it this morning from the Fountain Park Cache, less than 30 miles from my house. Here it is on the roof of my 96 Dakota.

Need a hint?

The Gen II Dakota Travel bug Jon dropped in CO during the National Meet.

Now I have to figure out where I’m going to drop it. Hmmmmmmm.

Decided to get out of the house for a few hours in the light rain. The hint doesn’t make sense but that could be due to signs of recent excavation work on the trial. It looks like they scraped and widened it a bit as well as some tree removal. Several small piles of cut logs were along the trail. Otherwise, a great hide. Left Dodge “Charger is Back!” wristband, TNSL.

I tried to give this one a shot this evening but with it just about dark and with the light rain, it was making it difficult. Found the momument with no problem, did the math but the GPS was jumping around so I was having some trouble. Think I was within a few feet of the cache but couldn’t locate it. Looking at the other logs, it’s a bit confusing. Is this a micro like listed? I see logs where items were left. I will give this another shot tommorrow in the daylight.

A bunch of DTW members and myself went to the show today.
