Number 100!


On a recent trip to Emmett, Michigan where my family and I were camping at a nearby KOA campground, my "Cache Kids" and I stopped by to snag another milestone geocache. I searched out a few unique caches in the area before we left the campground and we came upon this heavily favorited cache to make it our 100th geocache. It didn't disappoint! The hide was a small pill bottle attached to a cylinder cap, then screwed into the spout of the decorated container you see in the photo above. The container was a replica of a "Duff" beer can made famous from the Simpson's cartoon. We all had a terrific day to mark our most memorable find to date.

In early August I attempted to locate one geocache per day, however the logistics behind such a feat is quite difficult. A quick stop to find a smiley can be challenging to say the least. Long days at work with limited places with a geocache along my route home are just some of the impeadments. I did get up to 7 days in a row before my goal was halted by the dusk of the night, which comes earlier each passing day of the summer. I've found solace in creating and maintianing my hides during this time. I now have 7 hides now. My most recent location is at the infamous "Hack House" in historic Milan, Michigan.

Inventive geocache. Log was inside the bolt and attached to a guardrail.

First find with my Brother and his son. This was in Kentucky.
