The "Traveling" Cache Kids!

This week we visited our family back home in Macomb county Michigan and we brought along a first timer. New to geocaching was the girls grandfather. We've experienced plenty of geocaching locations and cemeteries are amongst them. We visited a nearby spot that was rumored to have a trackable so we grabbed our gear and headed back out for an afternoon of fun. Before we hit the road, we all decided to give a couple of local hides a shot. Unfortunatley, we started out with 2 DNF's on the first two caches of the day, but that was to be expected since they were both listed as level 3 hides. 

The "witches ball" was true to form and it was a great spot and an equally nice hide. Still rookies we are, we stumbled on to the spot, but didn't use our eyes initially. It took a few extra moments searching only to bring us back to the original coordinates. I have to learn to trust the GPS more intuitively. Terrain was challenging but that's what made it fun! 

Inside was our second trackable attached to a traveler nicknamed "Bella"! We quickly snatched it up and decided to keep her moving since the goal was to visit as many places as possible. Part of this particular cache was to locate and take a picture with a unique and spiritual tombstone nicknamed the "Witches Ball" We also dropped off our first trackable called "Myllo's dog tags" here and logged it online. 

We all finished the day off with a quick find down the bike path near Richmond, MI. After a 1/2 mile walk down the path from where we parked the truck we found the spot with no trouble. The cache needed some maintenance since the contents were soaking wet. The girls replaced the log book and placed it into a new ziplock bag and sealed it away. Part of the job as seekers is to lend a helping hand whenever possible, so after we relocated the cache we logged for the owner to make the necessary fixes. 

Can't wait to see where Bella travels to next!!!
