Today was an off day from my job working with the Poarch Indian Casino blimp which is masted at the John Edwards National airport. The crew is staying in Foley at a hotel.

HeLIUM Hobo and I have beein eying this cache for over a week it was big enough for stuff to be in and stuff to be placed. Before doing the cacheing thing we stopped for an early lunch at Lambert's where we had some good ribs, and the best potoato and onions I have had in a long time.

Full of good food we continued South over the bridge and then I got lost not having read the directions and description. Tried to go a direct route and wound up in the parking lot of a high school. Read description then looked up the road on my trusty iPhone went back over the multiple speed bumps and was on the way there.

Found the right road and the descriptions started to make sense. We were cooking with gas now. Saw a bunch of cars pulled over along the side of the road and figurede that was the trailhead.

Parked the blimp operations truck alongside the other vehicles and we headed out. I loaned my Garmin Colorado 400t to HeLIUM Hobo and I was using my iPhone with the Geocaching app running. The trail was beautiful, wide, paved, and well maintained lots of beautiful scenery to look at.

Got to GZ and started my Ground Zero dance for this one I found it first but did not make the grab allowing Hobo to find it also. Cache was in great shape dry and all the swag was in great shape. Stamped and dated the log dropped a pair of dice, a pen and grabbed a pen from PWCinPC. After Hobo and I did our thing we replaced as found. We only had the truck for two hours and after lunch a brief stop at Office Depot and the wandering around lost. We did not have time to go after any other caches instead having to hotfoot it home.

Thanks for the cache
