Geocache Description:

O/K lets go find Geonana ... Uh-oh ... She's not where we thought she would be!!!


Charly's found - now Geonana's lost!!!


This adventure in Ministik just gets better and better.

If you've looked at "GC11XDT - Lost Charly", then you know half of the story of the faithful trip, that started on th... (oops digressing to Gilligans Island ... sorry). Anyways, once we found Charly and planted a cache to commemorate losing then finding her and then making it to the firetower, we set out to reunite Charly with Geonana. Well the cell coverage out here is terrible but we did connect and thought we knew where we would find Geonana.

A few hundred (or maybe it was a thousand) meters down a decent trail, we're looking for Geonana ... maybe just around the bend ... she's waiting for us at the lake ... egad which lake as there are probably 10 or 20 lakes / ponds in the area. Adding to our worry was the fact that we had Geonana's GPSr as were following her prior weeks track log so she was going to a location to meet us strictly from memory!! Still no Nana ... we were all convinced that now Geonana is lost ... and hey whats this thing in my backpack ... another stocked cache ... what better way to commemorate (not that we were celebrating losing Geonana - we knew we would find her .... eventually) the occasion than with another cache?

We find a suitable hiding spot then continue meandering down the trail and across frozen ponds / lakes and off in the distance we see a dot ...could that be Geonana?? As we get closer, Charly realizes her mama is near and she beelines (as fast as a small dog with short legs can beeline in a foot of snow) to meet her - It was a very happy reunion!

What a great hike this fine sunny day, finding all the caches in the area and getting the opportunity to plant two more including this one.

Happy Hunting!!!
