Our First Canoe Cache!!!!



We headed out to A.H. Stephens State Park on my birthday (9-11) to spend the day placing caches. We had a great time eating at the local Bar-B-Q joint and talking plenty of cache with a new local cacher doing a movie series in the great little city.

We wanted to place a cache that would be a bit more difficult than most of all the others caches we have placed.  After the canal event just a few months before, SQRT also wanted to do a bit of canoeing that she missed.

Well this one was a doozie for us to place.  After navigating in a zig-zag route to get to the cache location, we finally got to the band.  About the time I put my foot on the bank, something moved in the grass.  Of course SQRT's first reaction is

"GATOR!?" 

I threw a stick in the tall grass and nothing moved.  So I figured all was clear.
So I grabbed my weapon, I mean ore, and proceeded to find a good location.  SQRT got out to join me and we looked for a good place for the cache.  After hunting for about 20 minutes, we make a good place for the cache.
