Hick@Hearts FTF prize

Found this one on a lunch walk with a muggle friend of mine. He actually made the find and I think he's afraid to admit he actually enjoyed it. I was first to sign a brand new log and was able to get everything back with no muggle attention.

Wow! This one is only 2464.1mi from my home coordinates!

In town for the week from San Diego. I had dinner at the Indian place up the street and could see ground zero from the window of the restaurant. I love the church across the street. I brought a muggle co worker along for the ride. We enjoyed the find.

This is my first cache that I've found outside of my home state of California. What a nice one it was. I'm staying at the Courtyard in Hadley for a bit while on some business travel. This was the closest cache to the hotel and I needed a walk. I walked a mile to WalMart and to the cache from there.
I finally figured out how to unlock the log book. This would have been one time that it would have been nice to forget my pen. It would have saved me some time!

Not one person passed by while I signed the log and put everything back in place. Thanks for the nice sized hide and the nice walk. Now it's back to California.

There were a lot more signatures than just the one from Kwvers. I know the Simpsons were there today too. I'm surprised that some muggle would spot that, it's nicely hidden. I stopped by on my lunch break, but didn't eat here. Have you tried the Samson Steak Sandwich. If you have lunch or dinner at the diner, that's my suggestion. The sliders are good too. I wanted to drop of a geocoin but it just wouldn't fit. Thanks for the hide and thank you, Kwvers, for being so prepared with a back up container. I'll give you an honorable mention on this weeks blog post.

Didn't find it Hick@Heart couldn't find The Old Swimming Hole (Traditional Cache)

Go ahead and add me to the long list of people that took the wrong trail and the short list that came up empty. I missed the switchback that gets you on the right trail. (No big deal, I've done that at 10,000 feet.) After a not so short walk on the wrong side I got on the right "trail". I never got closer than 25 feet. I figured when it said "No need to leave the trail" that meant I didn't need to go down "there". I guess I was wrong??? It was 95 degrees out and I didn't feel like falling down a hill. This was my 3rd DNF in a row and it helped me decide to just get home sit under the fan.
