Yuki's Bambi

Bear cache in Amesbury Town Forest with zugbug and Cody.

My owner, her neighbor and I had another geocaching adventure today. I like these walks in the woods because Yuki lets me run free off leash. It took her about 30 minutes to find the cache today because she forgot to download the coordinates ahead of time. That's ok because it gave me more time to sniff all the new scents. At one point I heard her mumbling something about all the fallen trees as she tried to figure out which one the cache was hidden under. I guess her GPS is only accurate to 25' and there were a lot of fallen trees in that 25' radius. Anyhow, she remembered to bring some trinkets with her today to put in the cache. She took the blue robot toy and left a PEZ dog with a Santa hat. I think she is having as much fun as I am on these adventures! I also wanted to report that there is a lot of tick activity in this area this time of year (there were 26 ticks on me after the walk).

My owner and I enjoyed our stroll through Woodsom Farm on our first solo geocache. It took Yuki awhile to get accustomed to the eTrex GPS -- it was a little "jumpy" due to the tree cover -- but perseverance prevailed. I had a lot of fun running free in the fields and through the woods while Yuki poked around looking for the geocache. After she finally found it, signed the log box and took the travel bug she realized that she forgot to bring something along to put into the geocache box. I came to her rescue and offered up my favorite tennis ball for the cache. I hope whoever takes the tennis ball enjoys playing with it as much as I have.

This was my first geocache. My friends Robin and Richard invited me to go bike riding today with them to find this cache. I had no idea of what I was about to get involved in. What fun and adventure I had today!
