LEGO My Eggo

Picture for the prior post-
Has the let your fingers do the walking symbol and all.

Olympia Washington, Priest Point Park.
Nice park with large old growth trees and waterfront. The trackables are pictured with the Capitol in the distance. This cache was a Tupperware container under some driftwood. It’s off to the left and about 75’ behind me.

This is one of my own cache hides. Came by to leave a new logbook and the trackables wanted their picture taken with it. The host is that
4”x 6” PT post that I concreted in the ground. I cut out a secret cavity near the top, attached a door over it and then covered it all with that circle thermometer. It’s pretty cool, even if I do say so myself. I’m currently building my biggest, grandest and most expensive creation. I’ll hide it at a church in the near future. If you happen to be near Olympia someday, come find my hides and leave some more trackables in the larger ones.

I started this game just over a year ago and was surprised as to the shear number of caches hidden all around me. Just in the tri-city area around my home, the caches must number in the hundreds! I’m gradually working on finding every single one of them! My hometown map is now a sea of happy faces in the Olympia area. What happens if you find all of them within a region? Does it form one massive happy face?!
I still have a little ways to go to find out. Today I’m one step closer. Found another cache near my home in Olympia. It had many DNFs, so I had put it off. However, the trackables and I found it within 15 seconds. The green dots around me are losing ground fast. The menace is the dreaded blue and orange dots.
This cache was a nicely sealed container hidden within a cavity at the base of a tree. It’s camouflage was perfect for the spot. Oddly enough mine was the only signature on the log. I’m a new FTF of sorts! It had some nice swag for kids, but that part of the game is not for me.

Not real far from my home of 30 years, just behind the Lacey Washington Post Office-
The trackables and I went to a pleasant older neighborhood which has been there for as long as I can remember. It has a nice community park with a Geocache that I found today. There is no trace, no remnants, no clue of anything else that ever transpired there. There is nothing special at all about the houses, the park, the surroundings, or the cache (which was a container hidden on the ground, next to a small commemorative plaque on a little podium. It was by some bushes pictured below). The area was all just run of the mill. Or so I thought until I read the plaque….Turns out, that Once Upon a time…long, long ago, in fact many decades before I was even born! (And I’m not a Spring chicken) there was a giant horse race track here! It was quite the place and people would come from all over the Northwest to gamble. All of those people are long since dead and gone. I never would have known anything about that or the rest of the story had it not been for the Geocache that brought me here. One of the many things I like about this game.
