6.14.09 Trek



This was an exciting trek for us. We began the day by running into a road block. Our first cache/waypoint to us to a tall lamp post in the middle of a parking lot. Of course it was to big to load into the car ; )


Next, we headed to the Andover Sports Park which contain two large caches. The first cache was located in a ammo box in the fork of a large tree. This cache took some searching because it was about 20 feet off of the way point and surrounded by hedge row trees.

The last caches was a fun and interesting walk alone a old railroad bed. We took a break on a small bridge watching some turtles and throwing rock into the water. After a short break we climbed down the old railroad bed and located a great cache with a our first cash cache...a dollar coin.

On our way back to the car we decided to leave our own cache in the crook of a large tree. We plan on posting its location on www.geocaching.com soon.

Already tired, we decided to continue on to check out a few more caches. the next one was locate behind a cemetery in a ceder tree. Of course, like all evergreen caches, not only did we leave with a prize, but we also left sticky from the sap.

Our final stop was at a local Wichita fishing spot usually full of locals trying to catch bass and catfish. We found one wet and somewhat disappointing Christmas cache. We will probably go back in the future and see if we can find the two caches that we missed.
