Shiny Baubles and The Snake

How about a nice facelift too?
If you've ever gone to Black Hawk via Highway 6, you may have seen Shiny Baubles Geocache (GC11V7F) as that small decorated "Christmas tree" on the right just beyond Mile Marker 3 (headed to Black Hawk).  
If you are a Geocacher, you might have even wondered if this was a Geocache?
Yep, it was placed there April 1, 2007, and today September 1, 2012, it got a new outfit and great facelift! 
Curious about it, a few weeks ago, I looked it up and read the posts from Geocachers who have had fun with this one over the years, but entwined was a gentle undertone that the shiny baubles were no longer shiny.  
Suddenly, I had a brainstorm!  
Tucked away in a dresser drawer since 2003, was a plastic bag full of shiny necklaces that I had collected from the Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa, Florida. 
I would bring that cache back to life by adding all my Gasparilla necklaces!
By sharing, more could enjoy my necklace treasure!  
So, today hubby and I headed up to Shiny Baubles with the necklaces and a few of my polished stones that I like to leave everywhere.  
Before you scroll to the pictures, I have to tell you about the snake...  
We didn't find the cache although now that I'm posting the photos, I suspect I took a great big picture of it with new necklaces all around it... (Look)  (It's a micro)
But about the snake...  Hubby walked about 15 feet from the tree looking for the Geocache when suddenly he yells, "Snake!"  
He and the 10-inch snake had a stare down while I continued decorating the area with all the necklaces.  He says it wasn't like that, but the fact remains that he did not take one step away from that snake the entire time I was busy with the tree.

New look for an old cache!

There's a cache there somewhere!

I got a little carried away...  LOL

Hope you can see these from the road...

New necklaces make old baubles pretty!

Some Baubles have hit the dust.

I dropped off some of my polished "Thank-you" stones under this rock.
NOT part of the Geocache.

Is that It????

Take Care on the Journey,
