The Smallest Nano Cache We've Found!

We had to drop off some more papers at the bank for the loan on our 'new' house, so of course I had to find geocaches nearby. (The bank says we're APPROVED!!!!)

 Our GPS indicated we could head toward a pretty city park a couple blocks away.

Early on, we figured it was on this bench. But we looked and looked. I'm surprised someone didn't call the police because hubby even got on his back under the bench looking for this 'nano cache'.

Finally, I spotted it!!!!  Here's a photo of it under the bench, in a crack on the side. It is a magnet that unscrews so you can get to the paper log rolled up inside.

We knew it was somewhere on the bench because the hint said to "sit on the bench and look at the bell tower'.  But, it is surely just about the smallest one they make.

(Jim's sun glasses on the sidewalk look small in this photo!)

There's the rolled up 'log', but we didn't pull it out.
It takes tweezers that we didn't have with us.
And, I didn't believe we could put it back!

The hint said to 'sit on the bench', so I did.

Don't forget the little things!

Four Seasons

As I did a little geocaching on a beautiful, balmy, Denver afternoon, I stopped to photograph this loaded apple tree. No apples yet, but check back in a few months for the delicious ending.

Oh yes, about this particular geocache...I walked past the sign several times looking for the 'cache'.

(It's in a small plastic bag behind the sign.)

Happy Geocaching!

A Sign About Nothing

For some reason, sometimes I just can't get the gist of my GPS and get confused if I'm suppose to go right or left.  I run (or drive) around in circles while I drive (or walk) right by the geocache I'm looking for again and again! It happened with this one.  I WAS looking for a "sign about nothing', but it was a little further down the road than I expected.

Here's a photo of the "sign about nothing."

Too Cute!

...and a very unique 'cache' sits quietly since 2007
at the bottom of the 'sign about nothing'.
ha ha

Heavenly View #43 - Victory Church

(I don't name these caches. This is the official name given by the geocacher who placed them.)

A beautiful apple tree, full of pink and white blossoms stood next to this cache. (Hidden at the bottom of a light pole in the parking lot.)  I plucked a blossom and put it into the little medicine container that held the log.

This is what I posted on the website for this cache: 

As the sun sets on this Friday evening, many people worldwide are starting to celebrate the Sabbath day. Others are waiting in long lines at Olive Garden or other fine restaurants. I'm enjoying another geocaching experience!. This one right next to a beautiful apple tree full of pink and white blossoms. I put a tiny blossom into the cache container. I'll post a photo of the blossoms on the apple tree. TFTC

Happy Sabbath and Happy Geocaching

Collar ID #4 PS

(I lost a photo in my first posting of this cache)

One more geocache on my way home from the grocery store.

...Where I saved LOTS of money using COUPONS.

You be right if you guessed this one is located behind a vet's office. (See title) 

Such a cute little cache container attached to the inside of this prickly pine tree.

After walking all around the tree and searching under it, I decided it's in the branches...



You can't see him well in this photo, but a little bunny rabbit was watching me.

It's the small container below the silver spot.
It held a tiny log to sign and replace.

Happy Geocaching!

Mondo's Red Rocks

Hubby and I went for a ride up to the Golden Mountain and took the long way home on Highway 93 between Boulder and Denver because of rush-hour traffic on Highway 25.  While driving, I had the GPS turned on for nearby geocaches.

We decided to find one called Mondo's Red Rocks expecting to see it near the usual formidable red rock formation filling the skyline.  As got closer, we didn't see any red rocks - big or little.  We had trouble following the GPS because it kept losing the signal.  But, once on a trail, we don't give up.

We always enjoy the wind turbines, but today we were looking for a geocache.

The cold, wet, wind was howling around us as we got out of the car to follow the signal down an embankment towards a field.  Click on the photo for a close up of the turbine wind farm in the distance.  Yep, that's our car way up there.

The Red Rock Geocache is around here someplace!

GPS says we're close to the cache, but not quite there. Do we have to climb over the fence?

Ha ha ha.  Look down Linda!

 

Don't step on it!



Success!!! Hurry up and sign the log. I'm COLD.

Hobo Something

Yesterday I spent about four hours on the road going to a job interview for a RN House Supervisor position that I didn't want. But, it's a long story. Sometimes it's about politics...I went for that interview because I DO want an Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) position that I applied for that is about five miles from home.

Not that I'm quitting my current job, but the charge nurse position is being eliminated, and my company is helping me find another RN job at a sister facility. (That's the long story part.)

So, on the way home, I 'looked' for geocaches in that part of town.  I wrote down the name on a piece of paper, but can't find the paper, so I'm naming this one Hobo because I think that was part of the name.  (Okay, I'm babbling...)

This is the first I've found that looks like this. 

Yep, it's a 'geo rock'!!!

So next time, trust my GPS!

The GPS said I was walking right past the cache when I took this picture.

But, of course, I didn't believe it.

I walked on and got two inches of mud on my shoes!



What looks slightly out of place?

Happy Geocaching!
