Back to the night cache

To wrap up the day, we took my sister, Heather, to the night cache we'd re-hidden a few weeks ago. One person had visited since we hid it, that was cool.

The Midway

Last new cache of the day, also hidden by Lynn & Paul. Short hike from Up Hill's Hill, and then we were able to follow the long trail out of the woods before darkness fell. Picked up my 3rd sand dollar from Marine Currency.

Up Hill's Hill

Some of my favorite hiders have been Lynn & Paul. Their caches are always full of goodies. Found two by them yesterday. First being Up Hill's Hill, which proved to be a very messy, muddy, woodsy hike. Brian actually fell down on his ass into a deep pile of snow at one point.

Dale #2 Billerica

Hit up one that we couldn't find the first time we went caching. This was directly across the street from the Billerica House of Correction. I picked up my second sand dollar left by Marine Currency.

DLY #7 - KWAI

Our first stop yesterday proved unsuccessful. We couldn't find this one, huge bummer. Other people had the same trouble so I'd really like to know where this one was hidden. Its at the start of a very beautiful old trolley trail in Billerica. We parked at the cemetery that's just across the street (also a beautiful spot) and walked over. There are loads of no trespassing signs but there's supposed to be 3 caches hidden in there so I guess it's ok to be there?

Got some photos though, gorgeous spot on a snowy day.

My First Night Cache

Final cache of the day was actually interesting. Brian has been here before, and the last time, he said the cache was missing. We decided to be good cachers and replace it. That meant getting to print out instructions, buying a log book, and filling a container with all kinds of goodies.

This night cache was awesome. You must do it at night because you have to follow the dots on the trees which marks the path. Pretty freakin' cool.


Mexican White House

This one was cool to find, because I just LOVE this restaurant. Casa Blanca along the Chelmsford/Billerica line. (I THINK it's considered Billerica).

Relocated River

Found this cache with bmanc1 - Summer spotted it first. Nicely stocked cache in a pretty little area. Left the geocoin I'd picked up in Chelmsford, along with my vegas dice. Picked up some red beaded bracelets, and Summer picked up a rubber bracelet. She left a guitar pick with her initials.

Final cache of the day - James Bond Series

This one, hidden by Ivachon, was found near the Billerica Water Tower. Almost lost my footing on the icy hill, but I found this one first. :)



DY Daily Fix #1

This one is another that Bmanc1 found first. Well hidden in a light post near Starbucks in Billerica, by barddzen.



Jonathan Archer, Star Trek Tribute #1

This one was a little tough to find, and Bmanc1 found it first. Microcache with a soggy logbook. Originally hidden by bombot57. Container has been swapped and re-hidden in a slightly more difficult spot, according to the logs.



Root of the Problem

Our next find today was Root of the Problem, also by Lynn & Paul. I left the 20 sided die picked up by my brother at the previous cache, and took a little toy racecar.




First find!

Today my brother, Bmanc1 on geocaching.com, took us out for our very first geocaching experience. Brad and I weren't sure what to expect, but we had lots of fun, and can't wait to go out again.

Our first find was The Green Way, hidden by Lynn & Paul. It was fully stocked with goodies. I left a pair of Vegas dice (we have hundreds left from our wedding), and took a small sanddollar left by MarineCurrency.
