Instead of a bike ride this morning, I talked Karen into hiking in Sycamore Grove to find 3 caches before the rain started.
Shady Grove Junction is in an area well known to us, since we’ve often hiked there. The camo’d container fooled Karen, but in all fairness, this was her first geocaching expedition. Still, it didn’t take long to find it.
Frosty Freeze was just a little farther along the trail. It was pretty easy to spot it, but retrieving it was a bit more of a challenge. Karen got a photo of me making the attempt, but I guess I’ll not show it.
Viewpoint is in one of the farthest corners of the park (and one of the highest elevations). It is truly a viewpoint. We spent 40 minutes looking, but failed to find it.
I spent far too much time trying to figure out how to get to a hole in the 15ft high cliff nearby. Finally made an approach where I could lay down and hang my head over, only to discover that the hole was empty. The last logged find was July 1. A return trip is definitely warranted.
