FTF Day

Interesting day for FTF's. A new cache published last night in the Sobey's parking lot in Liverpool. I put it in my GPS before i went to bed with the thought of getting it this morning. Vic and i went up and got FTF and i went to log it the cache page said it wasn't published yet. For some reason the took the listing off, i am still going to claim FTF as soon as it gets published again.
Meanwhile in the morning a few more caches published out on Hwy 8 so Vic & i went after those in the PM. We got Ftf on those 2 and went after a few more caches in the Greenfield area we didn't have yet. There was a cache that came out over a month ago GC2WNKQ that hadn't been found yet so we went after that cache. Much to my surprise i found it after only 10 min of searching and got Ftf on that also. That made 4 for today.
Will make a list for Liverpool area for you guys for Sunday and let you know when it was up. More caching tomorrow. great week so far.

Cape sable Island

Vic is off this week so we are doing a little running around. Monday we went up to Cape Sable Island for the day. Vic wanted to visit some beaches we haven't been to before and of course i wanted to get some caches. Ervin's caches along the beaches on Cape Sable Island fit the bill for us both. We had a great day, got 18 caches, walked some nice beaches and got some beach glass. At one cache on South Side Beach 2 fisheries officers stopped and i thought we were in trouble. The female officer got out and said you must be geocaching, she takes her kids caching and has found some of Ervin's before. We only got about half the caches on the island so i guess another trip back is in order.

This morning i was up early (6:15) and noticed a new cache out not far from home. I threw on some clothes and was out the door before 7 and everybody else was still in bed. Got to the site and the co-rds put me right in the middle of the parking area. Searched for about 1/2 hour with no luck and heard a car coming and i knew it had to be Blackrattle. We all searched for another 1/2 hour and no luck. i logged a dnf stating the co-rds placed me at the parking area. The cache owner dissabled the cache right away stating she must have made a mistake in the co-rds, there was a wasted 2 hours. The Blackrattles and me meet quite often early mornings at cache sites. LOL

Me, Myself and I

Yes, that's right, the three of us - Me, Myself and I - all got out for a couple of hours today. I grabbed five caches between Berwick and the west end of Kentville. What a beautiful afternoon weather-wise. In fact, it was a little too warm at times. A sign of things to come with any amount of luck.

Anyway, the caches were all pretty new. I was anywhere from the second to the fourth cacher to sign the log, depending on the cache. A couple of short hikes, one God awful bushwhack and a set of stairs 74 steps long. Only one was anything near a park and grab!

Nice to be out. But it will be more fun on Wednesday with all of us together on Big Tancook! Can't wait!

June 8 /11 -- city caches

Hey my day stared much earlier then planned because Rhonda had thrown out her back so I had to drive her to school and my appointment with audio was not till 11 am. good thing I had all my city caches in my GPS before I went to bed --- I left R at school around 9 am then a bite of breakfast at A&W then into city -- Costco for propane and a few supplies then onto my appointment on Spring Garden Rd --- looking at the map of south End of city I had 10 caches with no smiles other than Point Pleasant Park caches which we should do some day --of the 10 I got 8 and would have gotten the other two but muggles standing right in front of tree where cahes were . Both cahes I made 3 different tries but people , people , people ...... that took me 2 hours then I had to go back to get Rhonda for a 3 pm appointment .... fun quick city caches and all safe to do ......looking forward to Tancook .....

A Visit to Lunenburg

Today we wanted to get out for the day and Jan couldn't decide where she wanted go, so at 12:30 PM I told her that we would go to Lunenburg for a late lunch and a visit to the Bluenose II restoration site - and oh, by the way, I was going to pick up one cache while we were in town!

We had a great lunch overlooking the harbour, I grabbed the Fisherman's Silhouette cache and then we spent an hour learning about the Bluenose II restoration. Really neat, and a great day!

I had already searched a couple of times for Fisherman's Silhouette but found out that it had been muggled and not yet replaced both times! Today I walked right up to it without a GPSr, looked where I always thought it should be right from day 1 and there it was! It really was a quick and easy find - today!

Yes, it was very nice in Lunenburg today. We both enjoy the town of Lunenburg and are already planning our next visit - we would kind of like to take the horse-drawn carriage tour of the town if it's not outrageously expensive....
