GC24XYA Climb the Hill, well the cache name does not lie, it was a climb for sure! I came speeding down the trail and came to a stop and checked the GPSr, all I needed to do was hide the bike on the side of the trail and start the trek up. I got with in a few feet of the cache and started looking around. I found the cache well hid under a tree. So I grabbed the cache signed the log and dropped the City of Eugene Geocoin, and scurried down the hill back to the bike! Next cache I headed to was a cache I tryed to get before but could not find it...
GC1XJ20 SS#2 Keychain Cache was a very tricky cache, I pulled over to the side of the trail and checked the GPSr it was pointing 400 feet directly into the woods, so I hid the bike and trekked into the woods, only a few feet into the woods the arrow did a 180 and was pointing across the path into some more woods, I knew this could not be right so I kept on walking, the arrow turned around and started to point off to the left. So I followed it, further and further into the woods. I finally came with in twenty feet of the cache, now it was time to start looking. I searched high and low for this cache, I turned up nothing! I whipped out the iPhone to check for a hint... no hint! So I checked recent logs, yes ynds a fellow Saint John cacher had left a hint. I quickly found the cache a little bit further away but I got it, the updated coords were much better than last times, but not the best! So I looked down the hill to the trail, there was a few hikers hiking by, so I scurried down to the trail, only to find that I had ventured much farther from the bike than expected! 400 feet turned into 1000 feet!
So I ran all the way down the hill grabbed my bike and biked back up the hill! Darn GPSr making me do more work than I had to! Oh well the next geocache I went and found was much easier...
GC24YVV Visitors Welcome, was a nice easy cache on Lily Lake just a few feet off a path! I approached this cache not from Lily Lake but from a small biking trail that was up on top of a cliff over looking the lake.
It was such a nice view of the lake and the cache was very easy to find and log! From there I headed out to the last cache in Rockwood Park, so I headed to the car to put the bike back on the car, beucase to get this cache I needed to leave the park and enter through another way!
GCNXK5 Overlook the Ball Field, so I headed up through some walking path tube into Rockwood Park. To find a massive waterfall.
I walked over the small bridge and further up the trail to reveal more and more of a view! Once I hit a certian point in the trail the GPSr was pointing up a hill, so I turned up and started walking up the hill, the hill was full of trash, but I forgot a garbage bag to CITO. I finally found the cache, and this cache has aged a bit, I was one hundred and first finder for this cache, but the cache did offer a beutiful view of the city.
So after finding the cache I headed back down to the trail and filmed this little bit of video for you guys to see!
So after this cache my trip to Rockwood Park was over and I was heading home!
