Fall Update

Yeah well...I have been slacking on my geocache numbers this year so far. Since Fall is my favorite time of year to go geocaching I have a renewed fever. I turned over 800 finds last week and I have a goal to get 900 by March. I thought about making it either 1000 by March or 900 by the end of the year, but geocaching in NE Ohio in the winter is difficult. 
While out on a run I found a unique cache this week in Indiana:

The cache in its hiding spot.
It is on the limb of a tree.

The log is rolled up inside of the nano container

Needless to say, I was rather surprised to see it sitting there. 

On my way home I stopped and grabbed a cache in a cemetery and saw this:

Hopefully they are just waiting for the headstone to be finished and delivered, I can't imagine that the 1880's era makeshift cross will be the only marker.
On a closing note, I figured out a great way to help look for containers...a flashlight! "Yeah so what's the big deal?" you may ask. Well, I use it during the day. It seems to be especially helpful when searching in trees, bushes or just in the woods. Using a flashlight is also nice when the containers are in little hidey-holes. I don't know why it took me so long to think of this, but I look forward to using my flashlight more often.
