Monday: Day 22 - Mosquitos were so bad they almost carried off Truffle.
Mark: Out in Waconia again, this time with Truffle and before Kris' chiro appointment we decided to grab our cache of the day. Kris: Yikes the mosquitos were vicious! It was a short walk into the woods followed by a quick signature and carrying little Truffle briskly back OUT of the woods.
Tuesday: Day 23 - Woof, Woof, Woof.
Mark: This was a quick grab on our way out to a Fajita cruise on Lake Minnetonka. Kris: Cute little park with this pretty walk through area. The cache had a super cute name and very fitting for the item it was stuck to :)
Wednesday: Day 24 - Shhhhhhh.... People sleeping.
Mark: This cache was a direct result of one of visiting one of the stages for Golden Valley History cache. Great example of a quick fun multi-cache. Kris: Bleh!! I never do like cemetery caches but luckily this multi didn't actually make you go in the cemetery. You had to use information from within the cemetery but could stay on the outside of the fence.
Thursday: Day 25 - Coffee and a Cache, and yes Kris is throwing her gangster signs for 25.
Mark: After stopping for coffee in the morning we decided to get our cache of the day out of the way early. Kris: OK walking closer to GZ it was obvious that it had to somehow be ON this bridge but the GPS was jumping all over the place within 20ft of either end of the bridge. By reading some of the prior logs, we were able to narrow our search to a particular feature on the bridge to make the find. One muggle did come by as Mark was under the bridge so he sat like a silent troll while I politely said "good morning" and made it look like I was just hanging out enjoying my morning coffee ;) Oh, and this was our Day 25 find, hence the gangsta signs.
Friday: Day 26 - Found it as the light was fading fast.
Mark: This was supposed to be a quick find on the way to the store, but by the picture you can see we were running out of light. Can you see Kris in the pic? Kris: This is a little less accessible in the summer since there is a lot of tall brush and potentially hidden poison ivy (I'm a little paranoid...) but we found a sort of path in to near the cache location. There were a few muggles on the trail so I tried to hide as best I could ;)
Saturday: Day 27 - 13 Stages later we found "someones" stash.
Mark: After almost two weeks of visiting the various stages and figuring out the final location we finally made the find. A very long multi but also very fun! Kris: This was a fun multi for history buffs since it made you find a lot of historical places around Golden Valley that you would otherwise drive right by. The final stage was obviously "found" by a critter who packed the cache location full of their winter stash. Yes folks, we did put it all back before we left.
Sunday: Day 28 - 591 steps, good grief! At least we made the find!
Mark: One of our stops during our Labor Day weekend State Park Safari challenge road trip. The trip to and from the cache is what made it our cache of the day. Kris: Holy flip that was one hell of a climb! I suppose when the sign at the bottom says "difficult, one hour, 450 elevation" we should have had a pretty good idea of what we were getting into. Cache we were after is called "Timberrr!" so we knew what we were looking for. A long climb and short hike brought us right to the big beacon lining the path.
