Some Quick Finds
|
|
Yes, you guessed it. After seeing another post on the Facebook page we decided to go look for the first cache on the list. We ran into 2 other cachers while we were retrieving the first one as well. It was nice bumping into them right at the same time we were looking for it. We chatted for a bit and traded a few stories and then we moved on to look for a few more.
Here are the logs for the caches we found today:
Decided to try for a few more finds today - this was #1 of the day - pulled up and right behind us, another car arrives

Sunken Meadow and Kings Park Psych
|
|
We saw another post of the Facebok page and put this geocache on the radar to find today. It brought us out to a park with some more geocaches and the neighboring property, the former Kings Park Psych Center so we walked around while the weather was still cooperating. We did get a little wet due to the snow showers, but all was good and successful.
Here are the logs for the geocaches we found today:
Saw this on a FB post and had to check it out - interesting - great view on hike to site! TFTC!
While in the neighborhood doing a little caching, hiked over to find this one! TFTC!
First visit to the area - walked around a bit to check out the buildings - saw some kids climbing out of a window of one .. hmmmm! TFTC!

Happy New Year 2015

We are celebrating the new year by going out to find a few geocaches. We saw a note on the local Facebook page so we set our GPSr and headed out to locate it. We found a few more that were nearby as well.
Here are the logs for the geocaches we found:
figured this was a great cache to start the new year, after seeing a note on our LI Geo FB page! we came prepared - boots, walking sticks! the coordinates were showing off and "team"mate abandoned the hint so some bushwhacking ensued - finally convinced him to go back and voila - there it was! TFTC

Our trip for Shopping
|

We have a favorite camping store in New Jersey and it is only open during the week and on Saturday. So whenever we get a chance and we need to do some shopping, we head out to go here. We wrapped up the shopping by looking for a few geocaches around the neighborhood.
Here are the logs for the caches we found:
Team Harpo was in New Jersey today doing a little Camping shopping. We did not bring our GPS but used the phone app to look for a few before heading back to NY.
We found this relatively quickly and we signed the look and took nothing and left nothing. Thanks for the cache, cheers.

Camping with our Troop

While we were out camping with the troop, we found a couple geocaches since we were near. One is right at the entrance to camp so we had to “find” it. It was a great camping weekend and a nice hike as well.
Here are the logs of the geocaches we found:
GNYC: Treasures of Scouting: Action! Boy Scouts
Team Harpo was camping with our troop this weekend and we located this. Actually a fellow geocacher in our troop pointed us in the right direction.
We signed the log and took nothing and left nothing. Thanks for the cache, cheers.

Utah, Yellowstone, and Colorado
|
|
This is our big trip. We are celebrating 20 years married and we planned this trip to Yellowstone as well as visiting a few family members along the way in Salt Lake City and Cheyenne, Wyoming. We started the trip in Salt Lake City, Utah and spent a few days there and then we travelled up through Idaho, a piece of Montana and into Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. We had a great time spending 3 nights in the park and we saw 2 grizzly bears, a few wolves, coyotes, bison and numerous birds. We then went to the Grand Tetons and stayed in Jackson Hole. We then made the long journey across Wyoming to Cheyenne where we stayed the night. The next day we stopped in Denver Colorado before flying back to New York. It was a great trip that we will remember for a long time.
We found geocaches in 5 different states on this trip and we will not forget these as well.
Here are the logs of the finds:
September 15
If you build it they will come!
This is Team Harpo's first visit to Utah and this is the first Geocache that we have found in this state.
After going over to Antelope Island and checking out the Great Salt Lake, we ate dinner and looked for this cache. We found this cache easily enough but the log is full and we just checked to see if we could sign it. We put it back in its hiding spot and went back to our lodging.
Thanks for the cache, cheers.

Oquirrh Park Invasion by Reed Mapper&TellFamily 1
Team Harpo is visiting Utah and on the way to the Copper Mine we noticed the sign for the Olympic Oval. On the return trip back to Ogden, we made a detour to check out the oval. Lucky for us there is a cache here for us to find and log. We located ground zero and although it was off slightly we looked around to the most likely hiding spot. We located the cache and signed the log (which is completely full now) and then we put it back. This is the 2nd cache we have located while staying here in Utah.
On to Idaho tomorrow, cheers!

Well sad to say we found it - well we found what was left of it - we too searched where it should have been and nothing but while meandering around nearby - the first piece appeared and then another and another! The cache apparently met its demise via the lawnmower ......... We will post a maintenance note for the owner advising that they need to put a new container out! Nice area though - we couldn't get there from here so had to go that way LOL....... TeamHarpo
