Another week

It was such a lovely weekend, we had a lot of outside time. C-man and I even found some time in between an ice cream run to find a couple of geocaches. (One tricky little one we found amongst a thousand other rocks is pictured above) We played a lot of backyard HORSE and practiced knocking down stuff with our new catapult. It is always hard to see good weekends end, especially when the forecast is for our house heat to be turned on by the weekend!

Isn't geocaching fun when you find a cahe like that?

I had to archive one of my caches.
It seems that someone was in the woods near my geocache. A couple people mentioned that there was a couple if creepy characters out in the woods near my cache. Someone mentioned something about a meth lab.

I disabled it immediately.
Too bad. It was a nifty cache.
I found some fake moss, put a bison tube hooked to a plastic cow and stuffed it inside. MOSS COW. I called it the Russian Cache. I painted a square tile red and left it nearby in plain sight.

My hint was: When you get to Red square you are almost there.

This is what the cache said.

Comrades…Comrades…Comradettes!!!
May we have your attention please.
Revisionist government history lesson: (wink! wink!!) Russia invented a variation of geocaching back in 1973.
It began when Georgi Krutov escaped from Gulag # 13 in Siberia.
Georgi, or as he liked to be known, "Geo", hid himself in a large plastic container covered with camo tape and leaves. After a lot of searching and swearing in Russian, they found Geo. The guards thought that this was so much fun that they let Geo loose once a week and they would try to catch him. And that my friends, is how geocatching began.
This cache is in honor of Georgi Krutov, who hid himself so well that they are still looking for him. He is somewhere in the Grand Strand. (Cough, cough! wink! wink!)
We hope you enjoy this cache.
We tried to make it interesting and fun but not too difficult. We rated it 2.5 in difficulty.
Let us know if it is too high or too low.

Get out your Garminkov's and your Magellinski's, and start geocaching!

Darn!!!
