Geocaching Logs from 10-18-09

=== 2009-10-18 ===========================================================================

FireRef (Found it) GC1FAMG - Nanda Panda Bear's TB Motel and Restaurant (1.5/1.5) by Grandma Nan
This was 1 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We stopped here pretty quickly and found the cache pretty quickly as well. This was difficult to get the lid back on because it was so full of TB's, and I just didn't feel like trying to move any at this point since we were working for numbers today. Thanks for putting this one out and adding to our numbers for the day!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCRE2Y - La Grange (1.5/1.5) by ScouterMark
This was 2 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This one took a few minutes - FFKid was doing some driving with his permit, and we parked nearby and then headed over to look. I spotted this one after a few minutes - I always have trouble with ones like this on military monuments (and bridge caches... I have problems with those too!) because there's just so many places they can be found. Thanks for bringing us here and adding to our total!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1YY98 - Who Was Joseph Morgan? (1.5/1.5) by ace-357
This was 3 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was one of the first caches that FFKid and I decided to try working on specific jobs - I went back to the car after we both made the discovery while he was writing our names, and got the maps ready for the next cache on our run. This would have worked much better if FFKid had a functional pen! After he retrieved another one, we got the log signed and headed on to the next one. Thanks for putting this out and bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1YY5W - Cobblestone (1.5/1) by ace-357
This was 4 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We stopped for this one and hunted a while, but were thrown a little off by the previous log entries - some seemed to indicate to look somewhere it wasn't. We found it after a few minutes, took care of the log, and headed out - very well done cache.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1ERBH - Mission Control (2/1.5) by Teenykins
This was 5 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We found this one relatively quickly - within a few seconds of getting to the right place. What was funny was that as soon as FFKid said "don't let the log blow away", the wind caught it and I ended up chasing it up the driveway for almost a city block. FFKid stood there laughing the entire time - I almost ran into the gate also, because I managed to look up just before I would have run into it. Thanks for the cache and the exercise!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCKH9P - Tennis Anyone? (2/1) by stashseekers
This was 6 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick, easy find, which is more than I expected from reading the description. FFKid and I got it and filled out the log, and then headed off to do the nearby one on the road. FFKid mentioned how hard it is to play tennis, and I explained it isn't that difficult- you just have to think of the racket as an extension of your hand, similar to any sport with a stick type object - like lacrosse or baseball. On to the next one! Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1TX54 - RIT Small Backroad Cache (1.5/1) by Badger61
This was 7 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We started out looking where we thought this one would be, and then after a few minutes of not finding it in the obvious places, we widened our search (which actually took us to GZ), and found it after a few minutes. FFKid found this one. Thanks for bringing us here. A former student/basketball player goes to this school - I tried to contact him through Facebook to let him know I was in the area, but never heard anything back. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1ZCQV - Southtown - Winter Quarters (1/1) by amerkfan
This was 8 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick easy find in the middle of a parking lot. FFKid took care of this one while I was looking ahead to see where we were headed next. Thanks for bringing us here. Wish we could have found the one on the sign nearby, but that just wasn't in the cards (and we didn't spend as much time as we could have on it either.) Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCM3QT - Do NOT Find This Cache!! (Adopted By:KraftyCacher) (1/1.5) by KraftyCacher
This was 9 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was hard to resist - because we were looking for numbers - so it did call to me and make me want to find it. Thanks for bringing us here. FFKid made the find and we signed the log and moved on. I don't know if I am addicted, but we did try to get 1800 today and managed to for me. Thanks for putting this one out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1G0X9 - Rio's Geo[Cache] (1/1) by SkiBug5
This was 10 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick cache and dash, but was funny because while FFKid sat in the car, I made the find and signed the log, but there was a muggle standing nearby smoking. He offered me his cell phone to use if I needed it, thinking I was there to make a call. I thanked him, told him I was on a scavenger hunt, and we moved on. Thanks for bringing us here and putting this cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1596R - Shall We Dance ? (1.5/1) by Mebbe
This was 11 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was another quick cache and dash in the same plaza as the last one we did - we almost left the parking lot before I realized it was in the same lot, so we headed over. FFKid made the grab, signed the log for us, and we headed on. After this one showed up on my facebook page (from the Twitter logging thing from field notes), I got some funny messages from people telling me they didn't want to dance with me. Thanks for bringing us here and for putting the cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1RN2N - Eye C U (1/1) by SkiBug5
This was 12 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find in a parking lot. I thought the case was cool, because of the theme of the cache. As the day wore on, I saw a couple more of these containers at various caches. We seem to have a lot of pill bottles in my area (Erie, Pa), because of an older lady who puts a lot of caches out and uses her empty medicine bottles, so I wonder if this is the same kind of thing. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCM7T6 - Change of Knickers- Rochester Visitor’s Info South (1.5/1.5) by Chemist Kahuna
This was 13 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find for FFKid, but took a few minutes total because I was distracted by the container on the lightpole which doesn't seem to be related to the cache at all. I searched through the cache page for hints that would allow me to open it, but after a few minutes, FFKid came over, and started looking around, and then found the container quickly. Thanks for bringing us here and putting this out! On to the next one...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1W61D - Micro Mike 104 "JOE" (1/1) by amerkfan
This was 14 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick, easy find for me, with FFKid getting set up in the car to go to the next one. I don't usually find containers this large in these kinds of locations, so it was nice not to just find another filmcan. Thanks for putting this here. After signing the log and getting back into the car, FFKid, who is still working on his learner's permit, had a little confusion with gas and brake (or was it forward and reverse), and almost hit a short parked bus that was near the cache. No harm, no foul. He did tell me the story of another junior firefighter who managed to confuse brake and gas, and almost ran into a parked car in the space ahead of him when pulling into another space - the joys of learner's permits - haha!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCJ651 - Off Your Rocker in Rochester (2.5/1.5) by OurWoods
This was 15 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a cache which took a few minutes. There were muggles all around, coming and going for the store and restaurant, but we pretty much ignored them and checked out all of the equipment and materials in the area, and I came up with the find. There was an odd machine there that I wasn't really sure what it did - looked like it was for boiling something maybe and separating something maybe, but we were more concerned with finding the cache than trying to figure out what it did. Thanks for bringing us here. I remember eating at some of these, but not very often. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1GJTR - Rio's Geo[Cache] Three (1/1) by SkiBug5
This was 16 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a find I pretty much did on my own, because there was some kind of a bridal show in the building nearby, and constant people and traffic, so instead of parking near GZ, FFKid just kind of drove around the parking lot until I came up with the find, signed the log, and was ready to get going. Thanks for putting this here - I expected a much smaller container considering this series, and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1C462 - Henrietta Brown 1812 (2/1.5) by EarthDawg
This was 17 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find, for one of us. FFKid pulled a common trick that him and some friends like to do when we go caching - if he finds the cache, he wanders off and signs the log for everyone, and then when we're ready to give up, unless I manage to find it, he mentions that he already found it. I got burned by this a bunch of times when we went before. He tends to wander away from GZ looking a lot of different places, so it doesn't seem odd when he wanders off. The sad thing this time is that he found it, said out loud that he found it, but since I had wandered away in another direction, I didn't hear him, so he decided to mess with me, wandered the other way, and took care of the log. When I saw him, I figured he was texting someone, so I didn't think he had found it. He got me good! Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1AXYE - Furple's Cache & Dash (1/1.5) by amerkfan
This was 18 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find that I made - I didn't expect to find it that easily, and I expected a little bigger container, but its all good. FFKid and I discussed the run-down hotel nearby and joked a little about it while we were finding out way out of the parking lot. Looks like someone did some CITOing in this area because every tree had a full garbage bag near the base, and these are like 15 feet apart, so good job! Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1R0N7 - Going to see ol' Grandpa G (1.5/1.5) by Dr Foreman
This was 19 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a nice little cemetery that we checked out and found the cache pretty quickly. Thanks for bringing us here. We ended up parking across the street in a short little driveway (we stopped well before the private property sign), so I helped FFKid get backed out of the driveway. Because of doing this for firetrucks and ambulances, we both know what we're doing with this kind of thing. Thanks for bringing us here and for putting this one out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC18DQA - Net, Set, Goal! (2.5/1.5) by I_Wuz_Lost
This was 20 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find that FFKid picked up without too much trouble. He thought the picnic table looked a little weird but I explained why it had the projection off the one end. Doesn't seem like it would be too easy for someone in a wheelchair to get down to this area, but that's ok. I had some trouble finding it because I found a really good spot for it, but it wasn't there. Guess my geosense wasn't very on today - haha. Thanks for bringing us here and for putting it out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC17131 - The Family Plot (1.5/1) by I_Wuz_Lost
This was 21 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find in a small, out of the way cemetery. I thought it was funny that it wasn't marked in any way, and there had to be a path cut through the corn field to get to the cemetery area. A path about 4-5 stalks wide was cut through the area as a path to go to the back. We found the cache quickly (I made the find), and thought it was nice that it was a completely new one. Well stocked, and halloween theme for sure! Thanks for bringing us here and for putting this one out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1H60M - Small Fry (1/1) by bcbushwackers
This was 22 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find, once we got into the right parking lot. I was a little late in my directions to FFKid for where to turn into. Thanks for bringing us here - it was a quick cache and dash. Part of the problem was that in reading the description, we were looking for it to be at a fast food restaurant, but not quite in this case. Thanks for putting this cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1H610 - Little Duck (1.5/1) by bcbushwackers
This was 23 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a nice little walk, because we couldn't find parking really close to where it was. We walked down the boardwalk, and I thought it was cool that they had a drinking fountain which was for adults, kids, and dogs! I took a photo - I'll probably upload it at some point, but posted it on my Facebook page. Thanks for bringing us here - it was a quick find once we got down to the right place, and it was nice to get out and stretch our legs since we'd been going for a few hours at this point. The dock close to where we were going looked like it was a suicide spot, since you just kind of would walk out the little dock and fall off the end if there wasn't a boat there, and there wasn't any special place for a boat to tie off to or anything. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1G8Q6 - Rio's Geo[Cache] Two (1/1) by SkiBug5
This was 23 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick easy find that FFKid got himself, while I worked on getting the next cache in line into the GPSes, computer, maps, logging finds, and all of the other things that I was doing as part of my job on this adventure. Thanks for bringing us here and putting out this cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1GBE3 - Eye Got It! (1/1) by SkiBug5
This was 24 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find, but surprised me a little because when I was pulling it out of its hiding place, I looked up and saw several people in suits staring at me from inside the store...oh wait, those are mannequins wearing suits and just standing there in the window - whew - haha. Thanks for putting this one out and bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1HH8Q - Tale of Two Bridges (1.5/1.5) by Hutch48
This was 25 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find once we figured out how to get where we were going - took a little driving to find the actual location. Once we got there, we searched for a few minutes and then came up with the find. FFKid managed to comment on how one of the logs I worked on blew away earlier today, and I said it was probably going to happen again if he kept reminding me about it - since that is how it happened the first time. Thanks for bringing us here and putting this cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1QGRA - The Cell Knells (1/1.5) by Chemist Kahuna
This was 26 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We weren't quite sure on this one what the name had to do with the location - but we searched for it anyway. After a few minutes of FFKid searching while I got things set up for the next cache, I got out to help him with finding it. I didn't manage to find it, but he did - it was on the back side of the tree that I was looking at, and never would have seen it if he wasn't on the other side. Thanks for bringing us here and showing us this area, as well as putting this cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCX39P - Cache-n-Dash #4 (1.5/1) by Z-Files
This was 27 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was another similar find to a lot we had done earlier in the day - nice way to make some quick caches for some numbers. They remind me of the caches in the Buffalo area from the "Bee" series. I found a ton of those with FFKid before. After this, we decided to find someplace to eat (since we had been caching all day), and looked for a nice oriental buffet nearby. Thanks for putting these out and showing us parts of Rochester!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1RN31 - Get 'em Checked! (1/1.5) by SkiBug5
This was 29 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a pretty quick cache that FFKid found. No problems with this one, but we were thinking this was a dentist's office when we saw the name - not quite, when we read the building - haha. Thanks for bringing us here and showing us the area.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1QWDB - Death by Dinner Mint (1.5/2) by Hakaishi
This was 30 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This one was a little confusing, as the map seemed to take us a different place from where the GPS took us. We went into the corner of the cemetery after looking at the map, and then worked our way away from it as we were looking for the cache using the GPS to guide us. It happened to be in the first place I checked using the hint, and I was glad, because I don't usually like reaching into places I can't see. Cool container!

There were a lot of other geocachers in the cemetery today, as we ran across a bunch of people with gps's - I checked out one of the nearby caches, and it seems like it is a relatively confusing and long multi, but looks like it would be really cool to do. I did one of them in a local cemetery a year or two ago and really enjoyed checking out some of the stones that we needed to look at to find the next stage. Might have to come back and try to complete it someday! Thanks for the cache and showing us this HUGE cemetery!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1ZHCH - I caught you lookin' (1.5/1.5) by jackflack
This was 31 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick cache and dash - no problems encountered, and no one checking us out - might have been because it was a Sunday afternoon, so no one was really around to check us out checking out the cache. Interesting container! Thanks for bringing us to this place and giving us another smiley!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1QRPX - Commemorating Rochester Area CITO 2009 (1.5/2) by Team GeoGriffin
This was 32 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

I decided to take the hard way into this one - FFKid found a much easier way in, and we used that to get back out. After checking the area, he went one way and I went the other, and he managed to find it. Like an earlier cache, FFKid found it, said that he found it, and I managed to not hear him, so he went and hid under the bridge while signing the log and looking through the contents. Thanks for bringing us here and showing this area - looks like the CITO must have worked, because there wasn't much trash lying around.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1JHGX - Riverview Cache (2/1) by ddemarle
This was 33 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a quick find on a boardwalk - the one unusual thing about this time was that FFKid found some weird kind of fruit on the boardwalk, and kicked it off into the water - not quite a good kick, because it actually only rolled off and plopped in. But thanks for bringing us here and letting us find a cache here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1JK1M - Running cache (2/1) by ddemarle
This was 34 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

Thanks for bringing us here - this was a quick park and grab in a very urban area. I expected to have to hunt for a little while, but managed to spot it very quickly - it seems like it would have trouble staying here, but I don't know. Thanks for putting it out and giving me one more smiley!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC19H46 - Raven's Cache (3/1) by ddemarle
This was 35 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We stopped to pick this one up, and the hint was helpful - we started into the park, and realized it was pretty close to where we parked. So we went back and I made the find very quickly. This was probably good because just as we were getting back into the car, a group of people were headed through the park and it would have been difficult to hide what we were doing. Thanks for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1W65P - Cocoon (1.5/1.5) by amerkfan
This was 36 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

On the way to this one, I tried to explain a little about the movie to FFKid, but couldn't remember enough details for it to really make sense. It was kind of a weird movie from what I remember at 14 years old, which is when it came out. This was a quick find for FFKid with no problems. We stopped here for a few minutes, and then headed on to the next cache. Thanks for bringing us here and putting this one out!

FireRef (Found it) GC1PW7X - The Few, The Proud.... (2/1) by J.A.M.E.S.
This was 37 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a walk up and find cache for me - It was the first place I looked. Thanks for putting this out - several of the attachments to it are not attached anymore, but it is still able to stay in its hiding place well - the owner might want to check on it however. Nice hide! I haven't found one like this for a while - they are always cool.

FireRef (Found it) GC1PV1J - The North Forest (1.5/1) by Moon Shine
This was 38 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was a pretty quick find - only took a few minutes. When we were walking back to the car, we ran into the owner who came over and introduced himself. At first I was worried that it was a muggle that saw us find it and would mess up the cache, but that worry was short lived as he introduced himself. Nice to meet you, and nice cache! Thanks for putting it out and bringing us here!

FireRef (Found it) GC1GW4G - The Dog House (2/1) by SilverFox253
This was 39 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was the second cache in a row that FFKid and I ran into people related to the cache. A van with several people stopped and said that they were relatives of the cache owner. After we looked around for a while, and had our hands on it several times, we managed to find it. It seems that it might be a little damaged, but was in good enough shape to last for a while. The people that were there said they would make sure to let the owner know what we found. Thanks for putting this out and bringing us to this area - it was a really cool cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1G69K - Time for a Pit Stop? (2/1) by SilverFox253
This was 40 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

We stopped for another one in this park, but weren't able to. When we realized there was another easy one nearby, we stopped for this one. I found it right away - never saw one of these used as a cache container before! Thanks for bringing us here and putting this out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC10PT6 - Ground Hogs Day Repeat (1/1) by jojojousa
This was 41 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday. I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time.

This was #1799 for me. FFKid and I were looking for some easy ones on the way home to Erie in order to get me up to 1800 before the end of this trip. We were going to grab a few at rest stops between Rochester and Erie, but we either had already gotten them or there weren't any in the rest stop. Thanks for bringing us here - it was a quick, easy find, and got me within one of my goal! On to 1800!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC172TK - Crunch Cache #1 (1.5/1) by MTCrunch23
This was 42 of 42 caches that FFKid and I went looking for and found on this Sunday, and was also #1800 for me! I set up a cache run to the area around Rochester, NY, with the intention of getting as many as we could. I wanted to top my record of 47 in a day, but we just weren't able to do it. Maybe next time. But 1800 is nice!

This was a quick find for me - I managed to grab it right as I was walking by the area it was hidden in. FFKid, with the GPS, headed toward the middle of the field confused, because there wasn't anywhere for the cache to be where he was. I tried to play it off that I hadn't found it, but I don't do a very good job of hiding that - FFKid and his friend BVFDJR manage to do that to me all the time - find it, get the log signed, and get it returned before I notice, then mess with my head. I just can't seem to do it - haha. So we signed the log and headed home - thanks for bringing us here - We have been to the nearby skatepark a couple of times - cool place!

Also, listed as the 19th but from the 18th:

FireRef (Found it) GC1KX7Q - STOP!! (1.5/1.5) by Dove78
This was 1 of 7 I found (and some DNF's) on Saturday - I was actually here last weekend with my dad and for some reason didn't have this one on my list of ones to do - maybe because it hadn't been found in a little while. Thanks for bringing me back here! My dad told me he did some cable engineering for the phone company years ago in this area when he was here with me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1RQ7Q - Field Of Dreams (1.5/1.5) by 0newithwild
This was 2 of 7 I found (and some DNF's) on Saturday. This was a quick easy find, but I had to worry a little about muggles because there was a lady walking her dog by as I was looking for it. What was weird was that she walked her dog to the other side of the street, seemingly to avoid me. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1V85H - On the Corner between Two and Four (1.5/1) by roamingraccoons
This was 3 of 7 I found (and some DNF's) on Saturday. The first time I stopped by here there was an older couple working on loading lawn scraps (sticks and stuff) into a small trailer. So I thought I'd come back later. I went to look for another cache, and since I had to drive back by here on the way back, I thought I'd stop by again. I'm glad I did because this was a cool hide. I found it pretty quickly, but I don't think most people would. I was actually not expecting it to be the cache until the last second when I saw it. I can't say much more without giving away details, but it was a very cool hide! Thanks for putting it out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1RKKQ - Seaway Trail #11-Dead End (1.5/1.5) by beanbag63
This was 4 of 7 I found (and some DNF's) on Saturday. It took me about 15 minutes, but mainly because I was looking in the wrong place. I found it pretty quickly once I looked in the right place. I tend to get tunnel vision a lot of times, and forget about "other" possible hiding places. Thanks for putting this one out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1FRR2 - Guard of the Lyons Watering Hole (1/1) by jojojousa
This was 5 of 7 finds on a Saturday cache run to the near New York area. I found this one quickly, but it seems to be missing some parts and the log is very wet - it needs some replacement. I would have replaced the container but I didn't have any lying around, so I had to leave it as it was. Thanks for bringing me here - I did a cache up the road a little while back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1TDFN - Old Yeller (1/1) by FORK
This was 6 of 7 finds on a Saturday cache run to the near New York area. It was a quick find - no problems here - I figured it would have some kind of dog or reading theme, but I got it when I got there. I drove past this one on the way to find FORK, but didn't manage to find that one. Thanks for bringing me here and making the trip get me at least one smiley :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GCXPJD - A little Bit of Heaven (1/1.5) by Bagginses
This was 7 of 7 finds on a Saturday cache run to the near New York area. I think I looked for this one before, but managed to find it pretty quickly this time, so its all good. Thanks for bringing me here and giving me something to look for, as well as another smiley! Back home now...

No luck - my dad and I looked for about 20 minutes. I'll be back!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1KFER - Sole Survivor (1.5/1.5) by grammyolie
This was 1 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! This was a cool container - the log does need replaced, however, as I was barely able to squeeze my name into a space between a couple of others. Thanks for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1R9V2 - Number Three from brickhead28 (1.5/1.5) by brickhead28
This was 2 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! I was in this area a long time ago, maybe 15 years, with a rescue of a 12 year old boy from down in the gully nearby. It was one of the first rescue calls I was on when I started out as a volunteer fireman. Eh - maybe that was 20 years ago - haha. Thanks for the quick easy find to add to my numbers!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1R1TY - Number Two from Brickhead28 (1/1) by brickhead28
This was 3 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! Another quick easy find - my dad likes to wander to the other side of the road from me for some reason, but most of the time it is on my side. I believe this time he looked right at where it was but missed it because he didn't look from the right angle, and doesn't usually stick his hand in as many places as I am willing to. Thanks for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1R1TR - Number One from Brickhead28 (1/1) by brickhead28
This was 4 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! Another quick find, another quick smiley, and another quick departure. Thanks for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1C0FT - Hey! I've Been Moved (1/1.5) by GoonieNanny
This was 5 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! I think I might have looked for this one before, but if I did, I am surprised I missed it. It was pretty easy to find and relatively well stocked. Thanks for bringing us here and giving me another smiley!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1J6YM - GR2 (1.5/1.5) by grammyannie
This was 6 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! This was a nice fast one for us because the coords were very close to where it was. Thanks! We realized there was another one close that wasn't on my list of ones to hit, so we went and did that one next.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1J6XX - GR1 (1.5/1.5) by grammyannie
This was 7 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! This wasn't on my list of caches to hit for today because I filtered out ones that weren't found in the last 7 days, and so it was skipped because it was last found like 10 days ago. Thanks for putting all of these out - good use for these bottles after their primary use has been fulfilled....or full-emptied - haha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1XGWT - Qwik Cache (2.5/1) by Goldsnoop-PA
This was 8 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! Wow - my dad made the find on this by noticing something that seemed out of place. I probably never would have noticed this. Thanks for a really cool cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1TCAJ - Choke & Puke No More (1.5/1.5) by MickEMT
This was 9 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! My dad stated that he ate here a few times when he was younger - I don't ever remember this place being open. He mentioned it seems like most businesses don't seem to survive here for some reason - doesn't make sense since it is the last exit before you have to pay a toll to be on the road. Thanks for bringing us here - it was cool to look at the building I've driven by a bunch of times up close.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1RKK9 - Seaway Trail #2-Express (1/1.5) by beanbag63
This was 10 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! This was a quick find near the last cache. I had done a bunch of the seaway trail caches before, so I was surprised there was one here, because I had gone long past this point to get the ones I did. Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1TJ72 - Welcome to the Keystone State (1/1.5) by Erie Scouter
This was 11 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! I didn't know there was another cache at this rest stop - I looked for one at the other end of it, and can't remember at this point if I ever found it, but this one must be relatively new. Thanks for bringing us here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1KR8M - Wiley Cache (1.5/1.5) by Smagster
This was 12 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. This is also 1750 for me! Woohoo! Thanks for putting it out! My dad actually found this one. Thanks for another mini-milestone!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1KX88 - Ripley Community Park Micro (1.5/1.5) by Dove78
This was 13 of 13 caches I did on a run of simple park-and-grabs with my dad. Thanks for putting it out! This wasn't as much a park and grab as it was a little walk in the park. The cache wasn't quite where the coords took us, and we spent about 20 minutes looking around before we finally found it based on the hint and previous logs. Thanks for giving us some fun today. We headed out from here to have one DNF close by, and then headed home.

FireRef (Found it) GC1EHJ5 - Grate Conewango Cache (1/1.5) by hunters2
This was one of two caches I did on a short run into the Jamestown area, but ended up further North than I expected. I found this after a few minute search. I was here before, but this time managed to make the find when I thought about different ways to spot it. Thanks for bringing me to this area again - the river was pretty swollen because of all of the recent rain.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1VWZ8 - Simon says (1/1) by Bruce Bunch
This was the second of two I did on a short run to Jamestown and the area around it. I never ended up doing many caches - I stopped by the local Sam's Club, did some shopping, and then headed home. Thanks for bringing me here!

FireRef (Found it) GC1W3XC - KFPz (1.5/1.5) by grammyannie
This was the first cache that myself and Lil Bro B went and did today on a short cache run in the Erie area. We decided to hit some of the ones in the Erie area. This was a quick easy find, and he knew right where to go, even though he has only gone caching with me a couple of times. Thanks for putting this one out, and for all of the caches you make available for us to find!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1P7Q3 - Dont' Get Stumped (1/1) by SPHOONY
This was the second of 7 caches that Lil Bro B and I looked for on this nice warm fall evening. We stopped by this house, which I had considered looking for before, but didn't feel comfortable by myself, so we grabbed it when there were several of us. This was a quick find - cool way to hide it, in plain site. Thanks for putting it out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Didn`t find it) GC1YY91 - Scary Park (1/1.5) by The Goonies 7
Lil Bro B and me looked for this cache for about 20 minutes - no luck. I read through the old logs, and realized that it had been moved since it was originally placed, but we were looking in the place that the new info pointed us toward. We also noticed that it had been found 4 times today before we showed up, which surprised us that we just couldn't come up with the find. We went in the park and looked for Dery's Gold Cache, which we found, and then looked for a few minutes when we came back out with no luck. We'll have to swing back by here sometime soon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1R9T4 - Dery's Gold Cache (2/2.5) by Dery
This was the third cache that Lil Bro B and me looked for tonight and found. This was a cool walk through this little park - I had been here a few times with some other cachers or friends, and remember some interesting caches placed in here. It also seems like they get muggled a lot by the kids that come through here, but I think this one should last a while considering how it is hidden. We got to it, signed the log, and headed back out. Thanks for bringing us here - we managed 1 of the 2 caches in the park, because we DNF'd the new one at the entrance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1Z0YW - People Helping People (1.5/1.5) by llizb
This was the fourth of 7 caches that Lil Bro B and I went looking for tonight. We actually were headed toward this one when my fire department got a call for a structure fire - Lil Bro B is actually planning on joining this coming month. We headed to the FD, I got on the first Engine out, and just as we were about to leave, we got word that it was a controlled burn. Darn - and I made the first engine! Oh well. Once we got cleaned up, we headed out and looked for this cache for about 15 minutes before we found it. This particular location I had skated at a while back with some friends, so I was familiar with this parking lot. Thanks for bringing us here! Lil Bro B managed to scratch up his leg on a bunch of prickers and I almost got a large branch stick in (yes, IN!) my leg, but we managed to make the find and get out without any serious injuries. Thanks for putting this cache out!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1JVKG - The Great Wall (1.5/1) by Newt22
This was the fifth of seven caches that Lil Bro B and I did tonight. This was a quick find, and with about a half hour before we needed to head back, this was a fun one to grab. Lil Bro B mentioned he likes this kind more than the long walks in the woods that usually happen with most of the people we go caching with like to find. Thanks for bringing us here - 2 of the other people I cache with have job interviews at the biggest store in the plaza sometime later this week. Hope they have good luck!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1PW7Y - We Need a NEW one! (1.5/1.5) by Newt22
This was the sixth of seven caches that Lil Bro B and I did on this short cache run this evening. This has been here for a while, and I was here when the Cider Mill burned. I actually had a ton of photos of the fire, since I was the photographer for the fire department whose area this is in at the time it burned. Thanks for bringing me back here. I'd like to see them get around to rebuilding this, but the owner doesn't seem to be in any hurry to do so. We hunted for about 15 minutes, and finally found it in a simple place that we just overlooked the first time we looked there. Thanks for the cache!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FireRef (Found it) GC1MJZZ - My Everyday Run To The Mill (1.5/1.5) by brickhead28
This was the seventh of seven caches that Lil Bro B and I did on this short evening of caching. We looked in the wrong place at first until we looked at the satellite views of the area - once we looked there, it was right where we thought it would be. Thanks for bringing me back here - I used to be a fireman in the local department and have been up here a lot of times - I am now in a department further East, so I'll only be here once in a while with assist calls. Thanks for the cache!
