FireRef (Attended) GC258FW - 10 Years! Erie & NWPA, PA (1/1) by The Goonies 7
I attended this - thanks for the snacks, and the photo (which I have yet to see) - Happy Birthday Geocaching, and Happy Birthday Dudeacus! I spent most of my time here talking with him and Platerman, his dad. We did probably 10 caches together following this. Thanks for hosting this, and having all of us there. Met a few new people, and generally had a good time.

FireRef (Found it) GC27AM4 - Smile (1/1.5) by GoonieNanny
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. This was our first find at the event. We actually found it with another group, who had already made the find, but that seems to happen at a lot of these events. Thanks for putting it out - on to the next one!

FireRef (Found it) GC27AKT - Tea Animals (1/1.5) by GoonieNanny
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. This was the second cache we did. A little muddy getting up to where the cache was, but people were already there and had it out, so it was a quick find. Thanks for putting this one out, and bringing us here, as well as hosting the event! On to the next one!

FireRef (Found it) GC27AKJ - Log It (1/1.5) by GoonieNanny
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. I actually was looking at one location when we walked up, but not having read the description online (since the cache wasn't published yet), I was in the wrong place. Dudeacus walked right up to it and found it without any problems. Thanks for putting this out!

FireRef (Write note) GCKE3P - Tough Teacher (2/1.5) by The Goonies 7
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. I had found it a long time ago, so I am just writing a note, because Dudeacus and Platerman hadn't, we came over here to get it. Thanks for putting this out and maintaining it - I found it many years ago!

FireRef (Found it) GC26X7F - Close To Home (1/1.5) by Pop-pop55K
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. First to log but not first to find. This was the first place we went after leaving the old school where the event was. It was drizzling while we were going there, and since I was on my scooter, it wasn't great. While we were there, it turned into a downpour - yuk! We waited it out, with me in their car, and then when it settled, moved on to the next one. Thanks for putting this out and bringing us here!

FireRef (Found it) GC26X66 - Gone But Not Forgotten: Grammy Annie (1/1.5) by GoonieNanny
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way. First to log but not first to find. Thanks for bringing us here. I wasn't aware that the nearby business was closed. I have been out in this area a bunch of times for accidents with the local fire department, since the one I used to belong to called us a lot for the bad wrecks which seemed to always happen here. Thanks for bringing us out here, and thanks for putting a cache out in GrammyAnnie's memory - she had a big impact on caching in this area and there are still a bunch of her caches I haven't found yet. TFTC!

FireRef (Found it) GC26X7Z - Quik (1.5/2) by Pop-pop55K
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way, including TeamWilsonPresidents. This was a quick find as we came up behind another group of cachers who happened to pull this one out of its hiding place just before we got there. Thanks for bringing us here. We had a nice walk through this area.

FireRef (Found it) GC26ZFH - Coulrophobia (2/2.5) by The Goonies 7
I went out for the 10 Years lost and found event, and this was one of the caches I found while I was out here. I did this one with Dudeacus and Platerman, and ran into a few other people along the way, including TeamWilsonPresidents. Found this one very quickly, because again, there was a group just ahead of us who had it out by the time we got there. this one was supposedly pretty well hidden. Thanks for putting them out and giving us an opportunity to meet some other cachers from the area.

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

FireRef (Found it) GC26X8E - Happy Trails (2/1.5) by Pop-pop55K
First to Log, even if not first to find! Lol - I was waiting for this one to be published so I could finish up my logs from the caches I did during the 10 year event in Greene Township. Thanks for putting this one out. It was a quick find, because other people from the event were already there with the cache in hand. I was with Dudeacus and Platerman, as well as TeamWilsonPresidents, while looking for this one. Thanks for putting it out and bringing us here, and making the long walk through this section worth a few different caches.

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1D2G5 - Cache Me ... if you can II (2/1.5) by Pop-pop55K
This was the last of the caches I did at the event with a group of people, including Dudeacus, Platerman, and TeamWilsonPresidents, among others. Some of them had already found this cache, but since it was in the loop around the other three new caches that were in this area, most of us went over to this one to find it. Thanks for putting it out - this is a cool kind of hide. Some of the younger people with our group were surprised that the object the cache is located in would remain where it is at, but we explained that when you're out in the woods, these kind of objects don't really move around much, and people generally don't move them either. Thanks for putting this out. This was the last cache I did with the group. I had considered doing more shortly, but managed to delete the waypoints I put into the GPS, so I headed home after this, took a nap, downloaded the caches from my computer, and headed back out later. Thanks for the cache!

FireRef (Found it) GC1FJR3 - The Ks keep PA Beautiful (1/1) by grammyannie
This was one of 8 caches I did on my own, going back out after the 10 year event that was in Greene Township earlier today. This was a quick find, but the log is getting full. It is nice to still have some GrammyAnnie caches to pick up, since there aren't likely to be any more. Thanks for putting this out and maintaining it!

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1FJRH - A Tight Fit (1.5/1.5) by grammyannie
This was one of 8 caches I did on my own, going back out after the 10 year event that was in Greene Township earlier today. Not sure why it is named the way it is, but it is a typical GrammyAnnie cache, which is the same kind I like to put out. Thanks for putting it out.

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

FireRef (Found it) GC18HR6 - Knot In The Beech (1.5/2) by GeneP
This was one of 8 I went out and found on the same day as the 10 year event in Greene Township. I never realized there was a cemetery back here, but then again, have never been to the business located nearby. Once I got to the right place, this was a quick find. Thanks for the cache!

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1RZ3K - In A Pigs Eye (1.5/1.5) by justmet
This was one of 8 caches I got later on the day of the 10 year anniversary event in Greene Twp. I used to come out here almost every year in order to pick up cow eyes for a demo for my classes. Sometimes I still do, sometimes I just show the video, depending on the year. This took a few minutes, but some of the description helped. Thanks for putting this here!

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1YZJW - Bling (1.5/1.5) by GoonieNanny
This was one of 8 caches I went back out and did later in the day on the 10th anniversary of geocaching. I had spent a decent amount of time in this area years ago, but now access to the dam is restricted - it wasn't years ago. I wonder why they're so picky about that area now. Cache was a quick and easy find, and reminded me of a goldsnoop find in another part of the county. Thanks for bringing me back here for for putting this cache out!

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1T58Y - Closed for Business (2/1.5) by justmet
This was one of 8 caches I went back out later in the day on the 10th anniversary of geocaching. This was a quick find. I never understood why they closed this road, since it looks like it is in fine shape, with a little maintenance. Thanks for bringing me here. I've walked to this end, but never actually driven to this end the way I did now. Thanks for the cache.

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

FireRef (Found it) GC1FJT1 - Get On The Bottle (1.5/1.5) by grammyannie
This was the second to last of 8 new caches I went out to find later on the day of the 10th anniversary of geocaching. Thanks for bringing me here. It took me about 10 minutes to get the current log out of the container - the owner might want to check on this and see if they can make a better storage medium. I actually considered just leaving it and not claiming the find. As I was working on getting the paper out of the container, I was approached by a local muggle who asked very politely if she could inquire as to what was going on near this tree. I said there probably was a parade of people earlier in the day, and she laughed and said yes. I explained geocaching, and she said she had seen it in an article in the newspaper recently. She thought it was funny. Thanks for bringing me here!

FireRef (Found it) GC275M4 - Man o' War (1/1.5) by Pop-pop55K
This was the last of 8 caches I went back out to find later in the day after a 10 year anniversary event. I never had been in this part of the casino parking lot. I actually have only been in the casino once, and that was with the fire department. I was surprised that there were no cars parked where this cache was located - there were two empty spaces right there, which made it a lot easier to get the cache. Thanks!
