FireRef (Found it) GC1Y6JE - Bridge to Somewhere (1.5/2) by GeneP
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. This was the first cache I met up with the two of them at. By the time I caught up to them, they had just found the container, and I think I would have had some problems finding this one. Thanks for putting it out! I always wondered what the bridge here was for - I assumed that it was put up for fishermen to use. After this, I headed back to the nearby Troll Bridge cache, not realizing I did it before, and they headed for Kiawa's 3/4K cache.

Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. This was the cache with the bike problem. The two boys put their bikes under the bridge, which probably wasn't a great idea, but it was done. By the time I caught up with them, they were already near GZ searching. I managed to find it again, but honestly didn't remember where it was before I pulled it out. Other than a missing lid, the cache is in good shape. Thanks for bringing us here. We went from here to check out Bottle Rocket, but decided wading/swimming wasn't really an option the way we were dressed, and we would have needed to wade to get there, so we headed out. When we left, we saw that VT9's bike was there, but That Guy's wasn't - it was just completely missing. I rode around looking for it for about 20 minutes, through most of the local areas, while they checked around the site, but none of us had any luck. Sorry for this bad experience, but the cache was fun. From here, we decided to continue caching, and head up to the ribfest that was going on. Thanks for the cache!

FireRef (Write note) GCP5FV - Under the Board Walk (1.5/2) by jjdjunkyard
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. We looked for this one after the bike was stolen. We searched for probably 15-20 minutes, even considering I had found it before, and finally I put my hand on it, even though VT9 had pretty much had his hand on it just before me. Thanks for bringing us here and showing us this area!

FireRef (Found it) GCHZMC - T-Ramp #2 (2/1.5) by Tprints
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. VT9 and That Guy went to the rib fest, and I checked out T-Ramp 4.5. I didn't find it, but VT9 got a hold of me to go look for some more because they couldn't find any place to sit to eat. I met up with him on Peach and we went to do this one. I had to explain to him about going to the roof, but once we did, we had the right place to look. I managed, when we got down to the next level, to go to the wrong end, and it wasn't until after we spent a few minutes checking for the cache and started to head to the next level, that VT9 told me we were searching at the wrong end. As soon as we went to the right end, I picked out the cache right away. Thanks for bringing us here and showing us this area by placing this one out. TFTC!

Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. This one was our second T-Ramp cache, and we were a little better at figuring out what to do. I had checked this out when we split up earlier, and this time it was just VT9 and I - That Guy was eating ribs at the local ribfest. We went to the roof, got our bearings, and followed the clue to the right area. We looked around a few minutes, including me explaining to VT9 where I had looked earlier. Within about a minute, in a place I was sure I looked, he pulled it out and showed it to me. I was surprised, but pretty happy he is finding these a lot easier now. I also felt stupid for having already felt there. Thanks for bringing us here by putting these out - I am getting a lot more confident in these t-ramp caches!

FireRef (Found it) GC252GY - BM - Blasco Stack (1.5/1.5) by Tprints
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. Because of a miscommunication, VT9 and I split up and went to two different caches. That Guy was still hanging out at the ribfest. I went here, and VT9 went to Bayview off of State. I found this one after a couple of minutes, and while signing the log and talking to VT9 on the phone, managed to drop the bottom of the container in the tall grass. After signing the log, and hanging up the phone, I realized this. I spent the next 10 minutes looking for it, and then replaced the partial cache where I got it, planning to come back. I went up and checked out Bayview again, not finding it, and VT9 and I came back here and started looking again for the missing half-container. I decided to head home to pick up another friend (that never panned out) who was going to cache with us, and get a replacement container, but That Guy joined us just before I left, and he managed to find it before I returned. Thanks for putting this out - I never knew this was a benchmark! They really need to just paint this like a lighthouse and make it look nice if they're going to leave it.

Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. I came back from trying to get a replacement container, that it turns out we didn't need, and met the guys at this cache. VT9 had found it, and That Guy was still searching. After a hint or two, I found it, but it definitely was well hidden. I had looked for this as a FTF, or close to it - don't know if I would have found it then. Thanks for putting this out, and exposing us to all of the wonderful bugs that were around! We picked up VT9's bike and put it on a carrier, and ran for the rest of the night in a car. On to the next one!

FireRef (Found it) GC1W00J - I Hate Shrubs (2/1.5) by Goldsnoop-PA
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. We headed over for this one, enjoying the wonderful poop plant smell wafting towards us as we searched, and swatted at bugs. After a minute or two of looking, I spotted it, and tossed it to VT9, who almost dropped it because I didn't notice he wasn't paying attention. We worked for a few minutes to remove the log, and then signed it and headed back to the car, bug swatting all the way. Cool container! Thanks for bringing us here!

Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. We stopped for this one, which I remember as a location I always saw sewage trucks dumping sewage when I was younger. We looked for a few minutes, and as soon as I figured out the clue, VT9 managed to spot it just as I was about to explain my theory. Thanks for bringing us here and providing this cool clue to the cache!

FireRef (Found it) GC248Q9 - Flipper (2.5/2.5) by Tprints
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. We swung down for this one, discussing Coppers which is having some serious problems, as we drove by. I had received a wierd phone call a few minutes earlier, and got another one as we were pulling in. Actually, it was a scout leader who I was talking with for the first time, but had emailed a few times about doing a geocaching class for his troop, which includes one of my students. We talked about how to set it up, and VT9 decided to help out as well - it should be a great time. So while I was discussing all of this with the gentleman on the phone, VT9 and That Guy got the cache without any trouble. Cool container! Thanks for bringing us here- I seem to remember a pretty cool puzzle cache, and another simpler one, down in this area.

FireRef (Found it) GC1YY91 - Scary Park (1/1.5) by The Goonies 7
Today, I went out with VanillaThunda9 and That Guy and we planned to do a bunch of caches. There were some serious snags along the way, including a stolen bike and a nearly lost cache container, but in the end, we had a good time (except for That Guy relative to his bike), and everyone got a few smileys out of the deal. This was the second to last cache we did, and my last find, as the last one we did for the night was one of my own. We looked for a few minutes, and all managed to get jabbed by the trees. We checked out the right place at first, then a few others, and then went back to the first one, and I got to watch VT9 and That Guy argue like friends do back and forth over whose fault it was that they didn't spot it in the first place the first time. Thanks for bringing us here - I was here a while back with Lil Bro B and we couldn't find it. TFTC!
