Cabin: Day 5

7/05/10

Today, with no fishing in our plans, we slept in until the sun was thoroughly warming our beds through the windows. After eating some breakfast, my friend, brother and I left for Munds Park to find some geocaches there and along the way. We easily found 3 geocaches, all in ammo cans, before reaching Munds Park. They just required a little short hiking on relatively flat ground to reach them. Once reaching Munds Park we stopped by Odell Lake. This lake is a private lake for the residents there. So we parked along the street and started looking around. There were many muggles (those who don't know about geocaching) out fishing so it was difficult to look too much. But we did finally find it in a log. It was a nice very small cache, the size of a small pill container and camouflaged. 

Then we headed further in to the park near the I-17. We stopped at a gas station and crossed the street to where the geocache was supposed to be. The clues said it was in plain sight but well camouflaged and close to the golf sign. Our friend and I looked in a tree and I jokingly said, "Look! Here it is. It's well camouflaged...it's a rock." There was a rock in the branches of the tree. Of course that wasn't the geocache so we kept looking. Then as we were about to head back across the street to the truck, I said, "You know what guys? It's probably in one of those fake rocks that people put their keys in." Well there were a bunch of rocks and broken pieces of concrete at the base of the stop sign so my friend kicked one over as we headed back to the car. We turn around to see my brother crouched down displaying a shocked face. It was there in that rock. There was a small screw on cap on a small cylinder mounted inside the rock. What an amazing find. We were very excited about that one. Then we headed up to find one more back in some neighborhoods before heading back to the cabin to pack up and head home. 

And thus ends our cabin adventures.
