As if we needed to do more walking.....

We had just spent the entire day at the International Plowing Match on Sept. 19 (yesterday) but decided to stop and find a couple of easy caches on the way home. The first stop was at the Portland Boardwalk. We found another couple who had the same idea. This is the first time we have met up with other geocachers while on the prowl and I thought for a moment that we would maybe do this as a team. But the other couple had never been to this location before, and so we quickly pulled ahead of them so they could explore the site on their own. Though it was a multi waypoint cache, we were able to quickly find it, and get it back into it's hiding spot well before the other team got that far into their search.

We explored this particular site one early spring, a couple of years ago, on the way back from our annual pancake breakfast at Bud's Pancake house, which has unfortunately now ceased to exist. I took pictures of the area that time, so that's what I'm posting. I didn't take pictures this time as I wanted to stay far enough ahead of the other team, so as not to spoil their experience.

We made one more quick stop on the way home, and that was at a roadside picnic area. A quick dash into the woods brought us directly to the cache. It's a good thing too, as I think I'd had enough walking for one day.
