We had an excellent time caching on our trip to the Hazelhurst/Minocqua area this weekend. We managed to find 18 caches during the day on Saturday, and a few on the way home today. Not only did we find a few great caches, we also dropped of 3 travel bugs, and one geocoin.
The main goal of the weekend was not really to find a bunch of caches, but mostly just to get away and relax a little bit. We stayed at a resort we have stayed at many times in the past. Blacks Cliff Resort is a perfect resort for rest and relaxation. As always we enjoyed the cabin, the lake and the general relaxing atmosphere that only northern Wisconsin can offer. Thanks to the owners Jenny and Troy...who are also cachers(The Gibbers). They may not know it, but they are responsible for getting us started in geocaching. Since our first trip to the resort, I have been following their Birch Bark Blog. In the blog about a year ago they posted about one of their caching excursions and it prompted me to check out caching. The rest is history!
Check out some of the pictures captured throughout the weekend.
This was the first picture taken of the weekend. Ruth and I decided to get up early Saturday a.m. to go have a cup of coffee down by the lake. The loons were talking(insert sound) and the fog was slowly moving to the center of the lake. My favorite time of the day...god I love it up here.
Our favorite cache of the weekend was called
"Arthur Stevenson's Homestead". The history of the old house is so neat, and the area was a blast to explore. If you are in the Boulder Junction area, do yourself a favor and find this cache(premium member cache).
When we were exploring the homestead cache we also happened upon our very first Letterbox...we were looking for the cache. We thought we found the cache, but quickly learned that we in fact had our first letterbox in hand. We obviously did not have a stamp made, or with us, so we just made our mark in the log book, and put it back. SWEET!
Here is the whole crew at another cache located on Lost Canoe Lake. The water up north is so low, that this root system would normally be underwater.
Team MuddyBottoms...such posers.
Here we are this morning before we left for home. We are holding the two travel bugs we picked up during our journeys. Thanks to Jenny at the resort for taking this picture and posting it on her blog as well. Our mansion for the weekend was behind us...it was so hard to leave. We will most likely make our fall caching trip back up to the cliff. We better dedicate that trip to finding the rest of the Gibbers caches!!
