Quick trip down to Florida to visit friends and family – with a Geocaching adventure of course!

In my little town there is a Veteran’s Memorial park on Main Street. All these years I’ve driven by here I didn’t know there was a geocache right up under this truck in a cammo’d film canister!

Yes, it’s real. A real Hughy Heli that you can walk up to and climb about.

Next stop – an “icon” in our small town – the WALMART! Cache was called “Always” but the difficulty level was a 2 with a terrain of 1. Hum, can’t be that hard right?  Had to use geo-fake (the pretend use of the gps as a cell phone) to get a good look “around”. Finally spotted this after a good 15 minutes scrubbing the bushes with my feet – oy! Pull this hook and a long coat hanger device comes out with a film canister attached to the end of it – niiiiice! Now getting it out for this vertically challenged human, there was the difficulty rating right there.

Met Dad for lunch at a local favorite restaurant. Just so happens there’s a cache here too so I introduced Dad to Geocaching.

Fried caches not on the menu. Boo!

That concludes this Florida geocaching adventure with “the sign of the catfish”.
