Track My Cat Murphy -A Gift for My Pals.

So here in lays the problem.  TeamPooKel has been caching independently lately, because of family responsibilities pulling them in different directions... so I have spent a lot of time with Sue but really missing Kelly. They have two homes, one in Illinois and one in Colorado and two kittys  and I wanted to get them something to share, while they add to my friend score (wink) Sue's favorite color is purple, and Kelly is amazing at photography just doesn't like being in them so I thought these twin trackable kitty tags would do the trick. They can now track their cat Murphy, and Kelly can pose the tag at finds for pictures. Both tags are laser engraved with a trackable number which is shared.  People can discover them at events. and fun to visit finds. Now they b oth can be taking their cat on finds and logging a vist

Sue Fell For her 100th Geocache Find.

So Did I. Everly Park Cache GC2GNPT Macomb, IL Drove my little red la baron to this location to take a few photos of Sue from TeamPooKel find their 100th Geocache. The weekend was 15 hours on Saturday driving and geocaching. Sunday we got here to one of the larger cache types so I could place a trackable in TPK's 100th find. Success was made on bot points.  We drove up to a fairly empty park. The weather over the last 24 hours has gotten 3 degrees warmer. Cell phone camera in hand and Sue using her AP we make our way down the hill only to slip and roll down in the mud. You an see the sky marks we made on the way down in the photo.  What a baptism. Sue makes the find and I load up the container with a trackable. Now back at the car covered in mud, we change clothes before jumping in the car. Just as Im putting dry socks on a dad and his kid drive up kid runs out of the car in a flash and just as fast, the dad spots us, grabs his son throws him in the car and speed away.  So now Sue and I are in someone else's story.

All in a day of geocaching. 

Making The "Round" with my Geo-Caching-Sista Sue from TeamPooKel

February 16-18, 2018

...Was totally the highlight of Geocaching so far. On a spur of the moment, I throw the dog in the car and before we knew it we were on our way to Peoria, Illinois to meet up with Sue and start our first "Geo-caching trip" an adventure to obtain our Iowa & Missouri state trophies.  I mentioned the idea and within second it seemed Sue had a geo-cachng trip planned and hides picked out to obtain our trophies and see some cool history along the way. What actually happened was a few great laughs, a few bruises, TeamPooKel's 100th fnid. and my 100th day consecutive geocaching.  We had the best time and there's no way to document everything that happened... it was a riot - starting with GC6Q6PY Richard Prior who is from Peoria to the Mormons in southern Illinois. Our trip could have only been better if we were joined by TeamPooKel's better half -Kelly. (which BTW makes Sue Poo) 

Friday Highlights. 

Dead Zone Four ( GC4B2Z3): was an unrecorded DNF for my friends and Sue thought maybe I could find it - but with no success. It was completely dry and we searched everywhere. Sue later went back and was unable to search (photo below) definitely have to get this one next time. Scoped out a place TPK wants to hide their first geocache and found a great place for chicken fried rice. 

Saturday Highlights.

Up early - Cooler and Max-Madison the K9 detective in the back seat, Sue TPK navigating in the little red la baron geo-cache machine. 

Iowa trophy Screened Out - which was placed at some guys house in his window.  I loved it.  he was trying to get his wife excited about the game. 

100th day in a row caching - photo taken in front of the latter day saints temple in nauvoo, il. Loved the mark twain GCA8E6 and abraham lincoln First Virtual Geo-cache Oak Ridge Cemetery GCE6FF and it has a 197 hearts! and as we made our circle round... left a trackables at the oldest cypress tree GC2A2F. Madison even fund one at the dog park "Barkn around" GC314FJ 

Things to note... the birds were acting so weird. flying in mass we saw severl eagles in a tree with hundreds of other birds. a geo-cache rolled up in cation tape and to experience snow to warm thaw within hours and sliding down a hill muddy to photograph Sue making her 100th find. 

Jonathan Livingston Seagull The geocache the required a new tool!!

Well this Siegel took a little bit of time to fly into my hands. I came the first time spotted it right away from the car about ten feet above my head.  The lot was filled with muggles so I drove over to the ace hardware spent 6 bucks and now I have this great new hunting tool. It s a collapsible cooking fork. gets really small and I bent it sideways so it would fit in my geo-bag. Very proud of my tool by the way-  now I can go back to several others similar properties with visible cache above my head and use my new tool. I thought the best way to ovoid being seen was to came back at 6am in the morning. But the tile and carpet store in the mall  must start really early - trucks and other tile vehicle quickly surrounded me. covering my tracks.
