This is my first cointest entry ever! ( goodlife4Me )
This log is for the cache Mimi's Point (GC1X5RZ) on October 21, 2010. My 8 year old son and I were really new to caching (only 1 month) when we were told about this cache by the cache owner's father. I was apprehensive about going so close to dark, but he said it wasn't far. I'll forever be glad we went, and forever reget not having a camera with me!

Came here today by recommendation of a local cacher we met while finding Osmunda Club.
We admired the cliff swallow nests on the way in, then had fun running on the railroad tracks. After we signed and traded, then turned in a hurry to head back as it was getting dark, we were treated to a gorgeous sight.....the tracks reached out in front of us with the sky reflecting in the pond to both sides of the track, the setting sun behind us lit the yellow and orange trees an incredible golden color ahead of us on the other side of the pond, and directly above the tracks, between the dark pine trees, a stunning full moon.
This is why I've fallen in love with caching. It's not about the box under a rock with a couple trinkets in it. It's about everything ELSE leading To the box, the people, places, the adventure and unexpected. As I ran the tracks back with my son, and with the cool air on my cheeks, I felt truly lucky and deeply happy.
Thanks for taking us there.
