+3wildwomen Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hello!! My 12 year old daughter and I will be in the Lexington area next weekend and was hoping some fellow local cachers could give us some suggetions on Must-Do caches in the area. We'll also be spending a day in Louisville. We have a couple of bugs we would also like to drop off. We really prefer walks in the woods to urban micros. Anything scenic or historical would be great. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I don't know a lot about the Lexington area, but there is a good thread about caches in the Louisville area. Quote Link to comment
+sun-moon-starz Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Lexington Caches Thread I have answered this before, but also have a few suggestions if you like woodsy hiking - There aren't many wooded areas in this county - it was nearly all farm country prior to being developed, most of our land that was set aside to be parks is grassy meadowland. However, If you go east of town I suggest this group for a nice variety of types of caches and a nice walk: Weather or Not (webcam) Greetings From Belgium (puzzle - solve it ahead of time) Bison & Brahmas (regular sized container, P&G) Junk from Work (ammo can, hike in the woods) One Hot Dog (ammo can, hike through undeveloped meadow park land & woods) If you have time to drive south of Nicholasville, I would suggest this grouping, this area is near historic Camp Nelson: Happy Trails to You (ammo can - fun hike) Until We Meet Again (ammo can - fun but tougher hike) Who Cares About the Clouds When Were Together (ammo can - fun hike) Sing a Song and Bring the Sunny Weather (micro in parking area - easy bonus) All four of these make a great hiking loop Also nearby are: You Landed on Waterworks On Freedom's Trail Let me know if these are what you were thinking about or not!

Oh sure - you're going to send a cacher from MY area to caches that i don't own??? Hub Regiment - short, two stage multi. no hiking involved St. Paddy's Cache - quick one in a Lexington Park with two other caches nearby: Commemorative Cache (one of my favs!) and a nearby letterbox (Letterboxing 101) by my wonderful caching friend sun-moon-starz who is super-fantastic even if she didn't recommend ANY of my caches! and of course, if you like puzzles, check out Dicoese Throne you could always try and solve it on the trip down! hope the trip goes well, and i had better see a cache log on one of mine from you guys since you're fellow new englanders! oh, and on your way from Lousiville to Lexington, stop by and snag two quick virtuals in Frankfort - Kentucky Floral Clock Melodye Park 'neko Quote Link to comment
+3wildwomen Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Hey Koneko! Somehow you didn't make the download to the GPS I printed your cache pages and will be sure to visit them! Took me awhile to figure out you go by another name there!! PS-we breifly met at the GeoJamboree last year. I was with Kayakerinme and we were getting ready to leave. Hope we bumb into each other again soon!! Edited April 12, 2007 by 3wildwomen Quote Link to comment
+sun-moon-starz Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Dooley Noted my dear friend 'neko River Hill Park has a trifecta of fun caches that I have used to convert letterboxers over to being geocachers! I was remiss not to mention it. I fully expect to be given The Bird the next time you see me. If they want to be tortured they could try Diocese Throne but I was trying to be nice to the visitors!
