Signs of Life at the Spring!

Travelocity tracker bug ho!

July 17, 2012 - The Lorax Gang was up for a little geocaching fun so we went for a cache or two, albeit a little later than we usually do.  We went for a pretty easy one since one of our crew was having major thumb issues, and bushwhacking and thumb issues don't mix well.  We went to a park nearby -- again one that we've all lived by for years and years and never knew was there!  A local Girl Scout Cadet troop had hidden this stash right off the walking path so it was pretty easy to find which was lucky because our last try was DNF!  :(

Also lucky for us, there was a tracker bug in it!  And so we left a tracker bug and picked up the geo-gnome tracker bug seen here with one of the Lorax Gang.

The beautious Sandy Spring

We tried for a second at the reknowned Sandy Spring -- only reknowed because it is what the town is named after, not for its beauty or charm (right).  Our initial foray into the area was not successful because we were 0.2 miles away but could never seem to get any closer.  I made a note to self -- "read the dang Magellan user manual, you knucklehead!"  Finally, as darkness approached we got pretty near our quarry, about 200 ft. away, but alas, it was truly too dark to do anything about it, so we chalked this one up to being called for darkness and vowed to finish it another day!  -- Maybe....TOMORROW!!
