We kicked off our fall break with a day long geocaching extravaganza with the Painter crew (AKA Team Eggnogbelly). I had discovered that a family had placed quite a few gadget caches in the Shelbyville area. We had made plans to tackle these fun caches in a day long adventure. So with 3 Hackneys and 4 Painters we loaded up the van and after properly sugaring and caffeinating at Dunkin Donuts we headed out.
The first stop was the required bathroom break before starting the run of caches. Not the best of choices as it elicited this response from Heather! But after a lot of laughter and hand sanitizer we pressed on.
The gadget caches did not disappoint. Each one was cleverly built and a lot of fun to try to figure out.
Even a cache made to look like a giant mousetrap!
This one required the use of the car battery and jumper cables
Lunchtime found us in the middle of cornfields. So we tossed out a blanket for a quick picnic. (This was after moving down the road to avoid being downwind of the pig farm.
At the end of the day we found 27 caches and only struck out once. With a few scrapes and scratches and one wicked bruise, I managed to keep my geocaching injury streak alive. These finds were a ton of fun. The unfortunate result is now all other geocaches will seem boring! Great time with great friends!
