The Pathfinder: “Having Faith” Leads To Return

“Having Faith” Leads To Return
I find it appropriate that the “Have Faith” geocache marks my return to the sport of geocaching — especially since I was in the neighborhood photographing a swim meet not all that far away.
After several months of not seeking, I have been feeling the itch to begin again as not only does the adventure of it appeal to me, but the physical exercise is very much needed to keep my heart healthy.
When I went out to find this one, I was not really sure what to expect as trails come in all shapes and sizes.
Let me begin by saying that I left the house with only coordinates jotted down on paper as my paperless caching device was in need of a power recharge.
What does this mean? … It means I began by looking down the wrong path, yet it did not take much to figure out my error and make my approach from a different direction.
I found this cache very well maintained and easy place to walk with no bushwhacking needed. It is a place I could happily take my almost 3-year-old daughter.
*This* is why I enjoy the sport so much … Finding places like this one.
A special thank you to those who hid and maintain this cache as it was an honor and joy to find this one.
On another note, this location reminds me of an old orchard of which there were a lot scattered throughout the region.
