The Pathfinder: “Brief Excursion to the Arboretum”
Brief Excursion to the Arboretum
I always enjoy visiting the arboretum at James Madison University and only wish that I had time to enjoy the visit more today while there.
Set to photograph state play-off games at JMU’s Convocation Center, I took time to find first another geocache followed [...]
The Pathfinder: “Crawling Through Bushes”
Crawling Through Bushes
Considering I was going to be visiting the Convocation Center at James Madison University, I decided to seek out “Zip It: 22807″ to see if I could locate it.
Going into this one, there were two bits that worried me a bit.
The first was finding a parking [...]
The Pathfinder: “Good Fortune Favors The Search”
Good Fortune Favors The Search
Following a failed quick attempt at another geocache a mile away, I had the fear that “Chinese Fortune” would also be buried in snow to the point that I would not be able to locate it on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010.
However, the clues [...]
Not Leaves of Three!!!
After finding another cache that was only a mile or so away, I overshot the location where “Oh-Barn-Di, Oh-Barn-Dah” was hidden and was forced to turn around and approach the location again.
There was definitely a barn at the location which at first was where I expected to find the geocache, but was surprised as it [...]
Under a Skirt @ Blackwater
Decided to take a moment for myself and headed out looking for a couple of geocaches.
First on the list was “The Food on the Hill” which was a fairly straightforward hide and easily located as it was under a lamp skirt at the Blackwater Cafe … and I do believe the cafe was located on [...]
Not Quite By Sea
Looking for “Blackberries (Island) Singing in the Dead of Night” marked the first time ever that I searched for a geocache hidden on an island that had to be reached by boat.
Special thanks to Daniel Jarrett for taking me out to the location while family and friends enjoyed an afternoon on Smith Mountain Lake.
The island [...]
Three Multis – Three FTFs
Yay, we are caching again. This is just a short report that we found three multis today and all three were FTFs!!! Yay!
Bonnie and Clyde are on the hunt again…
Bridge Over The James
While on our way to Smith Mountain Lake to spend the day with family there, we made a quick stop at Buchanan to find a cache hidden out in the middle of a swinging bridge over the James River.
The stop could not have been better timed as little Abi was growing a bit restless and [...]

Wanting some time for just ourselves, Lee and I left Abi at home with her sister while we ourselves ventured to the arboretum at James Madison University in Harrisonburg.
It [...]
Caching During Phone Call
Wanting to have some time for just the two of us, Lee and I set out to visit Harrisonburg with a picnic basket in tow.
Before having the picnic, however, I took the chance to quickly find “Lit Up” off a parking lot at James Madison University while she handled a couple of calls by cell [...]
