Tag: dog

  • A lot of things are hard right now. But I appreciate that Spring has come and I can enjoy a cheese & pickle sandwich and a fake beer for lunch in the sun. All to the sounds of the birds singing... and, somewhere behind me, the dog excitedly demolishing a pile of pine cones.

    Full image of Dan, a white man with a goatee beard and long hair, sits at a wooden picnic bench in front of a sandwich, crisp packet, and can of Lucky Saint.

  • Dan and a boy each throw a thumbs-up to the camera from a forest footpath.

    Found GC4MJRJ Rโ€™nโ€™R #3 โ€“ Not Quite A Well?

    Another quick find for the sharp-eyed geokid, once we found the right host. Three for three and that's time for us to turn about and go have our brunch. TFTC!

    Found GC4MJRT Rโ€™nโ€™R #4 โ€“ Changing Colours

    The woods made it hard to get a good fix, but eventually we were in the vicinity of this excellent cache. It took a few different tree hosts before eventually we were looking in the right place. The younger geokid insists that I log that he caught sight of it before me!

    Found GC4MJX6 Rโ€™nโ€™R #6 โ€“ what YOU looking at?

    Came out for a dog walk from New Yatt this morning. The GZ is deep within thick brambles, but the younger geokid was up to the challenge and soon the unusual cache container was in hand. TFTC!

    Found GCAABPG North Leigh Loop #7

    This checkin to GCAABPG North Leigh Loop #7 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Completing our loop (minus a couple of DNFs, but plus a couple of nearby caches), this damp geopup and I were really happy to finish with this good-sized cache!

    This checkin to GCAABNV North Leigh Loop #5 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No sign of this one, despite the geohound and I's best efforts.

    Maybe it washed away if the nearby drainage ditch broke its banks this winter?

    This checkin to GCAABMN North Leigh Loop #3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. While the geohound busied herself with the important task of collecting sticks several times larger than herself, I began the search for what I'd figured would be a QEF.
