  • This young lady's so proud of herself! This morning, she was up in time to catch in-the-act the burglar who visits us three times a week and steals the empty glass bottles we leave on our doorstep.

    I wish I could explain to my dog that the workmen who come by on a daily basis are not going to steal her toys or cause her harm, but I'm not sure she'd believe me.

    Found GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley

    This checkin to GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The poor little geopup's only got tiny legs, and the 8km we've walked so-far has got her pretty tired-out, so this'll be the last cache of the series before we go and find ourselves some โ€ฆ
