Local Residents, part 1

Today my family and I decided to geocach at a local Huron-Clinton Metro Park.  As the quote above mentions, the joy is in the journey, and boy did we have fun with this particular trip.  This was not a locate cache, log and move on...it was a "hey did you just see that?!?" kind of experience.  Although we have a TON of assorted photos, I wanted to share with you some of the pics from today.

This first picture was taken about half way through our trip--
My dear husband came within 10-15 feet of this beautiful creature, while searching for a cache that was no longer there (discovered that a bit too late though, lol).

While searching for the next few caches, we had a few firsts: Jeremy (DH) located a geocoin, an item with its own tracking number, so the owner can chart the progress (discovered that this particular item had already traveled 1500 miles!). And, the second, was taking on an earth cache, a unique way to see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes (geocaching.com). We obtained a few questions about this one pond located behind the nature center, and got some pretty amazing photos too!
It was fun to take some time out and really focus in on what we were looking at. I throughly enjoyed doing this earth cache, and hope we search for another one soon. We have about two weeks to find a new home for our geocoin, and are already pondering where the coin should rest.

I hope you enjoyed this trip with me!  As the title said, this is just part 1. I hope to have part 2 up shortly.

Happy caching!
