Loon Pit Cache: Our 900th!

Seth, his best friend Corey, and I headed over to Blue Grass Fish and Wildlife Area today to tackle Loon Pit Cache by land. This was our 900th find and it was quite a fun adventure. Loon Pit Cache is one of those caches that sits there on your unfound page for a long time. It's a 5-star terrain cache, because a boat is really the best way to reach it. For those of us who are boatless, however, we have to find a workaround. Such as using Google Earth to discover that the cache area is actually on a peninsula, not an island. And where there's land? We will hike!

Click the link in the title above to read our log for the cache and see all of the pics we took along the way.

Afterward, we celebrated with milkshakes and lunch at Steak and Shake (where real caching men go to celebrate, of course). We hit a few more caches in the rain and then headed home, happy and feeling all manly and whatnot.

A Tale of 3 Birds

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I had a good morning of Geocaching, followed by time with family and friends over way too much food. My Uncle Vince brought his turkey fryer along, so we had a deep-fried turkey. I, of course, had the stroke of genius to throw some French Fries into the pot as soon as the turkey was out. Hey, if you're going to have deep-fried turkey, you might as well have fries, too.

We also had a full bird cooked in the convection oven. Moist and juicy goodness! Here be that bird:


Finally, I was taking pictures of various family members in their post-meal, tryptophan-induced haze, and my Uncle Vince decided to add one final bird to the day. You can always count on him for that!

Jeremy Camp is Back!

Jeremy's new CD "Speaking Louder Than Before" is in stores now. Wait not. It will bless you.

Slingin' Some More Mud at Interlake!

After raking leaves and working in the yard for HOURS this morning, I escaped back to Interlake for a little more off-roading and to hide 4 new caches. It was an absolute blast.

I ran into The-MudSlingers out on the trail, and found the rest of the stages of their fine multi-cache. It's always nice to run into friends in the wild.

The weather was warm, so I could ride around with the windows down. The other positive aspect of that was the fact that all the ice was gone and there was plenty of fresh mud. The FJ definitely needs a bath now. Click below to read more about today's trip and to see a couple more pics:

Off-Road Odyssey

Today, Odyssey Posse found off-road Nirvana here in Southern Indiana, thanks to our good caching friends The-MudSlingers. They hid a 7-stage multi (that we happened to finish in only 5 steps due to sheer luck!) in an off-road "playground" called Interlake. Click on the link below to read our log and check out the pics!

Squirrels in my Pants

OK, so the kids have recently become enamored with a new cartoon called "Phineas and Ferb." I've watched it a couple of times, and it's hilarious. Very creative and original ideas . . . great writing . . . and even some spectacular music scenes, such as this one entitled "Squirrels in my Pants." Enjoy!
