Oh boy, what a great day for caching!! The sun was out, a nice breeze and the temperature was around fifty. Still a trifle warmer than what I like but was able to wear the leather jacket and go crashing through the thorns. No mosquitos either! I did run into a rather fun infestation of butterflies on the ”Cookin’ Cache”. It was pretty neat. Hundreds of the little yellow and white ones. By one bush I could hear them there were so many fluttering. Check that cache out if you want to take a long and easy hike. Gotta select the right paths though. This is a good one to look at the aerial photos.

At this time of year when the puff balls mature [what fun] and burrs replace mosquitos as a hiker’s nemeses every opportunity to get outdoors should be relished. Trudy and I were able to get 12 finds in. The pervious week we had 9 finds and 3 NFs. Pity the couch potatos who cannot see this.

I doubt I’ll be contracting lyme disease or West Nile from a burr.
Last week was nice, although the temperature wasn’t all that great for me. It was cool enough that you had to wear a sweatshirt or something, but just warm enough that the hiking made the sweatshirt too warm to wear.I’m looking forward to the falling leaves and much improved GPSr reception…
Another great fall weekend. Fall color is at its peak in Sheboygan and Manitowoc Counties, Door County is a bit past peak but still beautiful. Cachers were out in numbers, we noticed that Ken was in Door County catching the same caches we did. And, the searchers were following us through Manitowoc County. Trudy and I managed to log 11 finds and a few NFs before we retreated to watch Packer football [please notice I did not say the Packers playing football]. Yes, We are ecstatic with their win/loss record, but….
Back to caching in the fall. Shuffling our feet through the leaves on the trail at the Old Kohler cache brought back memories as did the stroll on the beach at Kohler Kache. I regret that some of our fellow cachers chose not to take advantage of some really beautiful weather.
Cache till you drop,

We hit Eagle Bluff, Ephraim Wetlands Preserve, After School Treat, and Europe Bay. Wanted to do more but we had to hurry back to Fish Creek to pick up the women folk who were shopping. Fall colors were very nice in many spots, and not yet at peak in many areas.
