Our truck took us to Dixon again today.....it knows the way now! We had such a beautiful day, so we decided to go back and finish the bike path that we didn't do yesterday and get the caches on it. This part is gravel and packed gravel, so it wasn't as nice as the trail yesterday, and it was more hilly. We found 18 caches and 3 DNF's today. We were at our last cache and Jim scared up a newborn fawn that could hardly walk. We didn't want to put any more stress on it than we already have, so we walked away from it. The grasses were about 4 feet high, so it was well hidden. On our way out, we found the cache that we had almost given up on. The same people 'planted' the caches that we did both days, and they tested our capabilities! I'll post a few pictures of what we looked for the past two days! We returned to a nearly empty campground. Three new rigs came in on the waterfront, and that makes 6 RV's in all on our leg.
Can you find the cache? Tricky!
This little gadget is what they called a whiz bang. It unscrews and has a plastic bag with a log (piece of paper) in it to sign. When it is hidden, it's very hard to see.
I'm not sure what they called this one, but it's a plastic tube pounded into a drilled hole and it contains the log paper to sign. Very hard to see. Now maybe you can understand why we had so many Did Not Find's!
