Five Man Cave - Blue Hills - Rusk County

Five Man Cave - Blue Hills - Rusk County

I went as far as I dared into the cave. I didn't want to run into a skunk or a bear when the only way out is through me. I did fight off 2 velociraptors, 1 facehugger, and 3 Aliens inside but a hearing a scurrying noise was the last straw. There are several more caves in the area and you have to be very careful not to fall in some areas. 

String Cheese and Geocaching Tools. Not your normal bedtime story.

String Cheese and Geocaching Tools. Not your normal bedtime story.

One night in the not so distant past. It was especially dark and stormy. The winds were battering everything in their path. When a hook appeared from behind ….   Not really but close…

We get inside and sit down on the couch. I unzip my pouches and grab the forceps. I don’t know if this is common knowledge or not but squeezing forceps on string cheese is a nonstarter. You can’t grab string cheese with forceps.

Geocaching in Sica Hollow State Park, South Dakota - Part 2 - Sieche Hollow

As you climb up and down you will hear small little waterfalls hidden under the foliage. If you get to just the right angle you can spot a few…

As you navigate around the prairie make sure to you keep your eyes peeled. You never know what you might see. It could be Monarchs and Swallowtail butterflies making their rounds on flowers and bushes…

But when I looked down it was a crime scene. A turkey nest with broken eggs and feathers strewn around…

Sica Hollow State Park, South Dakota - Part 1 - The Legend

.....Horror spread throughout the Hollow. The children ran in fear when they saw the dripping scalps on the young braves belts while the women and maidens spit on the path they walked on for what they had done.

Possible FTF only 358 miles away on a Flooded Island Cemetery, Why not?

How far have you traveled to get a FTF (first to find)?

......

We went from beacon to beacon with no luck. We were starting to have a little trouble and a slight panic was starting to build that we might not find it at all. Sweeping back and forth along the island getting about 80 feet beyond the jumpy GZ (ground zero). A lot of good hiding spots but not the right one yet.  

 

Spring Geocaching

Deer are out in the fields leaving the balsam and browse of their wintering grounds. Toms are out strutting to grab the attention of a hen while Jakes are running in groups trying to muck things up. The geese are flying north and the crows jaunt from here to there. All of the migrating ducks still showing off their breeding colors. Slowly working their way up the thawing rivers and lakes.
