<\/a>On the Trail of Terror<\/p><\/div>\n
We were than off to \u201cScary Monsters.\u201d We had to get off the trail and back into the brush. If you get to far back in the brush after sundown it may get scary. As for the monsters this afternoon, they were fairly tame. From here we rode back to the truck to take a rest. IT was then off in the other direction to \u201c13 Mocking Bird Lane.\u201d This was a quick find. The cache was hidden in a door knob. One could say, we had a handle on the cache without any problems. From there it was off to \u201cIn the Hand of Death\u201d which was a gloved hand that looked like it was cut off. When the glove was raised up off the hand, in the palm was a cache container. I surmised that I s where the name, \u201cin the Hand of Death\u201d came from.<\/p>\n
We then rode off to \u201cMark of the Beast.\u201d They have these yellow poles to mark where monitoring wells are along the trail. One of the poles is a fake and is actually a cache container. Why it is the \u201cMark of the Beast\u201d it is not known to me. Then next cache was \u201cDying for a Smiley.\u201d If you geocache, you log your finds at Geocaching.com. When you log them, the cache mark becomes a smiley face. As for this cache, I knew I wore a bike helmet for something. I needed the protection form danger and I went in to the middle of a bush for the grab. <\/p>\n
The next cache was in some good camouflage. It was called \u201cSerial Killers\u201d and was off the path. Jacob found this one as I was looking around. We were then off to the cache known as \u201cChopping wood while intoxicated.\u201d The area is full of cut up wood. I was thinking that this cache should have been bloody or have a body part. There was nothing like that. It was just hanging in a tree. Not on the ground where it was last year.<\/p>\n
We were then off to the cache named \u201cSticking your hand down a dark hole\u201d which is aptly named for an old oak tree that has fallen down and has large holes in it. Why does there always have to be a dark hole? This was not as bad as I thought, I brought a flashlight. After a minute or two, Jacob found the cache. As for the cache \u201cThe face of fear\u201d it was a funny find. I was within a couple of feet of this cache looking in the wrong place, the ground. Jacob looked at me and laughed at how close I was to the cache and did not even know it. Directly above my head was the cache hanging in the tree. Good thing it could not bite.<\/p>\n
We headed off to the next cache, \u201cIn Plane View.\u201d I know where the \u201cplane\u201d was because there has been this plane fuselage in the river bottom area for years. Someone actually lived in the plane fuselage for years. They may still live in it, or at least in the trailer next to it. As for the cache, we went to GZ and had to do a little looking. We found it in a cut off telephone pole. There is nothing like those small cache containers hiding in dark places. Jacob raced off to the next cache, \u201cDead Horse.\u201d He remembered where the sign for \u201cno horses\u201d was. By the time I got there, he had grabbed the cache. I was tired of pedaling my bike. The last find of the day was \u201cSwamp Thing.\u201d It was a fairly quick and easy find for both of us.<\/p>\n
