Who are we? We are two wacky artists from either side of the country who have discovered that we are kindred spirits- in fact, elf sisters. We both like to be outdoors and exploring, so we've created the blog to share our adventures!
Note: Here be spoilers. Well, sometimes, but you may find photos or info about the location or description of a cache. You've been warned!

Lots of hiking, geocaching, and tiny churches

Today was another gorgeous spring day spent geocaching with my dad! My injured foot has finally gotten to the point where I can hike on it again, so today's caching took us through some trails in the woods- my favorite kind of geocaching. :)


Once again we found some pretty unique caches. Despite being in a location where you'd think this would be an easy cache, the hint was "Not a bison tube in a pine tree". Nope, it was a golf ball under the pine tree. ;)


I wish I'd gotten a picture of this one where it was: up on top of a tree branch. You tugged the piece of wood under it in this photo and it pulled the fishing line, releasing the actual cache from the tree. I'm short, so I needed my dad's help in grabbing this one, though. (That happens a lot- caches aren't always placed for short people.)


I absolutely loved this cache. The hint was "This one is for the birds!" so my dad and I both spotted this one at the same time:


This one was the black letters on the white background (turned out to be a magnet).


And this one was the last part of a pirate-themed multi. This was definitely my favorite of the day! The logbook was a map.


We also came across some neat architecture. This was what was left of a manor:


And this is the tiniest church I've ever seen. (The sweet story behind it can be found here.)


It also had a guard dog:


Along the way I made friends with a frog (toad?) and an inchworm. Here are both saying "hi":


And here are some pictures I took throughout the day.


(I love the "Please keep off tree limbs" sign. I know why it was there, though- I wanted to climb on those old, huge tree limbs!)
I'm trying to learn how to use my husband's camera, so I'm hoping to get better at photography as I go. Everything was so green and pretty that I wish I could share that!
