Carol and I went to Sherburne to geocache exactly three months ago. However, it was just too hot outside to walk around Rogers Environmental Center that day.
September 25, 2009 we made our second trip. Instead of eating out, we packed a lunch. I think the first place we stopped was at at consignment shop right on Main Street. After that we looked for a geocache called VETERANS WALK (hidden by Team Nightstalker) in a small park right at the four corners in the center of town. We looked all over, with no luck. We proceeded to another geocache hidden in a bell in front of a church, and we were successful. Close to that church, we had noticed an old schoolhouse (picture is up above on the left). We stopped to see that.
Then we went to the Rogers Environmental Center to find the cache we had planned to find in June. The name of it is GODZILLA. It was a gorgeous fall day, a bit on the warm side, but not terribly stifling hot like it had been in June. A nice walk in the woods, following the trail led us to the cache site, and Carol found it after a short search. It was not in very good shape, and I think it had been moved from its real hiding spot since it was laying out in the open. We signed the log and moved it a few feet so it would match the information and hint on the cache page. There was another cache hidden at Rogers, but we could not find the trail to it. We headed back to town and looked for three geocaches hidden by Team Nightstalker, but we did not have any success. Some of his geocaches have a difficulty rating of four, which is pretty hard, so I was not too surprised that we could not find them. It was fun looking! We did, however, have success finding HARVEY THE TROLL a cache by SIMMONS CREW. It was a "location" cache, which means there was not an actual box or container to find, but an interesting location. The location was a very picturesque bridge in Rexford Falls Park (the picture up above to the right is of the bridge at the park). All in all, it was a good geocaching day with three finds and four do not finds.

What I like about days like this is that we do a variety of fun things: shopping, geocaching, hiking, a picnic and sightseeing.
