Life Is Good
Picked up Colsyn this morning and we headed back to that graveyard. Found it right off. That Colsyn is a great little geocacher. We think that we make a good team.
This graveyard is 200 years old. I think it is one of the oldest I have found with readable grave markers.
As we pulled the bug out of the graveyard Colsyn was hollaring "grandpa grandpa, eagles". I said "oh, where?". He pointed and there they were, two of them soaring over us. We stopped and watched them for a few minutes. If you click up the picture you will see one in the clouds. They got much closer but I missed the shots. No doubt they were bald eagles. We were about 8 miles northwest of Bloomfield.
So, off to a Civil War Cemetary next. It is cool. They have a couple hundred graves, just east of Bloomfield. Teri and I had hunted this cache before with no luck. Colsyn brought me luck today.
Colsyn, who is home schooled, got a lesson on the civil war today. Also he learned about two of his great great, 5 times, grandfathers that fought. They were father and son. Father was killed in a battle near Columbus, Ms. and is burried in the Confederate Cemetary there. The son was shot but survived. He is burried in Hamilton, Alabama.
So, Colsyn was really pumped. He found 2 caches that grana could not find. He had to have more. We came home and found 5 in Poplar Bluff to chase. Off we went, 30 miles west, in the bug. Here is the first one. Disguised as a water sprinkler. I like this kind of hide.Left and headed to the train depot. Searched for 20 minutes and no luck. Time to move on.
Grabbed one under a bridge in Clinton park then headed south.
Looks like the shutter did not open all the way. Here Colsyn is showing the one in the old phone booth. this was in a park where his mom and uncle played lots of baseball as kids. Brought back lots of great memories for me.
Our last one of the day. Colsyn wanted me in a picture so he shot this one. We had a ball today. Found 6 all together. These were scattered over 45 miles apart. That is a good day.
I also got one side of the GMC polished and half the roof washed so I had a good day. Hope you did too. We get our granddaughter for the night after church. Marci Claire, Colsyn's sister is coming. She loves doing crafts with grana.
