Adventure....Part Two

When we last left off we had just finished mountain climbing at a nearby state park in search of the illusive geocache. Six miles up and down hills with no paths and we were ready for more.

There was another hidden treasure a few miles away so we jumped into the truck and headed out for part of the Swan Lake Wildlife Refuge about two miles from our home.

We parked the truck and headed off into the woods. Hmmm, this was beginning to look like the experience we just had at the last place we searched. We kept going and adjusted our path a bit and determined the location must be across a gravel road and up some BIG hills.

Up the hills we climbed, or crawled at times. It finally leveled out and the GPS was counting down....10 feet, 9 feet, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1....Will you look at that....I think we found something!


Yup....this is what we were looking for.



Ah yes...success...I felt good!

By now the shadows were starting to get long and the sun was making it's way down past the horizon so we thought it prudent to head back through the woods so we could get back to the truck before dark. The coyotes were starting their nightly serenade so we knew it was time.

All total, we hiked 9.63 miles and in spite of that, we felt pretty good.

Tune in again soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
