Yup... I only got FOUR out of FOURTEEN....

We were in Illinois visiting family - and I took an afternoon off to go out and do some GeoCaching.  I had downloaded over 40 caches into the GPS - and was hoping to hit a LARGE number of them.  Once I set out, and started looking - I ran into problems with snow cover, and the placement of a large number of the caches - which seemed to be in open areas around public spots - that sure made me feel like I would be seen as some "suspicious person", and perhaps draw some unwanted or unneeded attention to myself...

Here is what I DID find... (with one exception)

GC1DY65 - Indian Bluff (Find #125)
This is my first "Interstate" find! I was in town visiting family, and HAD TO take some time out for GeoCaching! Dropped a TB! TFTC!  I dropped TB2K66K - Cub Scouts pk 281 Den 2 in this cache.
On a side note to this cache, I did get a very nice email from the owner of this cache, asking me about the condition I found it in, and wishing me a safe journey home... Very nice!
GCJXK6 - Sinnissippi Park Cache (Find #126)
In town visiting family and took some time for some GeoCaching! TNLNSL - TFTC!
DNF (The only one I logged.  I checked for this one for a while..) In town visiting family and took some time for some GeoCaching! GZ on my GPS put me in the middle of several good possibilities - but with the snow cover - I did not have much luck... Maybe next time I'm in Illinois! Thanks Anyway!

Robin's Creek Wetlands - GC1YNJY

Coordinates were spot on... and a good thing too! A fresh blanket of snow would have made finding this cache VERY difficult! Thankfully there was a teeny bit of "geo beacon" sticking out of the snow TNLNSL - TFTC!!
