that you can't swim in lake auburn. went for a good long bike ride this morning and decided to go down whitman spring road in search of caches GCY6DN & GC1C0PW...the first cache, GCY6DN, life's a beach,
was just down a ways from where i got on to whitman spring road. i rested on a rock looking out at the quite lake while letting the gps lock in to some satellites. followed a nice path down to a beautiful beach where I quickly located the cache! signed the log and sat there a while admiring the view.
then it was back on my bike and further down the road. which is more like a trail because unauthorized vehicles are not allowed on it, which is nice for bikers, walkers, runners, and taking the dog for a jaunt. there are a few gates shutting the road off to car traffic.
couldn't find GC1C0PW, corner rock, wasn't on any sort of trail at all, just in the middle of nowhere, at least that's what my gps said.
it looked like someone or something had maybe bushwacked in the area but couldn't really tell. no one has actually found the cache since may 2nd so i am wondering if its still actually there. i went through the logs on my cell and most of them commented on the
poor shape of the cache, waterlogged and all. one also said that they bushwacked around a bit then looked at the name of the cache, corner rock, and was able to find it. i went to pretty much the only rock in the area but couldn't find it. i did see an empty zip lock baggie though. my thought is that the cache was there but has since been destroyed, why else would there be a ziplock baggie in the middle of nowhere? so i couldn't find the cache but i did find this cool old wine (?) bottle on my way to the area.1 for 2 kinda stinks, but at least the logs for the second one weren't really positive so i didn't feel that it was too bad. it was a nice 2 hours of biking and caching.
some more photos from my am adventure:
