Old School and some others at Council Grove, KS

I was too busy to go anywhere this summer, but I'm back (I think)!

For the starter, I went to pay a revenge on Harmit's cave cache that I couldn't find in this spring, found it, and then found an old school cache, and since I was there, I went to pioneer nature trail cache which I really enjoyed the hike when I was there last time. Also, I had my friend with me who had not experienced the game, so, I thought it would be a nice one to get the feel of it.

I'm getting little too busy now a days to catch a cache. Boo-! Hopefully, I can get out from my office next weekend...

Manhattan, KS (Land of Ahhs!!)

I was thinking about going for at least one cache last weekend, but it got little too busy. And I was little too tired from my work and my allergy to enjoy anything, especially at outside. But fortunately, I still have previously found caches to be recorded in here.

This one is named the Land of Ahhs!! It is located at one of scenic outlooks of Konza prairie. It is a virtual cache (the one with a ghost icon). Make sure you write down or print out the questions to be answered before you go.

When I got there, it was still too early to enjoy green glasses (it was on April), but at this time of the year, it should be beautiful. Maybe I should visit again this weekend if I have a time.

Council Grove, KS (Hermit's cave)

A cache Hermit's cave is located around a historical landmark in a city of Council Grove, KS. An Italian hermit, Giovanni Maria Augustini was hiding in this cave in 1863.

I made an another mistake of not reading logs before you go to the location. Apparently, there was a change in hiding place of the cache. I spent more than 1 hour, but I just couldn't find it. I even wrote down the hint, so, I was so sure about the location...

Now I know the cache may have been moved, I will visit the location one more time later this summer.

Manhattan, KS (GeoSunset)

I got little too busy to update my blog. I don't have much time to go look for a cache either, but here comes one from several weeks ago.

There is a place called Sunset Zoo in Manhattan, and there are trails around it. The cache, GeoSunset Cache, is located in an off-trail location. You need to go about 100 yards out from the trail. You can go there from the top of the hill, but I recommend going down the hill following the trail, if you have time. It is a nice walk to a river.

Manhattan, KS: Mr. Roger's Neighborhood

I'm back in Manhattan, KS. No more city life. Oh, well. I better enjoy the mother nature instead. And I don't mind it at all. The spring is coming! ;)

The first one visit after I came back is called Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. What a nice naming! I don't want to give you a spoiler, so, I don't go into details, but the name was a huge hint for the location. It was located in a place I wouldn't go if there was no cache. It is an another good thing about geocaching. The game takes me where I wouldn't go normally.

SF trip (Golden Gate Park)

We decided to enjoy the downtown in the last day at San Francisco. After visiting Asian Museum, we went to Japan Town for lunch (syabu-syabu!) and tried to find Nihonmachi cache, but no luck. We spent quite a few time, but we just couldn't find it. I still wonder where it might be...


Then we went to Golden Gate Park. I didn't know what to expect in the park except for a few cache I wrote down on my notebook (my GPSr cannot import waypoints), but the park was great! We enjoy the view and we really wished that we had more time to enjoy conservatory of flowers and other amenities they have.

Over there, we found conservatory of flowers and pool of enchantment. Both are fairly small, yet not so difficult to find. Thanks for putting them in such a nice park!
