"Cachier," says I, "It's
gonna hit 50° today - we gotta get out." And so, we did, to
a beautiful hill up over the west sideof the Susquehanna, right around
Harding.
|
It was a beautiful spring day, and after
suffering terminal cabin fever since back around Thanksgiving,
it felt great to get out. The blue sky seemed to be reflected
in the snow.
Some little creature preceded us
up the hill, but I don't think he was looking for the cache. If
he was, he was way off the mark. Perhaps the batteries in his
GPS were low.

There's nothing quite
as satisfying as seeing last year's leaves slowly emerging from
under this year's snow.
 |
|
Getting to the cache was pretty easy. Finding
it was an entirely different story because it was covered
with snow. But we did, of course. We always do. Well, almost
always.

|

A very happy hiker. Spring will come again!
|

But not for a while.
| And then, since
we were flush with victory, we decided to do another one.
In Kirby Park, so how hard could that be? Well, it
was under one of those rocks. Took us a while to figure out
which one, but we did. |

So nice to be back in the groove! Come along next
time, you'll enjoy it!
