Well they kept on saying why don’t you go and get an account because you are out with us any way so why not log them also and get the smiley. So here I am now signed up with Geocaching .com and I may not have not logged many finds but I have found my share. Now I know how TinkerBelof7 and BuddySally think. So TinkerBelof7 and BuddySally here is my take on a park and grab. Enjoy the fun.</p> </groundspeak:long_description> <groundspeak:encoded_hints>swiss army knife will not work.

Was a fun run and while mostly park and grabs, the "grab" wasn't always easy. Most were well hidden and camoed. Not at the first tree we checked but of course at the second wetter tree. Fun container to open with of course a "twist" to find and sign the log. SL. TFTC.
