October 26, 2013 - Geocaching to Johnson Lake


Our first find of the day in Eddyville and we
were the First to Find this new one.


Just a little obvious.


A multi-cache north of Lexington.  The coordinates
for the second stage were painted on the back of the sign.


The coordinates of the final stage were painted on this pipe
almost 2 miles away from the first location.


The third and final stage where the geocache was hidden.

Contents of the cache.

Small geocache container on a tree branch west of Lexington.


Another geocache at a historical site north of Johnson Lake





Strange geocache container at Johnson Lake.
It is an empty artillery shell.

Another interesting geocache at Johnson Lake.
Ammo can full of yellow key holders.

The official log sheet is in one of them.
There were other interesting items in some of the others.



Mary found this bird of paradise.
Geocache container stuck inside it.

We walked right over this one a couple of times
before we finally lifted the lid and found the cache.






Geocache in a fake bird feeder.  The guy that made it lives
across the street at Johnson Lake.  He came over and
talked to us for a while.

Jetty by the Johnson Lake Marina.

Geocache near the jetty.  Called "Jettysburg"

This one is called:  "Little John"
It is about 2 foot tall.

The log sheet was in there, of course.

Mary's favorite of the day called:  "What's for Dinner"

55 - Alex Eckert Jr. is a long time geocacher
we have met at events.  He lives near Juniata but has
a cabin on the lake.


The container was missing and the contents of the baggie
were completely soaked at this geocache in the woods
by Johnson Lake.


Where's Mary?
Lost in the woods.
If you look close you can see her just left of center.

Here she comes.

Walk bridge over the railroad tracks at Lexington.

Nice view.
