A walking tunnel under the four lane highway
all painted with pictures of doors from stories

Historic building we needed a picture
for a geocache.

Very nice houses in the area

We were having trouble trying to get this open
and the owner's daughter came along and helped us.

The roof of the little library box is
full of geocaching items to trade.

We had figured out the key was behind 
this door on the back of the little library.

Signed the log sheet for another event.

More beavers

The band under the cap is actually

goes around your wrist and had a 
log sheet inside.

trash around the park.
