Geocaching Harry Strunk Lake - 4/10/12

Jake had to go to Cambridge for a service call for his job
so I tagged along.  And we found a few geocaches.
"First to Find" just east of Cambridge


Geocache named "J.S." just west of Cambridge along the road


A cache hidden in this stump I couldn't get out
until I pulled the plug up.
See below with plug in.


Geocache was in front of the plow

Nice walk bridge in Cambridge.  We couldn't find this one.

Found a lot of old ammo cans today

"The Tubes" south of Harry Strunk Lake
The geocache in the woods near here was far
enough off the coordinates it took us a while to find

Another ammo can cache just south of the Medicine Creek
Dam at Harry Strunk Lake

Jake below the dam

Jerry across from the top of the dam

Another cache along the lake




Small cemetery plot west of the lake
Jake found the cache

The geocache name is "Diptheria"

Cache at bridge over creek that runs into the lake

Found this farm east of the lake
When you find a cache you get a "Smiley"
on your geocaching map


We saw lots of pheasants and turkeys

This marker was for a cowboy that died in a gun fight
in 1879.  The geocache was in the cedar tree.

Another cemetery caceh

Just a few trips into the woods for geocaches.
Jake found the most ticks today.

Easter (The rest of the day) 2012

Mary's wild flowers

Minimum maintenance road
More like a path

We found the cache:  "Jeeper's Jaunt"


Cache here somewhere.
We didn't find it.

This turtle must have been a parade float


Park in Prosser.

Mary had to take a picture of these barns

Alumni center at Hastings College
With a geocache, of course.


Mary has been wanting to see this park at
Hastings College.




We needed this picture to complete a World Challenge.
