Dale had a jury-duty-free late morning. He thought he was going to be at the courthouse all day. So on the spur of the moment, we decided to resume our Tuesday Travels. This time we went south to Cottage Grove to drive around and do a little geocaching. We found five caches altogether. One of my favorites was at this statue of Harry Vardon at the Middlefield Golf Course. The statue is made of rusty nails!
A second fun cache was found hanging in a tree. The log container is stuffed inside this giant 4-inch fly that was zip-tied to a branch.
A third fun find was in a type of cache container I've never seen before. The cache owner used an owl-shaped salt and pepper shaker. The log was in a bison tube poked inside the shaker. The bison tube had a string attached that went through a hole in the owl's head and attached to the tree at the other end (so the owl couldn't "fly away," I suppose). I forgot to take a picture, but it looked a lot like this.
I was glad to be able to show Dale the covered walking bridge in downtown Cottage Grove. It's adorable.
After a good bit of searching, we found our last cache of the day there. We think we might have convinced a muggle to join the caching community!
For a day that started out cloudy and misty, the afternoon was sunny and spectacular. I do so love our #tuesdaytravels!
