'Caching all the way home


We had a good time in Indiana, and were especially grateful to be able to stay where there is central air.  I've been having a horrible asthma attack for about 3 weeks now, and it is obviously somehow related to the extreme temperatures and humidity we've been enduring.  Being in the air conditioning as much as possible here has helped.  We even stayed an extra day because we knew it would be the hottest it's been all summer when we got back home.  

On our way home, we decided to take our time (and stay in the air-conditioned car) and stop for some geocaches along Route 24 on the way.  Our first stop was just outside Wabash, at this lovely tucked-away spot called Possum Hollow.  It was so peaceful there, and felt like we were back in the time of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Another of our stops was by the "Old Man in the Stone" in downtown Monticello, Indiana.  This was from the original courthouse there in town, and we thought it was pretty cool looking!

One of our finds was this itty-bitty magnetic cache container!  It wasn't even half an inch long, and the log was a tiny strip of paper rolled up very tightly inside.  Nifty!

It was neat to stop and go a little farther into some of the places we've been driving past several times a year for the past 9 years.  Geocaching has been such a cool adventure for us this summer!
