Our Third Geocoin Contest Is Doing Well

It looks like the competitors are at each other's throats though...

Actually, the geocacher (seeker name: Flyingbird) in the middle was searching for the coin with the two other guys and he located it first. On the left is Captain Biggins and on the right is ariaandasa, Flyingbird's son.

Here is a shot of my having dropped off the coin in the puzzle cache. You have to decode a cipher in order to find the container. This is one of the things I like about geocaching, there are so many things to do and learn.

We found several flowers in a field next to the cache.

We liked this yellow one...

And this purple one was kinda special too.

So, here we are talking with the guys only a couple of minutes after they had found the contest coin and were trying to decide what to do next.

Since they were stomping around in our general neighborhood, we joined forces with them as they went looking for another cache container to drop the coin into.

At this spot, we saw something peeking at us.

When we looked in the birdhouse, it was this red-capped woodpecker. After getting the picture, we closed the door and didn't disturb it any further.

Here is the 'Mighty Trio', signing the logsheet for the cache on the side of the birdhouse post. Thankfully, we didn't have to wrestle the geocache container away from the woodpecker.

And of course, they had to take pictures of themselves in order to post it on the geocache web page.

After they were done with that, they handed the coin over to Captain Biggins for him to hide too. We're curious where the thing is going to end up...
