Word went out for a geocache hike on a behind town "Charlie Hartie Creek trail" ... there are 3 caches hidden in this area!
After meeting at Charlotte Tire and admiring the beautiful day we headed up the hill ... up 6th and then up the trail ... an easily followed path ... with ribboning of various hues ... although we tried to follow the green! Success was ours ... at the first, and the second, but skunked we were at the third.
We did find the remains of a shelter as we hiked through the very long ago logged forest. We would stop in awe to view the sunlight filtering through the trees, and to catch our breath. When finally we reached the third spot, we hunted and read and reread the clues but no luck ............ and then it started to snow ... not flakes and not hail, but tiny soft silent balls ...
Then home to sew or for hot chocolate. Who knows what next we'll do ... cold weather coming!
This is a really lovely forest walk, close to town, big trees, lots of interesting vegetation and the sounds of the creek nearby! We'll be back for that third geocache too, No skunking us girls!
