This weekend we ("we" being my dad) learned about a geocaching event at Kolomoki State Park (just outside Blakely, GA). The event was being held during the Kolomoki Festival. My dad and I packed up the vehicle (again, this was mostly my dad as I was still sleeping, after all it was 8:00 a.m...on a SATURDAY!) and headed north. Mom was attending a re-certification conference call for the American Cancer Society so unfortunately she could not come with us this time, and due to many people and dogs attending the Festival, we had to leave behind Allie (she was NOT happy about this).
Though we only saw 3 geocachers at the Festival (and they were the ones manning the geocaching tent), we had a great time! After talking to the 'cachers, we wandered around the festival for a bit taking in the sights, including some 'primitive' booths (aka wild animals, blacksmithing, the making of clothes, etc) and some old tractors. The tractors were really pretty neat!
After wandering around the Festival for a bit, we started our caching adventures. There is a trail at Kolomoki that has about 8 caches on it and the trail is about a mile and 1/4. Our trek was very successful! Well we didn't find one cache that was somewhere around a bona fide outhouse (the cache name was: P U Cache!).
After Kolomoki we headed back home; on the way stopped to find 2 new caches (we were hoping to get the "FTF"s)! And success! Both of us found one!
It was a beautiful day and we had a great time! It is nice to have the fall weather back so we can get out and cache!
