    Another gorgeous day in Atlanta! I drove my 53-03 Commemorative Edition Corvette in a parade this morning. When I got home, Rich called and off we went.

    I met him on the square in Decatur and we did (or tried to do) these:

      "Treasure and Scavenger Hunts....."

      This was the cleverest cache I've found. Yellow Jacket is an absolute wizard; I bow (deeply) before him. On the cleverness scale of 1 to 10 this one is a 10. Honestly!And it's a terrain=1 (less, actually)!

      "Hippie Tip"

      This one wasn't there. It's not that we couldn't find it (we couldn't) but a youngster who knew about 'cachin' told us it had been taken. He confirmed that it "used to be" where we'd concluded that it must be -- but it's gone now. Hope the owner puts a new one there; love to visit this unique spot again.

      "The Master"

      This one is in Oaklawn Cemetary (where a lot of famous people are buried). This person is one of the top one or two: Bobby Jones.

      "The Lyin' Cache"

      It's amazing what you can find in cemetaries. Nice virtual. Wasn't able to figure out the answer to the third question but hope the owner will give me credit for the first two.

      "A Key to Health"

      This one indicates that the area might be swampy. Heck, it appears to be in a FLOOD PLAIN!  Muddy, muddy walk (took me a half-hour to clean my boots) and reminded me to ALWAYS go 'cachin' with a garbage bag so the boots don't impact the auto carpeting on the way home.

      The clue was good and we found it handily.  T/L nothing (well, Rich did take a leak; I guess that counts as both taking and leaving something).

    Today brings my "found caches" count to EIGHTY-FIVE
