Payson Caching

JAC0B found Bush Goblins part 1: The Bushening

I looked for this one last night but the coordinates were off, I thought about checking the bushes where it ended up being... but in the dark and just going on a guess I decided not to, I came back after I saw the coordinate update and I found it along with Brandon Miller's homework assignment

JAC0B found Green Woodpecker

N 40° 03.068 W 111° 43.366

I had tried this one and the other new one in Payson (Bush Goblins part 1: The Bushening) last night in the dark, both were unsuccessful attempts, both had bad coordinates, this one not so bad... I came back during the day today and was able to find both very quickly!

The container was a "fake" sprinkler stuck in a hole in the ground, clever but also common.

JAC0B found Loafer Cache

I have been wanting to drive up Payson Canyon, it has been a while. I ended up meeting up with my friend Melissa down in Payson and we went for a drive and got a few caches, it was her first experience geocaching. I let her find this one. It was in a really pretty area.

JAC0B found In the Trees

Melissa and I stopped by this one after finding "Loafer Cache" just up the road, it took a while to spot, we were down below it and finally I looked up and saw it there. We came back up and around and got it and then moved on, this is a very pretty area.

JAC0B found 7000

Melissa and I stopped at this one on the way down too, right after finding "In the Trees." This cache was sitting on the ground instead of hanging in the tree like the hint said so I fixed it.

JAC0B found Crime Prevention

Driving down the canyon with my friend Melissa, grabbing the caches that are close to the road. We stopped for this one. Nice cache in a nice spot.

JAC0B found Ski Camp

I have been meaning to get this one for quite a while, it is close enough to the bottom of the Canyon that I see it on the GPS when I cache in Payson, but I never took the time to come get it. Nice hide, bigger than I expected it to be.

JAC0B found The shortcut.

I was on my way home from caching in Payson and Payson Canyon with Melissa and decided to stop for one more.. I don't think I've seen a powerbait container used as a cache container before, I guess it would be a good one though

JAC0B found Sick & Psycho (Oh My Oh My)

I was headed home from a fun day of Geocaching and noticed this still hadn't been found, I decided "one more won't hurt" and went out of my way to go get it, it wasn't where I thought it would be... guess I should pay more attention
