My twelve kay tribute cache.


My friend Dick was nice enough to name a cache in recognition of my obsession with geocaching, Congrats Jac0b 12000/1800 because I recently found my 12,000th geocache and hid my 1,800th. Jay and I talked about going up to get it together because he just loooooves to be the first to find a cache and it ended up that Dick was free to come with us too. The find was simple enough, it was at the start of the road we took on our recent adventure to Mollies Nipple. That many geocaches is a lot of memories, most have been with great friends and I am so thankful for my caching friends. I could never name them all. I am sure I will have many more than 12,000 finds coming in the future and thousands more hides as well.

It is really pretty up there in the hobble creek/diamond fork loop area, I have really been enjoying exploring it.




After that find we continued down the road and found another cache Dick had recently hidden, Timber Mountian. It was a beautiful mountain top that we were almost able to drive to the top of, the walk was easy and I enjoyed the quiet breeze and sounds of birds and bugs.




From there we decided to try to go to the top of nearby Pumphouse Hill, my lazy self decided it would be more fun to bushwhack in the Jeep then to hike, even though it was a lot longer. It got dark on the way up but we had a lot of fun and Dick hid a cache there too.
