Geocaching on Valentines Day

Took some time today to do a bit of caching.  Here's the adventure:

DALE #12 (STOW) - Found it.  SL/TFTC.  Took "Country Club Hills, United States of America" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug.  Park and grab.  Like the other "Dale" caches this is at a veterans memorial.  Always moving.

I finally hid a lame roadside micro - DNF.  I've been meaning to stop for this one for some time and finally got around to it today.  DNF.  I suspect this is muggled again.  There was a stunning amount of trash at GZ.  I filled a bag but there is lots more.

Which Way Do We Go? - Found it.  SL/TNLN/TFTC.  Gates Pond is another walk I've been looking forward to.  Today was a good day for it.  Good plowed parking.  The trails were reasonably clear today and I quickly walked in to 'Which Way'.  The trail is really lovely and the pond views very nice.  There were many people out walking, most with dogs.  Got to GZ quickly and found cache.  It's in good order.  It's an easy hide but not particularly snow friendly.  No snow today though so an easy find.

Jodi's Cache - Found it.  SL/TNLN/TFTC.  Continued hiking clockwise around pond.  Grossed the dam.  On a bright sunny day the snow cover on the pond was very striking from the dam.  Continued on to 'Jodi's'.  It seems to be about half way around.  Easy find but I suspect the coordinates are a bit off as I found it about 30' away at N42 22.5022 W071 36.7093.  Good hide but not snow friendly.

Good day to be out with 3 finds and 1 DNF.  Walked almost 4 miles most of it around Gates Pond.
