GEOCACHING WITH MY BUDDY MICKIE. 

Yesterday I spent the day geocaching with my buddy Mickie  in Michigan's "Thumb" 

Here are some of the scenes along the way. 

Bales of Straw

Michigan's first Wind Farm called "Harvest Wind Farm" outside of Elkton, MI


Did you know ?

Elkton, located near the center of Oliver Township, was first known as Oliver Center. The village was founded in 1886 by W.J. McGillivray, a blacksmith, who built the first house here. It was renamed Elkton to commemorate his killing a huge elk entangled in his wife's clothesline.

Mickie is posing for this Earthcache.
There is no actual container at this cache but instead geological information.
 This is at a Flowing Well near Elkton
but on this hot and humid day the well was dry as a bone and Mickie and I were both wishing for a nice cool drink of water. When I was a kid we had a flowing well on our farm and it was the best and coldest water.  

Forgotten Soule.
This little country cemetery is overgrown and long forgotten.  

Tiger Lilly
If you look closely on the lower right petal you can see a
yellow spider called a crab spider.
These spiders change colors to match the color of the flower they are on. 

Great Fire of 1881
This historical site had a cache nearby. One of the reasons
I love caching so much is all of the interesting places I get to visit.
Interesting information on the Red Cross.
