Geocaching: Dark Hollow Capers

We were at The Library of Yahtuul cache so we decided to skip over to Dark Hollow Capers. This was really close to Yahtuul and it was an easy way to grab two caches at once.

The hardest part of this cache was getting across the stream. We ended up taking our shoes off and wading across. We couldn’t find a bridge anywhere. There were a lot of kids wading around and catching minnows and salamanders.

We climbed up the hill and didn’t really have any trouble finding it. There were some people milling around so we tried to be discreet. We took the ‘Three Aces’ (flag) travel bug and a Luis Gonzalez bobblehead. Left a RAM keychain, Canadian penny, and a guitar pick.

p> Be careful in this area if you seek out the cache, we saw a snake sunning itself on the rocks on the way back down the trail.

Geocaching: The Library of Yahtuul

We found this cache in Penn Hills Park. This cache was a ‘Book Cache’, meaning you take and leave books. A nice way to exchange some things you’ve already read.

We looked for this one for about 20 minutes. It was in a place that Matt had already checked, but since this was his first time I double checked the area and it turned up(spoiler). Unfortunately, Bridget lost her sunglasses on thiss one. So if they turn up, I hope a cacher would please grab them and contact me.

p>We found this one around 1:30 or so. We left Harry Potter & The Sorcerers Stone and took The Physics of Star Trek.

Geocaching: Where the Salamander Swims

We found this cache in Salamander Park over towards Fox Chapel. It was a beautiful trail to the cache and the find only took about 4 or 5 minutes. Team Willow picked a great location for this one.

The cache contained some odd things though. There was all the standard kinda stuff, trinkets and the sort. But there was about a dozen metal nail files and a box cutter. These seem kind of dangerous to put in a cache given some of the small kids that would go for this one. The box cutter was broken and the bladed was falling out so we capped it and threw it in the trash.

p>We found this one around 5:30 or so. We left a Luis Gonzalez Bobblehead and a RAM keychain and took a Rubik’s Cube and yellow bandana.

Kiddie Porn and President Bill Clinton

Now that’s comedy!

A prominent Republican fund-raiser who once said former President Bill Clinton was “a lawbreaker and a terrible example to our nation’s young people” pleaded guilty yesterday in Baltimore Circuit Court to production of child pornography.” [source]

Travelin’ Soldier


Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He’s a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin’ down for a while
And talking to me,
I’m feeling a little low
She said I’m off in an hour and I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don’t care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

CHORUS
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin’ for the love of a travelin’ soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin’ for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier’s coming home

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it’s getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin’ down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don’t worry but I won’t be able to write for awhile

CHORUS

One Friday night at a football game
The Lord’s Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

CHORUS
