What beautiful day to be out geocaching! We left home around 9:30am, and headed towards Hinkley. Our first cache was a small memorial park in Cloverdale. From there, we went to St. Croix State Park. It was a perfect morning. This one was 3 stages, and an easy walk and find.
Next, we set our car GPS to take us to Wild River State Park. Well, we had an adventurous tour down some dirt roads, and ended up by a sign that said "Wild River SP", but it was definitely not the main gate. So, we followed our own intuition, and got to the right place. This park is one of our least favorites. So we ran in and out at quickly as possible.
Next stop - Interstate State Park (by Taylor's Falls). This was a nice easy one.
But, that was the last of the easy. After a detour through the cities to drop of my snowmobile jacket, we tackled Afton State Park. This park has thrown us for a loop in the past. But we were ready for this one. We found the first two stages easy enough, but #3 had stopped us in our tracks. We looked high and low, but it was no where to be found. But, with the flood, we figure #3 is long gone. So, we'll have to come back to this park again.
We finished our day by traveling to Rochester. We found a really cool place for supper. Adam had a Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger!
Tomorrow's plan: Carley, Whitewater, Forestville/Mystery Cave, Lake Louis, Killen Woods, and hopefully Blue Mounds. We hope to make it across the bottom border of the state.
