This past weekend I went on a little road trip to go around and look for a few terracaches and a few geocaches. I 'm not sure how I got as far into Illinois as I did, but sometimes you just get going and notice another cache on the map that looks interesting. I really enjoyed this terracache called Hanover Bluffs. Also in the are is a geocache called Hanover Bluffs (GC). In the Hanover Bluffs area there was a geo pretty close to the parking area and the terracache was pretty far into the area.
I got a kick out of this sign as I started down the trail.
At this point in time I wasn't sure where you could swim. But as I got deeper into the area I did find a lake that I think they where talking about. I also found this little spot and decided to do a little skinny dipping. J/K
As I kept following the path, which seemed just to go downhill the whole time. I finally made it to a spot where I had to do some climbing to get to ground zero. Normally I would play billy goat but I had a head cold and every time I went up 10 feet up the hill I had to stop and catch my breath. Once I made it to ground zero, There was a lot of places to look. I spend the next 20 minutes looking for the cache but wasn't able to find the cache. Finally I decided to sit down for a bit and just relax. As I was sitting there, I looked over and noticed something, and sure enough it was the cache. I looked threw the logbook for a bit, and then signed it. I rehid the cache and started back down the the trail. I wanted to explore the area a bit more, and was walking along on the edge of the trail and almost tripped over a benchmark.
After that I walked around on the trails a bit and found where they where talking about no swimming. Finally it was time to head back to the car. Now since I went down hill the entire time on the way in, sure enough it was up hill the whole way out. But I really enjoyed this hunt. I just wish I wouldn't of had a head cold.
