The More I Cache, The More I Love It

So we've been caching the last few days for our holidays. And it's been taking us to some of the most amazing places. Like the first day, we ended up at the Serpent River Generating Station. Well this marvel was just amazing. They've constructed a wooden pipe to travel almost 1 mile through the woods from a lake above to the generating station down below. It's 9 feet in diameter, basically a huge barrel with steel straps to hold the wood together. There are some leaks here and there but it is completely full of water at all times. It's up north of the hwy a little ways, but never would of known about it if not for Geocaching. Even the guy at the campground we stayed at nearby never heard of it. Yesterday we saw some beautiful waterfalls and a bridge that was built in the early 1900's just off the highway, but never would of saw it without a cache being placed there. Saw some amazing beaches along Lake Huron, and there was not a sole around. And now today we were high above Lake Huron in Michigan,USA at Castle Rock. An amazing natural feature with an amazing view and history. Then we were at this old military museum. This place had so much history that it would take another lifetime just to digest. Then we were of to a cache I had no idea what it was about. Turns out it was some old army storage bunkers, well that just took us back to another place and time. These bunkers housed nuclear weapons and I was here today looking inside with no one around when it must of been well fortified at one time. These are just some of what a few days of Geocaching can bring, and the reason why the more I Geocache, the more I love it.
