LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE THE STATE PARKS SERIES!
TaGeez and I were in the area for the All Michigan (Quilt) Shop Hop and visiting whiskey distilleries. It was too late for one and too early for the other. So, time for us to geocache! We had a great time grabbing 4 more state parks - all in the middle of Michigan!
MSPGT2-SL: Lake Ann Pathway GCAPW40
We had a fear that we would revisit the same parks as the last tour, but this was another example of "off the beaten path" and "new to us". As we made our way to the GZ, we were transported back to a more rural time during Michigan's lumber days - unfinished roads, trees crowding our path, and nobody for miles!
Admittedly, this is NOT what we were expecting to find here! What a hoot!
It feels like extra efforts were made to hide really interesting or creative caches this round!
MSPGT2-SL: Mitchell State Park GCAPW43
We woke early in Traverse City and headed to Cadillac. Lovely area surrounded by lakes, and we started this adventure by communing with nature lakeside.
Then we got down to business!
First, we headed down the wrong path. Then we found the right path, but so did all the skeeters! Finally, we found the container and had fun opening it up!
Then off to Burke's Waterfront Restaurant for breakfast! What a view!
MSPGT2-SL: North Higgins Lake State Park GCAPW44
We were heading from one quilt shop to the next on this gorgeous day, and we decided to detour here for the state park cache. Stunning weather - sun on our faces - such a great day to be out!
Quick find of the container right off the parking lot, but it took us a little longer than necessary to open it. I think we would’ve been faster if we had both hadn't been standing on the same side. Good fun! Great gadget cache!
MSPGT2-SL: Tawas Point State Park GCAPW4D
We had finished the North zone of the shop hop, which ended about 2 miles from here. We were excited to detour here to end our day.
Lovely walk down the trail, so many birds! We had a quick find at the GZ. Container was FILLED with ants! Wowwee! We signed very quickly and headed out.
This is one of our favorite parks, and a beautiful way to end our adventure.
We wrapped the day by sitting lakeside and eating cherries before turning home.
