Happy Easter, You Fools!


Today was no joke - I released two geocaches, and they couldn't be more different!

PLEASANT RIDGE WORMHOLE 2018

For the third year in a row, Team Gates pressed us into service to hide the annual April Fool's Wormhole cache! Wormholes puzzles are prevalent in Southeastern Michigan - when you access the geocache page, if you click the image (like the one below), you will navigate to the next puzzle in a series. Each of our wormholes features a specific city in the area. 

I've had no finders to date.


Funny thing, though. See those Indians out front of Hedge's Wigwam? Years before I knew Hedge's ever existed, TaGeez and WikidKriket ran across one (Chief Pontiac) outside the delicious Clarkston Union and posed with it! Nice bonus to the cache page :)


Chief Pontiac with WikidKriket and TaGeez.



On the polar opposite side of the spectrum, this geocache isn't even hidden!



Yeppers! A Difficulty/Terrain 1/1 Large!




Not only that, but it's filled with stuff! As the sign says: 
This is not a "trade even or trade up" geocache. This is a "take it if you can use it" cache!  
This is how we recycle perfectly good stuff in Ferndale :) One man's trash....



Luckily, Tageez and I have really cool neighbors who will not only keep an eye on the house, but greet any new visitors to it. 


We weren't sure how the new neighbor from the North would take strangers showing up to our porch, but, when we told him about it, his face lit it! "Oh, you do that? I just saw that episode on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit!" Hey, maybe we can corrupt him!


Happy Easter, everyone! 
And don't let any fools get the best of you!

Surrounded by Wormholes!

What a hoot! The geocachers of Southeastern Michigan decided to have a little fun with our fellow cachers. For April Fool's Day 2016 we released the third installment of the infamous 'wormhole series'!

What's a wormhole? It's a geocache puzzle series. Click on the cache page image and you will navigate to the next puzzle in line. Team Gates lined up around 15 geocachers from the lower mitten (plus one Canadian thrown into the mix for good measure).

Click it! You've been wormholed!

This one's mine: Ferndale Wormhole 2016 GC6CKP6. Wanna hear the funny part? I've been waiting for months for this series to release only to discover another cacher created her cache page the exact same day as mine and her solve it identical. What are the chances? I guess 2 in 15.

No April Fools joke here!
