Yesterday, my good geo-friend and I headed out to finish something we had started about two months earlier. Today was the day that we were going to grab the Howard County ADC Challenge. We had spent a couple of trips grabbing different pages on for the challenge. But today was the day to go after the "Holy Grail."
Our day started in Crofton with finding a couple of caches there. Nothing too special about either of them but it gave us the chance to get out of the car for a little bit. We then grabbed a cache here and one there. I really enjoyed the location of "This Old House." It is amazing where geocaching will take you sometimes. Here was an abandoned stone house, under a highway over pass. Really a neat area.
From there we moved on to a couple of others, one of which turned into being my 1,400th find. The "Footsteps of AMS" was a multi cache that involved solving a puzzle at stage one to determine how to get to stage two. Kind of simple but really neat way to pull it off.
From there my friend and I pressed onto finding the "Final" challenge cache. It involved a really nice walk in a great park. The hide was not devious but it was not simple to grab either. Once we had signed the log we rejoiced and knew that this adventure was over, but another had begun. We found a new park to try and clear out...
