Let's Go Find Some Hidden Treasure!

 

An unlikely spot at the Ophir Cemetery!  Doug grew up just a few miles around this and lived around it for more than 15 years, and never even knew there was an Ophir Cemetery! 

This headstone dated back to 1857 and was the most visible headstone there. There were only a handful of graves there (maybe 10-15) and most were like the one below:

Or this one which didn't even have writing at all:

We did finally find the cache hidden below: See the small canister in the middle of the tree?

 

We then went over to a new regional park in Auburn called Hidden Falls where there are 1200 acres of countryside trails, rivers, and of course, some "hidden" waterfalls. Below are a few pics of the countryside, which these pictures really don't do justice as to how nice and beautiful it was!

There are over 25 caches so far in this park and the park is only a few months old!  We only focused on two this time out, as some are really involved.

 

This jagged rock was along the trail, and although we didn't find this one online as a place where a geo was, Meghan said "I bet there is a geo in there somewhere!" Shelley agreed so we went back to look at.

Sure enough, there was one in there!  When we got home, we tried to look it up and find it, but we couldn't find it anywhere, so this one was a bonus!
