Geocaching in Savannah GA

We found three caches today while visiting Savannah.   One was relatively easy; we just had to name something in an historic marker. The second one, we had a good clue - but, had to look around a bit to find it.  The thrid one was IMPOSSIBLE, until we found it - then we realized it was right in front of us all along, but even with a good clue we didn't see it.  But, we finally found it.

The day started off with a breakfast from this restaurant called Christopher-something (forgot the full name). It was very dog-friendly if you sat outside!





This wasn't my breakfast, it was my friend's.  Way too rich for my taste!





INTERESTING ART!





GEOCACHES


This one, called What the Heck is This Thing?, was incredibly hard to find, even tho if it was a snake, it would have bitten us.  It was hidden with some electrical stuff.  The clues were like "it blends in well with what's around it" and "there's a C on it". We passed it a million times, until we finally found it.

We were told it was hidden in this beautiful square.



This is an amazing piece of artwork in the square.



Now, this is where it was "hidden".  Not really hidden at all.  The the C was in the clue!!  Yet, we didn't think it would be with this electrical stuff so we didn't pay attention to it.  Duh.  So easy, after we realized it!






This second one, called Pitchin a Tent was hidden under a light near a marble bench.  There were very good clues for it, so it wasn't too difficult to find.






The third one was simple (called Washington's Neighbor).  We just had to name who was on the left of Washington (Webster) and who was on the right (Addison).  The medallions were easy to find; we were given very good clues.





Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. (It's a super-nerd scavenger hunt!)
