GEO-CLUE Part Deux

It was an iffy afternoon weather-wise when the Barker foursome took off for Ogden to complete the Geo-Clue game we had started two weeks earlier. But, never say die! We only got rained on at one cache, The Hall, but had to wade through tall, wet grasses at The Ballroom also. It was quite an adventure from the south end of Ogden to West Warren, then north to Willard Bay and on to North Ogden/Pleasant View before solving the mystery of who, with what and where. We had a fun time, including a stop for a snack at Wendy’s and then on to the final cache. Mr. Wonton Cache’n couldn’t seem to get his fill, so we visited one more cache in Farmington, just for fun, then came home for toasted tuna sandwiches while watching The Emperor’s New Groove.

The slippery slope at The Ballroom. It's steeper than it looks.
We were lucky to find a path leading down from "the drop off" to the "odd tree out."

3 geocachers on the path at The Ballroom.

Up a tree...literally! How convenient that the branches formed a ladder to the cache container hanging at least 10 feet off the ground in a scrub oak tree.

Success for Mr. Geo Idiot at The Hall at the south end of Willard Bay, in the rain and the very tall, very wet grass. The back roads to the cache got smaller and bumpier and muddier as we went.

Ah, blue skies and a white cloud on top of Mt. Ben Lomond in North Ogden at the Secret Passage.

Daddy and daughter...Wonton Cache'n...at the Secret Passage.

We discovered all the rooms, weapons, and suspects and collected 8 other clues along the way to figure out the final coordinates to the Geo-Clue cache. Hooray!

It was Mr. Green, in The Library, with the Candlestick.

The final cache was in a little thicket north of the McKay-Dee Hospital where Brie was born.

Just one more cache in back in Farmington.

Pretty classy geocoin, the Celtic Star, found at the Geo-Clue Cache...to be logged and moved on.
