Lakeside, Ohio (Geocaching)

We just got back from a wonderful, relaxing week with family at Lakeside on Lake Erie. It was so beautiful up there and the weather was great the whole time, not too hot or cool and very little rain. We hung out at the beach some and the park, mini golfing and Shuffleboarding. But actually, Craig and I ended up doing a lot of geocaching there. Most of the time, we had Liam with us, so we took turns looking. I did really well finding some of the more easy ones. There were a few we missed, but most of them we got, 12 total.

A great place for geocaching was on Kelley's Island. We had taken the ferry over and looked at some historical/scientific places, glacial grooves and Inscription Rock (site of an Earthcache) and gotten something to eat. Everyone else was ready to head back, but we wanted to at least check out a few geocaches. The most interesting one by far that we found, took us to a spot inside the island that was very bizarre. There were painted rocks arranged in formations and what otherwise looked like just plain trash lying around. It is apparently some type of golf course that someone created known only as Kelley's Island Country Club, or KICC as the large boulder indicated. Anyways, we found this cache and got the heck out of there as it was starting to creep me out. I also learned about underwater geocaches, although we didn't attempt to look for this one. It was on private property for one thing, but I do think I would be awesome to wade through the lake searching for something attached to a rock at the bottom. And extremely awesome if you actually found it, maybe somday...This was difficulty level 4 out of 5. So that was the gist of our adventures on Kelley's Island.
