Next time you are In Stanford, Connecticut on Weed avenue stop by and get #1,000,000 while gazing upon Holly Pond.

Since I railroaded this thread off of it's original topic, I will bring it back.
Today we found GC36 Geocache 612. It was hidden on 8/21/2000. I hadn't seen anyone mention that one in this thread. It is the second oldest in MI, and it is only about 4 hours north of here. We felt that it was appropriate that we made it our 612th find!

The things a person can do with numbers, pretty neat Handyman & Fam. Did you check the time when you signed the log? Maybe it was 6:12.

It was in the vicinity of 9am. I think someone had found it a 6:12.

Are you sure a ghost didn't follow you from "Family Affair"?

If a ghost followed me, I hope he changed out the container when he was done! If I had known the owner was inactive, I would have replaced it with a small lock & lock that was in the trunk of the car! Hopefully someone steps up and saves this old cache!

On our way down to Bowling Green, KY we did the oldest cache in Kentucky. "Tom Sawyer" in Louisville. Didn't know until later it's now the oldest we've found.

We wanted to take a pic there of beautiful scenery like the oldest in Pennsylvania. This is the best we could do.

The leaves aren't changing as much there as they are here!

Dunno what was happening there, but they were changing all along 65 south through around the Mammoth Cave area. BTW, we won't tell Mina you thought the leaves were the only noteworthy thing in the picture.

Well I think that Mike was probably actually taking a picture of the jogging chick and not Mina. LOL!
Good Luck & Happy Hunting!

Prior to this weekend, my oldest cache was the oldest active multi-cache in Michigan, GCCE1 - 2 Bridges Cache

After this weekend, my oldest cache is the oldest in Indiana, GC93 - Indiana's First
