A cache that caught my attention over the last couple of months is Three if by Land One if by Sea. I noticed the cache in October when it was a 5-terrain cache. I had wondered how would I get to the cache without the use of a kayak. I had read a log from one of the first going after the cache of looking for a place to launch a kayak and to no avail. Thinking, I would bring a kayak at some point, I looked at the aerial photos for a landing and did not see one. With that information, I knew it would have to an overland approach.
Made a drive by of the cache a few weeks ago and saw some parking on Huff & Puff road, near a skirtlifter cache. When I came be on 2/16/12 between appointments, I thought about parking at Huff and Puff road, but I saw it would be about a 1/2 mile hike and didn't see a geo-trail or any other trail into the woods, I was concerned. It also concerned me that I would enter the woods from a busy road where driver's seeing me could assume I was heading into the woods for a meth lab. I kept my search by road and found a park nearby. Drove to the park and was with .35 mile of the cache and could see a trail. I quickly went after that trail since my time was beginning to run short. The trail took me almost all the way to the cache. While on the trail, I observed the remains of an amusement park. Cachers on GOWT Facebook, mentioned the old park, in which, I had no memory of such park.
Made quick work of the cache and drove to the VA Hospital in Memphis for my appointment.

We also saw this cache on our recent adventures. It was getting a bit late for us to try to tackle it, especially with the rating. Perhaps another day!
We were out this past Saturday and saw this one pop up. It was an intriguing title for sure, but was a bit out of the way and a little late in the day for a cache of this rating. We did a tour down 64 and 100 around Toone, TN. Check out my blog on that if you want. brunofam3.blog.com.
