The Search for Planet X: Comet Elenin by nikcap
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. At this point, I was really enjoying my walk. Wow, that's quite a big high school! It was around this point that I started to notice the variety of colored blazes painted on the trees. Sort of confusing...some seemed to be very lightly used trails. The leaves were thick on the ground which made route finding a little bit harder. TFTC. mjp303



The Search for Planet X: Nibiru by nikcap
Size: (regular) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. The clue pattern had started to reveal itself, so I wasn't worried about the one I missed earlier. This cache was a bit of a climb! Fortunately I am tall enough that reaching it was no problem.

The Search for Planet X: Sagittarius A* by nikcap
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. It took a bit of extra wandering around to find this cache...perhaps my widget's battery is getting weak? I wanted to climb to the highest point, but was worried I would run out of juice before I got to the final. TFTC. mjp303



The Search for Planet X: Nemesis by nikcap
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. I passed some sort of Boy Scout project on the way to this cache: it was a really high fence around a small plot. It doesn't seem that the deer are having much impact on the forest at all.

I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. Very nice to be alone in nature on a rather brisk day! TFTC. mjp303



The Search for Planet X: - Final Location - by nikcap
Size: (regular) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. What a fun series! I sure am glad I didn't have to search for this cache in the summertime! Batteries in the widget died just as I got close to GZ. Fortunately I was able to finish without it. Ok, off to the airport now! TFTC. mjp303



The Search for Planet X: Tyche by nikcap
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
I had a bit of extra time before returning to the left coast, so I decided to take a walk in the woods. Thanks for providing a route to tour Thompson park. My initial approach to the cache was problematic, so I circled a bit before finding a better way. I found the cache on the ground in a place that is likely to collect water, and so moved it to a drier spot just 4 feet higher. I was a bit concerned in not finding the code, but decided to press on anyway. TFTC. mjp303
