Knight in Shining Armor


Location: WW Knight Nature Preserve, Perrysburg, Wood County, OH
Planted By: Mom and kids
Find Date: 6/3/2007
Find #: 64

Comments: Another box found on the way home from the gathering. Cool nature preserve! We "broke the law" and continued on the boardwalk even though there was a "closed due to flooding/repairs" sign blocking the way. We didn't run into any problems, though. Found a Detroit Tigers hitchhiker. After we found the box, we went back into the nature center to look around. There was a sign in there that all of the trails are under video surveillance! I wonder if they caught us on camera going past that sign or stamping in??? Yikes! No one yelled at us, so if they did catch us on tape, they didn't watch in in real-time. Not to gross you out, but beware of the goose poop while you're here! It's everywhere!

Time Waits for No Man

Location: Mystery, Macomb County, MI
Planted By: DoubleDragon
Find Date: undisclosed
Find #: 24

Comments: Lots and lots of pre-find work on this one, but well worth it. DoubleDragon planted this especially for me! Okay, not really. She had it ready to plant and hadn't gotten around to it. But since I posted a note on the Great Lakes message board specifically looking for a cemetery box in this area, she was motivated to get the clues posted. The stamp is awesome. I highly recommend this box! Found the Snappin' Memories hitchhiker in this box, too.

Intrigue at Aiden Lair


Location: McCourtie Park, Somerset Center, Hillsdale County, MI
Planted By: Munchkin Stamper (The Four Clovers)
Find Date: 10/14/2006
Find #: 13-17

Comments: This is an awesome 7 box series. Box #2 was reported missing before we went there. We found 5 of the active 6 boxes, but we're about 99.9% sure that the unfound box (#3) was also missing. This is the coolest place I've seen. I highly recommend this series. The clues are very creatively written to make it seem like you have 4 other buddies with you on the find. The park is incredible and according to local legend, haunted. Found the "Get Your Kicks" Hitchhiker in box #4. It was an unseasonably freezing cold day when we were there. Had to be overly patient as we were being "followed" from "landmark to landmark" by a couple being photographed. There's supposedly a geocache really close to one of the boxes in this series but we couldn't divine our way to it.

Michigan Hitchhiker Hostel


Location: Mystery, Oakland County Michigan
Planted By: The Cichlid Guy
Find Date: (undisclosed)
Find #: 4

Comments: Really clever clues for this location, PoPo figured out where to go. Very cool stamp! Much longer walk than I expected. We went here specifically to find our first hitchhiker and were bummed to find none in this box. Someone didn't read the rules! Bastards. ;)
We did leave one behind, anyway.
