Wendy and I went out to attempt the Homeworld cache series last night but it proved itself to be a winter only cache such as the descriptions read. We thought there was a chance that we'd be able to follow the overgrown snowmobile trail but there was just too much water out there to get to them. We got within 450 feet before realizing that this just wasn't going to be possible. It was quite a 1/4 trek as on the way out, we didn't have the ability to really see the trail to follow so we were bushwacking through grass and bushes that were more than waist deep most of the way. I was really hoping we'd get to at least the first one as it was close to this nesting site and I wanted to get some close shots of the Osprey that called it home. No such luck.
We turned around and headed out to try from the other side to see if we'd have any more luck but ended up stopping in the Nature preserve for a newer cache that neither of us had been to as well as one that Wendy hadn't gotten yet. After getting a premium members only cache that showed up last week, we walked to the other side of the pond to get the Fields Pond Picnic cache. Wendy signed the log as she hadn't been to it yet and I took a couple quick photos.
On the way out, we ran into a pretty big doe. She looked at us and took off but not far enough where we couldn't still see her. I was able to get this shot but she didn't allow much any more. On our way out she spooked us once as she was walking towards the trail and turned around quickly and jumped off in the opposite direction. The picture is hard to see but kind of cool that the eyes glow like a cats in the flash.
