We just got back from a trip to Texas, and hunted for this one while in San Antonio. We didn't actually find the cache, but this log was hilarious and had to be published.

Let me set the stage: The CO for this cache allows finders to be able to log 2 smileys. The cache is meant to be yoga-themed, so you get one smiley for finding the cache, and then if you post a picture of yourself doing a couple yoga poses at GZ you can get another smiley.

bpmike found Trail of the Zodiac: Gemini (Traditional Cache) at 3/6/2012

Log Date: 3/6/2012

Interesting area. The coordinates were off a bit for us but after finding and seeing the cache condition we decided to replace. The lid is was chewed through. Practiced cito and with two heaping bag in the parking area now in my trunk. While put some of the trash in the trunk we found a subway bag that also consisted of the persons change. $4.18 to be exact. So for my son it really pays to clean up.

ruderat found Willowsippi WMA (Traditional Cache) at 4/10/2012

Log Date: 4/10/2012

After arriving at GZ, I scanned the area and confirmed that this was in fact the correct swamp. It had all the tell tail signs of a KB hide. Specifically, it had grass and a swamp. Luckily, this has been a dry spring, so the swamp part was only damp. Well, there was the one spot, but I found that right away and knew not to step there with my other foot. Reviewing the cache page, I noticed the cache was published in 2005. KB showed me an old GPS once that only had two digits rather than three and I wondered if that is what he used for this hide. Well, after wandering around GZ for an hour, I was sure that it was. It had been over 600 days since this cache was last found and I wasn’t about to give up on this lonely little thing. I looked high, I looked low. I looked in the grass, in the trees, in the brush and the moss. Just when I was about to give up, I remembered something my father taught me, and his father taught him. Something so simple that finding the cache was easy after that. I signed the log and replaced the cache as found.

Sharknose Bunnies found I-94 East Bound Rest Area (Big Spunk Lake) (Traditional Cache) at 4/24/2012

Log Date: 4/24/2012

In over 5,000 caches, I've never seen anything close to this. The log book is a 50-page notebook, and guess what? It's getting FULL! That's right, this cache is almost eight years old, and it still has the original logbook in it, in relatively good shape. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the oldest logbook currently in existence in the history of geocaching. Really.

Everyone should come see this logbook. (But bring a new logbook, as I had to write on the back cover of this one, and there are only a few more spaces before people start messing it up by writing in all the little empty spaces.) Run, don't walk. Thanks for the cache! (5123)

ctc128 found Mastermind (SD5) (Unknown Cache) at 5/1/2012

Log Date: 5/1/2012
Found this one about 7:00 A.M. on the last day of a week-long vacation in San Diego. Fun puzzle, vaguely reminiscent of GC11PYB. Beautiful location; I wish I hadn't been so pressed for time when I found it, but I had to get ready to go the airport. TNLN; TFTC.

Found this one about 7:30 P.M., after returning from a week-long vacation in San Diego. I believe this is the first time that both Mastermind caches have been found on the same day, let alone by the same cacher. Both of them are in great locations, and I wish I'd had more time to spend in each of them. TNLN; TFTC.

Just saw this log for a cache on my watchlist. Laughing

Log Date: 5/8/2012
Found this one with my brother after a few minutes searching, and in an unexpected place too. Fun find, except for the tool who decided to stop and demanded several times to know what we were doing. If I wasn't on public property, during park hours and minding my own business, I would have probably let him know we were just geocaching. But since I was, I told him that my business was most certainly not his business and he was free to get lost. Then he said he was calling the police. I said, "Yes, most loyal soviet concerned-citizen comrade," though I wasn't entirely that polite and there might have been a couple other comments. After I didn't give this total imbecile whatever reaction he was expecting, probably a tear-filled confession of my imaginary illegal activities, he slowly drove away. I suppose he realized that he probably wasn't going to be on TV as a neighborhood savior. I can only imagine the story he's since spun in his head about the incident. Idiot. Fortunately, he wasn't around for the find or the replacement, so the cache should be safe. TFTC!

One to add to the Favorites here. On a lunchtime run with FoundintheWild (he had previously experienced this one) but he let me do the work and I do have to say, a cache with this type of special tool of the trade always makes me happy. Thanks for the good work here, MNFishntz. From one fishing-themed cacher to another, my fishing-hat is tipped to you!"

Neat log, and we loved the last part!

Good-Boy found Hot Wax: Right Back Where We Started From (Letterbox Hybrid) at 7/1/2012

TNLNSLRoad is better but still 4WD required…an ATV would be great.
Log loader trucks are using the road to a large clearing at the end.
Nice hike and hide

Found the cache but it had been ‘bumped/crunched’ by a huge tree skidder. The last log said “Ooops sorry” Brian the logger had entered a note…As luck would have it Brian had just loaded his truck and I had a chance to talk to him. I also hit him up for a ride out in his huge truck! What a fun trip, Good-Girl was in shock when I returned to the entrance in a log truck cab…Certainly a FAVORITE cache for the memories.
