Faith Restored…. but not the Temperatures

Last night we were advised to keep one of the water taps running slowly due to the risk of freezing water lines. We woke up to a cloudy cool day, around 2°C with a forecast high of 8. Not as warm as we would like, but still way warmer than home.

During breakfast Lyn noticed something that looked like ice around the water tap on the site next door. My first response was “don’t be silly”! After breakfast I went across to the site, and sure enough there was ice around the tap area which had formed after staff had opened up the tap slightly last night.

Again we had hobby stuff to do in the trailer while we let the temperature warm up. After lunch we decided to head down to Jekyll Island and see if we could find some more caches. The first stop was at the entrance to the causeway,  this was meant to be an easy find. We looked around and found nothing. Finally Lyn said there was a box under a bush, but it looked like an electrical box as there was a large wire coming out of it, in fact the wire was being used to anchor the box to a tree to stop it walking away! We had found our first cache of the day.

We went on to the island to look for four more caches and found 3 of them; the one we didn’t find had a difficulty level of 5/5 so we weren’t too upset at missing it. Many of the caches on the island are hidden close to walking or bike trails, so we get off the beaten track looking for them. Today we managed to get in at least a 1.5 miles walking hunting down the caches.
