Well, our first try (and probably last since we are not locals) went bust at stage four despite two tries. Oh well, it just confirms my aversion to 2+ multi-stage caches. A lot of time, a lot of frustration.

Went twice before after stage 1 with no hint, and little ones to distract me. My daughter peed herself the 1st time. Rolled into the pond the 2nd time. She was with me today and announced she had to go #2 before I could find stage 1. I finally spotted it on the ground, and hauled @ss for the gas station. Figured out stage 4 location by the time I was on my way back. That's what I like about LJs puzzles, they're challenging, but I don't blow a cerebral cortex on them. When I found the site (note, no gate access needed) I spotted the likely hiding place and kept telling myself, "No, she couldn't be that cruel". I kept reading the clues and double checking myself. All signs pointed to the house of pain. I was surprised when I found stage 5 instead of 4. Took pill holder (stash box?) and play-doh, left 2 dinosaurs and 2 animals. Motogrrl was here. TFTC!

Started this one last month, but got rained out. Finished up today without any problem. Took the TB because it has been here awhile, left a chip clip. TFTC!

The ducks were cool!!! We fed them an entire bag of Fritos - probably not good for them :-(
I took a TB "Dory" from the cache, but she was never logged into it. I guess I'd better go grab her from the current holder.
