Minesing Delight

Took another trip into the Minesing swamp this spring. There was a discussion on the COG forums about going into the swamp in a small armada of canoes to seek out the geocaches that I had put in there. It took alot of planning and many people had to back out after the realization that it really WOULD take the entire day to canoe the 24km journey down the river.

So early morning Saturday we set off. 2 Canoes, 4 People. Scott and I shared the old red battle canoe, while Pat and Mark shared the Blue Peterborough Express canoe. Other then discovering a new subspecies of groundhog (the Arboreal Minesing Treehog) it was a rather uneventful trip with great scenery to admire. We found all the caches, safe and sound! well relatively safe.. Of the four of us, only 1 managed to stay out of the river. And a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are the pictures of the trip!
