My Experience:

Casey and I took a Saturday and we tried using the Geocache app on my phone to locate the caches. We started off at a near by park in Sanford and we were really excited that we picked a beautiful day for this experience. We decided to look for the smurf caches and there were about 8 that we could find in this park. Well, we found the location for all of them but for some reason we couldn't find the caches. In the description on line, it said that they were off the trail, and me and my dumb self decided to were flip flops. So, i had to go back to the car and change shoes, lucky i carry a pair tennis shoes for work. After i changed shoes Casey and i started actually walking into the woods to see if we can find these caches. Even if we found the right tree with the vines, or the ankle high grass it was in. we were to afraid to stick our hands in to anything we couldn't see around. There was poison ivy and possible snakes and spiders in these areas, so we were being cautious at the same time looking for the cashes. We ended up not finding anything at all. Their was a cache that was suppose to be behind a bush off the road we searched that bush front and back and we still couldn't find it. We thought maybe someone else found them and kept them instead of putting them back. We were in the right area every time. Casey and I soon took a break and went to get something to eat at the Dairy Bar in Sanford and kept searching on our phones for another area we could possible Geocache at. So we tried to go to the Sand Lee Park, but someone rented it out for the day for a celebration of some sort so we ended up by the movie theater where the little strip mall is and we walked that trail around the mall. There was suppose to be 2 caches we could find in that area and one was a camouflage peanut butter jar. Man was i looking hard for this jar. There wasn't that many places it could be there was fence that we couldn't go over so it had to be on one side. Still no luck. And then we were looking for a pile of sticks, and that was no hope. There were sticks everywhere. Casey and i decided to call it a day after that we went Geocaching for 4 hours and found nothing at all. It was disappointing, but we had fun looking for them. Even though they were probably right under our noises the whole time.

Here are some pics i took of areas the Geocache was suppose to be:
