On the way down to Hattiesburg on Saturday, we decided to stop and do a quick geocache along the way. We looked online (www.geocaching.com) and found one located near Hwy 49 right outside Magee. Looked like a quick and easy one, so we transferred the info to our GPS, printed out the pertinent info and then headed out. We stopped at Sonic in Richland and I am happy to report that their new Tuscan Grilled Chicken sandwich is very good 🙂 Anyway, we took a wrong turn or two on the way to this particular geocache, but finally found the right obscure road to turn down, and then turned into an area we had no idea was there – McNair Springs Park. There’s an artesian spring there, and a nice little park area, and it’s very hidden and quiet. Very pretty there, and the water was very clear and very cold! It took us a lot longer than we planned to find the geocache – a camo colored match safe. It was buried in the ground, but we dug and dug and dug and finally found it! 🙂 I took a couple of quick pictures, and I’ll include them on the extended page.
Here’s the spring water coming out through a concrete waterway into the rest of the park:
And here’s Tim checking out the mouth of the spring:
The geocache was tiny and well-hidden in the ground:
Fun!
