Scaredy Cat's Trail of Treasures

So it's a treasure you seek? What could be more fun then hiking and looking for a treasure while doing so? Similar to Geo-caching but you're taking and you don't have to give back. Pretty little gifts, for you to enjoy or give away!

This spring and summer of 2015 follow my footsteps as I give you the clues to find the different hidden treasures within the trails I've visited. Some will be easy and some tough. If you find 3 or more hidden treasures...take a picture of you and your treasures; send it to me & you will receive a Scaredy Cat buff.

Good luck! Happy & safe trails.
