So yesterday!

Yesterday we hit two caches really quick, I thought we were on a role and were going to make it.  Within 15 minutes of leaving the house we had two. Then we hit the third one. Wow, great hide, hard to find. It was called Bobbing For Cache and it took us about 1hr to find it. We did, but it took way to long and the next two were no different.  The very next one we found oursleves deep in the woods about 300 feet from the cache with thick bushes and trees and a swamp in between. That was after having walked 30 minutes to get there. Let’s just say we gave up on that one and went for another.

All together we ended up getting 9 caches yesterday, and the coolest by far was the last.

ZZZ’s Meridian in the Dark is probably one of the coolest I have done. No, it is the coolest one Stacy or I have done.  This one we went to during the day even though they said it should be done at night.  We couldn’t find it. We followed the coordinates and looked for the clues we needed with no results. So we went back last night.

about 9pm we pulled up at the entrance to the trail that we had visited earlier that day. The idea is that you walk to the entrance of the trail and with a flash light you see what you are supposed to do.  Well, with out being able to do it during the day we thought this was going to be a short try, we didn’t think it would work. So we walked to the beginning of the trail, shown the flash light in, and all the suddent it was like little beams of red light popping out of the trees creating a trail that we didn’t not see during the day. As we walked the trail of beams it took us off on a side trail that led us up a hill. At the top of the hill there was on tree that the lights formed a diamond on which lead us to walk off the trail deep into the woods.  As we turned to head in the flashlight illuminated yet another series of lights that lead us to a big blue smiley face in the center of a big tree, and that is where we found the cache.  It was really cool. Now just as we made it there it began to rain, we grabbed the cache signed the log and turned around to head out, but we couldn’t tell were we came from. As we turned trying to figure out the direction we had came from the flash light caught a tree that had an arrow on it showing us the way back to the trail (good thinking on their part).

I am definitely going to create a cache like this one at home.

Well, we are fixing to head out again, only 12 more to go.
