I picked up Eryn's geocache tonight. I scoped a place I thought we could use instead, but it doesn't seem to have any good hiding places. So I'll have to reconsider. On a positive note, some idiot let their dog take a dump next to where we hid it this last time. I know because I stepped in it while avoiding a second fresh pile. It was next to a f-ing bench you animals. Can you not keep your dog from crapping within footrest distance of the only bench within miles? Maybe I should have just hidden Eryn's cache under a pile of crap. It occurred to me while I was walking back from picking up her cache that I was told I couldn't hide it there because of the proximity of a multicache. I should have checked under the bench. I'd lay odds it's with 10 feet.
I've been keeping Eryn up a bit later recently - seems to make her sleep in in the morning and I'm hoping it carries over to the weekend because I want to go biking and still have Pooteewheet be able to sleep in. So tonight, we went geocaching after hours. Here's my almost 5 year old posing next to the Children's Cache (creepy, if you think it's full of children) we found.
It was pretty tricky. You had to realize it was underneath a stump with a board attached to the bottom to make sure water didn't seep in. My parents had that tupperware set - circa 1968. [Image]
The second one was near Thomas Lake, and this tree was completely hollow at the bottom. I knew it was in there and I had to grab a stick and root around for a good minute or two to make sure some garden snake wasn't going to latch onto my arm. Or a squirrel. I had to reach in past my elbow - so you never know what's lurking in there at that point. [Image]
Proof that I'm not crazy. You can't even see the cache from this vantage point. And that small hole on the left hooks right into the bigger hollow. There was a lot of empty space in there for a snake, or squirrel, or badger...even a bear. [Image]
