After watching the TDF Donna talked me into going on a quick geocaching run. The first one was a multi-stage cache in a small park. It was on our remedial cache list so it was an ammo can, but we didn’t see that the first stage was a nano, AKA itty bitty!! Donna found the nano on the second pass and it held the coords for the second stage ammo can. We then spent the next 15 minutes poking around where it should have been without success. Dang another DNF.
Throwing caution to the wind, we headed off to the next nearest cache .6 miles away. It was not on the easy list, in fact it was one of those pesky 35mm film canister well integrated into the environment. And it stayed that way. DNF number two.
There was one more multi on the way home with the second stage being an ammo can. At least the first stage was bigger than a film canister. All the logs showed that this was a unique hide and the GPSr lead us first to a crape myrtle and then to a second one about 10 feet away, but poke as we might we once again came up empty. Another 0 for 3 night.
Watch ebay for a used and quite possibly inaccurate Garmin eTrex Venture HC. 😉
