Geocaching

[wolf]

We managed to find one!

Whoo hoo, happy dance, and all that.

May not have if we hadn't had bunnygirl (one of the babysitees) with us ... she spotted the cache, and earned a dollar bribe as well as one of the items in the cache. She took a bakugon, which is one of the latest cute Japanese fighting monster toys that she knows all about and I never heard of.

We tried for a second one, were probably within 10 feet of it, but we had to cut the searching short because a thunderstorm was coming in and we JUST made it back to the car in time!

We'll be going back again to find that one.

Oh, and my friend, Wrong Way Corrigan? She programs the coordinates into her GPS and says, "Okay, it says go this way. The arrow points this way!"

"Uh, wrongway?"

"Yes?"

"The arrow points north. You follow the black line. See that squiggle? That's that big road over there."

"But the black line goes straight through those trees."

"And the path right ahead of you curves around and back toward where you want to go."

Another time she wanted to climb up a 70 degree incline (okay, it was more like a big pile of dirt, but it was hill like) hill to follow the black line when once again, the path curved toward where we wanted to go.

Heaven help me.

On Thursday I am going to Ricketts Glen with this woman.

I expect that we will get lost in the woods and that I will have to roast and eat her to survive.

I already told her she has to mark the parking spot with that GPS thingy. Although, it should be pretty straightforward ... we go downhill to leave.



"Right.
