No, she isn't crying here, she's in the process of sticking out her tongue. I had looked for the Intersection Cache (see post below) three times before finding it. She found it in less than 2 (count 'em--I did) minutes.
We had planned a route that contained several thematically linked caches. The series was entitled "It Was Here". The caches were hidden at locations that once housed well known--and not so well known-- Beckley WV sites and businesses from the past. This is a pretty typical small cache with a camera for size comparison.
Below are a selection of caches in the series and their hides:
Caches can be hidden in a variety of ways. Base covers for flag poles, magnetic boxes that can be attached to metal fan vents, the list is endless.
We were unable to find only one cache. We returned to the site three times over the course of the day but never did find it. A check of the log entries at the Geocaching web site reveals that several others just before us had also been unable to find the missing cache. It may well have been kidnapped by some evil muggle.
Very fun day and the usual excellent lunch (this is really why we go) at Anagan Indian Resturant in Beckley--even if there was a little rain.
I really had a great time yesterday, particularly when I could rub your nose in it over the Intersection Cache. It was very cleverly hidden, though, and it probably would have taken me much longer had I not known all the trouble you had - that gave me a heads-up to look for an unusual hide. A fun day.
