After 3 weeks of not geocaching, we ventured out of the house this morning with GPSr in hand. A couple hours later we had found 4 (Donna 3, Brian 1) and missed two. One of the ones we missed was one we missed before, but that was because the second and final stage was MIA. It was just replaced about a week ago and I don’t know if we were the first to try and retrieve it, nobody had logged a find or a DNF, but when we plugged in the coords it was pointing about 40′ outside the park. Didn’t seem right, so we went back to the first stage again to check if we had the right numbers. Yep.
Emailed the cache owner and she said it was halfway between stage 1 and where stage 2 was before and it definitely was inside the park. She said she would check on it after the holidays when she gets back from Florida. But the seed of doubt has been planted, we are going to have to go back and triple check to make sure we got the final stage coordinates right.
We are at 291 finds and have a goal of making it to 300 by years end. Shouldn’t be too hard as long as the Christmas weekend weather isn’t too rainy.
