First First To Find

A strange alignment of circumstances allowed us to get our first geocaching First To Find. The cache was a mile into Hitchcock Woods, it was published at 11:00AM, it was a very hot & sticky afternoon, then a really nasty set of late afternoon thunderstorms rolled through, and a wife who usually takes a late evening walk suggested we walk together in Hitchcock Woods.

As I read the description I thought I knew exactly which trail it was hidden on, turns out I did. We at one time had a cache on that same trail just 51′ away called “No Horses Allowed”. So we drove over, parked on Dibble Road and headed for the cache location not really thinking we would be first. When we got to GZ Donna immediately pointed deep into a bush. I pooh-poohed that idea as there was no way you could get in there without damaging the bush. We then spent 5 minutes wandering in circles looking for likely hiding spots until she ended up back at the same bush calling, “I found it.” It wasn’t where she first thought, but it was real close.
