Caching Story from Back Home

My father is the one that showed me geocaching and got me into it. So naturally when I go home from school for any reason I enjoy caching with him as much as possible. However, while I am away, he has found a few good caching buddies to accompany him on days. One of which I would say that they have become rather good friends in and out of geocaching. Anyway, the point I am trying to get at is that my dad’s buddy is about to reach the 1000 find plateau and it is up to my dad to hide the infamous silver ammo can. Now, he has yet to hide a cache and after what we have been thinking for this one I can see why. My father is very picky when it comes to his hide having to be perfect. There can be no rock unturned or else he will feel like it is not a good enough hide. I went home last weekend to help him out and I think we have a solid idea of what we want to do with this cache and I truly think it is brilliant. My dad is intending on making this cache a multi that will incorporate everything that his buddy hates to encounter while caching. Ingenious! I think there are about five stages that add up to about 1.75 miles of walking, but it is going to be interesting none the less. My dad acknowledges that this cache probably will not be found very often due to the difficulty he is making it and the duration it will take to find the cache. I tend to think that only the hardcore cachers will snag this one simply because it is yet another cache to pop up on their radar. I keep calling him and seeing if it is all hidden yet, but the hide has yet to be complete. It is my hope that I can be home the weekend they go out to find this because I really am going to get a kick out of seeing my dad’s friend try to accomplish this find. It is definitely a cache where I will be able to tell him that he earned his 1000th find.
