Our Worst Multi Cache Experience Yet

Of our now 426 finds, only 19 of those happen to be multi caches. It is not that we do not like them or avoid them. Traditional are just simply everywhere we look out here and we try to get them all. However, we did have an experience with a multi cache that put quite a sour taste in our mouth. Back in the fall of 2008 Erin and I decided to go on a rather long cache day that began with us trying to find a nine stage multi cache that seemed rather exciting. It was placed in the town of Lexington which was small and the cache was meant to give us a tour of the town while searching out a cache. It sounded like a great idea at the time. We arrived to the first coordinates, which somehow directed us to some barn in which people were painting. The description said we would end up at an old train station. We decided to ask the people and they said that the train station was about a half mile east. This was just the beginning of a messed up cache. So we get to the train station with which there was no correct coordinates leading us there. The next two stages went alright and we were beginning to become optimistic again. Wrong again, because the fourth coordinates brought us back to that same barn and said that a sign would be there to obtain numbers off of. We searched high and low for a sign that did not exist. Reading ahead in the description we were able to brute force our way to the next couple of stages which were again messed up. They were describing all these signs we were supposed to see that magically were not there anymore. After two hours of frustration we finally managed to find the cache by pretty much guessing since the entire thing was wrong. I still wonder how people were able to find that before us because it was ridiculous. If I sound bitter it is because I am. After that find we tried to reach out to the cache hider and we got a lot of attitude back. It was not a great experience what so ever, but we did learn from it.
