Easter Weekend Caching

You had to figure I was going to do some caching when I went home for the Easter weekend. Granted, I was unable to have Erin accompany us, my dad was ready to go on Saturday and I find it hard to ever turn down an opportunity to cache. Not to mention, it can be fun to cache with him and my sister. Anyways, we decided to head out to Oswego where my dad has been trying to clear out for what seems like the past few months. It started out like a day that was going to be filled with a whole bunch of park and grabs of different sorts because we were up to 15 finds within about two hours. You may even find it hard to believe then that we only ended up with 20 finds for the day. Now this is partially because we did not want to be out until dark and because of the last five caches we decided to do. There is a park in Oswego that we had gotten part of a while back when Erin was in town. We never finished it so that was how we planned on ending our day. However, we did not plan for a two hour multi cache. We did know there was one on our list, but we were not sure what to expect. It was solely based off of pirates and everything associated with it was somehow related to pirate language. First we had to search in one end of the park to find the initial clue. That took awhile because there were lots of muggles in the woods and my dad was unsure as to what we were looking for. Eventually, we made the find and realized that we were going to have to go to the other side of the park. Once over there, it took us an extreme while to even decide on what we were looking for until my dad found a container underneath some tree roots that provided us with a map to the cache. It was hard to first understand because of the pirate like lingo but after a quick phone a friend we were finally able to come up with the find only to have to head home right afterwards. It did indeed take us about two hours to nab this find and although it was strenuous, it is definitely one of my favorites.
