Last Saturday

So, as I predicted, Erin came into town on Friday and early Saturday morning we woke up with the itch to go geocaching. I was hoping this would happen and was excited when it eventually did. However, we did not know how we were going to go about it for awhile. It felt like we just kept looking at the map hoping for certain caches to jump out at us and scream to be found. Unfortunately, that did not happen, but we did figure out a route that would have us nabbing 20 caches. We had decided that we did not want to go for extreme numbers on this day and rather take it easy and hopefully end up with 20 finds by the end of the day. As our quest began, we were doing very well on the first few finds and making almost too good of time. What I have come to learn about geocaching is that you are never making too good of time. We came up to the lonely multi-cache we had planned for the day and enjoyed the stages very well. We were taken all over the small town of Lincoln. It was all fine and dandy until the final stage brought us to some park that appeared to have not had visitors for years. Not to mention, with the warm weather here, there was green pretty much everywhere causing me to be somewhat hesitant in my trek through the forest. I did not want to get poison ivy my first trip in the woods. Once that one was found the rest of the day was pretty much smooth sailing. Aside from the time that I had to trek through rapids (that is another post in waiting), we were out in the country. In fact, there were probably seven or eight cemetery caches that we ended up finding on this day. All in all though, it was a very fun day and it was great to be caching with Erin again.
