Number 5 on the FTFs
I figured something was up when tonka_boy served me breakfast in bed yesterday. He had just received notice of a new geocache. No taking our time in the morning, lounging about. He was hot on the trail for another FTF.
The cache was of the type I like–on a trail in a place scarce of muggles. While I’ve posted that I’m not particularly fond of winter caches because the snow takes part of the challenge away, the caching this time of year, when the snow is all but gone, the trail traffic at a minimum is very appealing.
It was a bit farther down the trail then he originally thought. So what though. The weather was fabulous. All the signs of spring were there–geese honking overhead, chickadees staking out their territory claims, the rush of the creek supplemented with melting snow.
The cache, Trolls on the Luce, was a small cache, a first time hide for the geocacher. This one stumped us a bit, but I will say this. Coordinates were spot on, the hide appropriately rated 2 for difficulty, 2.5 for terrain. We managed the grab though I also managed a splinter that I’m still trying to get out. Thank goodness my tetanus shot is up-to-date. It’s worth it though, to add that coveted FTF.
