We went out today, even though it was supposed to be kinda crappy and wet weather. Of well, I didn't want to stay home all day and do nothing! For the most part, we missed the heavier rain showers, and they were all pretty easy to find. I put together a bookmark list for the caches hunted today. My first try at any bookmark lists, I think I have it set right. Here's the link to it. Hope it works... Essex Run 4-25-10 A preview and test of the links shows it should work. The 2)dead end caches by Foxtrotter and the Kobe's revenge cache have the most interesting stories written in my logs for them. Including lunch in Gardner and the drive time out and back, it was a good way to kill off 5 hours today. ;D

In the "Trust car GPSr for Caching?" topic, I told a story about Bryan getting his wife's van mired in the sand. For fun (and to let him know that I have another Adventure for him and her van) I C&P (Copied and Pasted) my log entry for "Another Dead End" cache placed by Foxtrotter below.
After lunch and my first two cache fiascoes regarding these darn tracks, I knew just what I needed to do to get to this cache. Got back up 53 to the next legal crossing. As we approach, I say out loud "Oh Jeeze! I know Exactly this road now!" My wife didn't think of it so quickly cause she don't drive, but this is the road that used to lead to her grandma's house! (keep on pavement for about a 1/4 mile or so) Anyhow, then I did something that I really was surprised to do ... with my Car! [ ] I Drove to within 365 feet of the cache on this wet and runny day!! Sorry, but the .7 mile hike just didn't appeal to us today. This is one I'll have to take the blaird83 clan on. LOL. (he got their van stuck in sand last weekend on a caching trip together.) The car sure needs a bath now, but that's OK. We got the cache at 2:45 PM and liked your McGiver use of the shoelace! Ya gotta do what you can to get the job done, right? Yup! Thanks for the Caches, Foxtrotter. I safely got the car turned around and we got All 12 of the 12 we were aiming to get today. We're out of Local caches, so Westward, here we come! [ ]
Me thinks that if I keep this stuff up with my Car... she's gonna turn against me someday. But for now, she's done good! Even though she Definitely needs a bath now.
