I am sorry to hear about your mother. If it is any help, I am glad that
she went peaceably in her sleep, I hope we can all be that fortunate when
our time comes.
As for cache hunting, sounds like you had quite an adventure even if you
didn't find the cache. I suspect that you were VERY close to it. I had a
little trouble finding that one also as there were a lot of placed that it
would have been tucked away.
You will find after a few finds that experience does help, but you will
always come across caches that are hidden in new and unusual ways. That is
part of what keeps this a very interesting sport.
We have been doing this since last October, and have just a little over 80
finds so far. Not much when you consider how many the folks up in Phoenix
have, but even after that many we are still surprised every now and then by
how a cache is hidden. With any luck, we should be over 100 finds on Thursday.
In liberty,
Scott
