Then There Were Six

It often happens that I go out caching. This day though in particular, was, well, a super cache day. It wasn't as huge as the Heilbronn day with Stefmaus and Altgofur although it had potential.

I didn't even have to drive. I was picked up by Thomas and Maus99. After a small rearrangement of the car to let Little Red have a riding place, We then drove off to pick up an_Chripa.

I went this time with Throle (Thomas), an_Chripa (Christina and Patrick), and Maus99. Once we got there, we met up with DrOetgar.

Then there were six. We started this day off with a FTF on the way. We were driving and as usually happens, I got a message on my Blackberry that a new cache was published. We were already driving in that direction anyway so we took the opportunity to grab it. Yes, indeed we were the FTF, a group of 5 at the time as FTF. Don't know if that really ever happened before. I know of 2 and/or 3 people groups, but not 5.

We then headed off to our first stop now being our second. This is where DrOetgar showed up. A very nice guy. We headed off to our marathon traditional super-cache day.

Our first cache was there at the park platz and the third of the day, second of the tour was a T:5. Yup, up a tree we went. Well, only one of us went up the tree. Albeit the strength and drive was there to go up the tree but the time was not. In favor of all of us taking our turn, we sent only one person to do the dirty work. This was much better as we all signed the log and were in some way conspirators to the capture of this cache.

We continued our venture. A long, long venture. I not realizing that the trail was so long and the weather getting hotter, left my water and snack in the car. Little Red had the option to drink from the creek. Big Red was left to dehydrate. Bad news. I was holding up the group. Somehow I don't think I realized we weren't coming back to the car and that I was now forever without. I got really slow and the others became concerned. I did not intend for this to happen. I was surely all about capturing a new record of 34. Never happened, at least not today.

Tour now complete, we ended with 25 on the day and a nice now luke wark jug of water but still hydrating to the body and still had to share with Little Red. Won't make that mistake again. So as you see by my counter on the home page, I am at 148.

All for now.
