As some of you avid readers are privy to the fact that my first Geocaching trip went as well as Custer's last stand, I decided to give it another try. This time I enlisted the help of professional bounty hunter, who is personally responsible for a trackable cache to travel from Big Bear, CA to the center of the Roman Coliseum, obviously in Rome. This woman is a member of the prestigious caching clan, world renown, celebrities of the caching society the OS Clan. Now I don't necessarily believe in their core values (although he is making it hard not to..booo), but who can argue with their results! No stone unturned, no stump unchecked the Obama Sucks Clan epitomizes greatness, on top of the caching food chain. So, the fact that I needed results drove me to assimilation. I drank the Kool-Aid if not for just a little while, subjected my morals to the Right Wing, it is safe to say that I traded my soul to the devil (known affectionally as Dick Chaney) for the chance to find hidden treasures.
Now for all of you fellow open minded, intelligent, and not insane people of the world - the liberals, spare me the lecture! Let be honest, just between us I used them...the entire time I was thinking about national healthcare, gay marriage, and legalizing pot. Secretly wearing an Obama T-Shirt, chanting CHANGE, as I painted an Obama portrait to be hung in The Louvre!!
Or... I was just looking for concealed booty, left by sadistic hikers who needed another reason to go on a hike. Hey, how can I complain it gets me hiking :) !!
As mentioned in my political rant I hired my Mom, to help us (Meows & Mase too) navigate the treacherous terrain of Persidio Park. Now remembering the struggles I had in part 1, I expected a long hunt, where we would have to sniff out the scent of the fortune, a struggle between determination and insanity. Poor naive Justin... We parked and within 10 minutes we found our first cache of the day! I hate that it was so easy, but relieved that today I was not going to be blanked again. The OS Clan's mastery of the cache strikes again. To add to the adventure, Mase the captain of our vessel narrowly evaded a crash for which I yelled at him, my natural response; it was entirely out of line & for that I am sorry Bro, I love you). We quickly docked and moved past it as our family usually does (which is an incredible trait BTW), and redirected our attention to the next cache. And how fitting Mase made the discovery! Sad to say though I signed it OS Clan, my own ode to their ever growing legend.
What a successful trip - Some great family time!! Oh yeah and I got some cache (funny how it became an after thought)!
- Cheers
Just a mom trying to keep her kids on the RIGHT track!
