Conclusion
If you’re often hit with the sudden urge to cache but don’t carry your standard GPS with you all the time, then this is a great solution. But other then the cool factor, it’s just not all that exciting. Perhaps after a few updates it will be more indespensible.
With such a cute name George Curious, how could I resest hunting this cache down!
Well, after watching this video you’ll agree that maybe I should have done this one on a different day. I actually picked this cache because it had pretty much guaranteed me a nice 3 mile hike and excercise is certainly something I can use!
It started off very well on our Rail to Trails network and was only about a thenth of a mile off the main trail, it should have been reasonably easy.
Not even half way up though I realized I didn’t have my cell phone with me anymore. I know I left a twitter message when I started but couldn’t remember if that was from the car or en route. The more I walked the more I belived it fell out of my pocket and that pretty much occupied my mind.
When I got to the location it was very uncomfortable. The nice spring I was looking for had apparantly turned into a tick infested pool of stagnent water. I looked but honestly between being bummed about my phone and being eaten alive by who knows what, my heart just wasn’t into it. So I wrapped up and headed back to the car hoping to find my phone along the way.. which I didn’t
When I got home my house phone was ringing.. caller ID said it was me!!! “Hello? You found my phone!!!!?” Turns out a homeless man was on the trail with his bicycle travelling back to the homeless shelter when he found my phone. I was saavy enough to look at the address book and call the entry labeled “home” and ta da!!!! So I drove to the shelter to retrieve my phone and give him a nice little reward which I think he really appreciated.
Looks like a little buddhism at work here, turning the poison of an uncomfortable treck through the woods into medicine by exchange goodwill with someone less fortunate. NMRK
