- Found it
I started the morning cleaning up a pile of e mails I had never filed or deleted from my swollen in-box when I spotted a month old notice announcing the publication of this cache on the Opencaching site way back on May 16th. I’ll be honest and say I kind of wanted to hit the delete button but relented and hit the link to the cache page to reread the description one more time. I guess that’s all it took as I decided to take a minor detour while passing through Orleans County this afternoon. I’ve visited the location before and remember logging the benchmark a decade ago but planned to make the climb one more time to verify to dates on the geodisk. Unfortunately there were a few families at the monument who didn’t appear to be in any hurry to leave and rather than barge through the group outing I relied on the hint to get the info I required. I took the longer than expected walk to the zero and began the search. There were numerous places to hide a decon container in the general area but the coords were good enough to eliminate many of them and I was eventually able to make the find.
I guess I’ll skip the sarcastic comments feigning surprise when I found a virgin log more than a month after publication but really one would think a opencacher fervent enough to make his wheels a moving cache via the magical application of a sticker would have rolled the pride of the opencaching fleet a bit east to hunt for this new cache.
I know I’ve suggested that Opencaching if not dead is certainly in need of life support but I do appreciate the efforts of Sabrefan to provide resuscitation by dropping in a new cache every once in a while. So to him I say thanks for placing a real cache out there for me to find. To the rest of you who claim unwavering allegiance to the site but fail to support others who share your passion I say PFFFFFFFFTTTT!
