Geocaching

It was getting late but we decided to go for one more before calling it a night. We followed the GPS to the nearest parking spot and then made our way to the park that we figured the geocache was hidden in. As we got closer and closer to the final coordinates we found that the GPS was pointing us about 10 feet behind a fence that was on private property. The cache description gave a hint saying that it was hidden near three foot high oak tree. Unfortunately neither my brother or I can identify an oak tree and as we later found out from reading the logs, the cache description page is a couple years old and the three foot high tree is now more like a six foot high tree.

With it being dark outside, the GPS pointing us in the wrong area, not knowing that the hint was now not accurate and the cache being a micro we just couldn’t find this one. We gave it a good try but we just didn’t have enough to make the find. So, unfortunately, we ended the night with a DNF which is never a good way to end a day of caching. I had gotten the bug though, and I wanted to go out again.
