Geocaching

This was a very disappointing DNF for me. I enjoy Homestar Runner but I must admit that the biggest draw to me to the site is Strong Bad and his emails. Anyway, solving the puzzle for this cache was pretty easy and it turned out that it was very close to my house so I headed on up to grab it.

This cache does something rather clever, it’s a multi stage, and at the first stage of the cache you retrieve a key and then at the final stage you use this key to open the cache. I had to deal with muggles a little bit at the first stage of this cache but it wasn’t a big deal and I quickly had the key in hand. I then headed over to the second stage and this is where things turned sour.

Given the hints from the Official Geocache Page I knew I was most definitely in the right spot and the cache was nowhere to be found. I absolutely scoured the area and it simply wasn’t there. When I got home that evening I contacted the cache owner and they confirmed that it must be gone as well.

This cache has become a bit of a thorn in my side. The cache is still missing a month after I told them that it was gone and worst of all, the cache owners haven’t even bothered to mark the cache as inactive. Just the other day someone went to go and try and pick up this cache but of course they couldn’t because it’s missing. It would take the owners seconds to just mark it as inactive which would stop people from wasting there time. I just find that rude.
