This adventure found us leaving early on a Sunday morning and the goal was to have Mike practice driving and to find cache along the way. I must note here that it is not easy to be the driver on a cache adventure. There are last minute screams of TURN LEFT NOW and TURN AROUND WE MISSED IT, so it can be very trying. We didn't go far from home (we were without the youngest of the Loftus4) but we found a nice park with quite a few cache in it. My newest favorite was the cache camouflaged with tree bark and set on a branch of the tree, but it required going into a space that was barely big enough to stand up. I probably don't need to mention that the thought of being in a small space with the possibility of snakes or other such desert like creatures falling on me creeps me out and this was no exception. We enjoyed the rest of our walk around the park and then found a couple near the library before heading back home. There was an "Alice in Wonderland" themed cache and it was a rather large mushroom and you tip it over and inside it was a storage container the size of a loaf of bread. Someone had left headphones in there for a trade item...Pat and Mike were not all that happy with me when I insisted that we couldn't take them. The spirit of the trade is that you leave something better than you take and well I don't think our rubber wristband was in that category. It was a nice morning and Mike did a great job driving!
