Geocaching: ZOMG!!1111 JEEP!!!! GLEE!!!!
Sep. 1st, 2006 11:04 pmI now hold in my grubby fist a real, honest-to-God Jeep travel bug!!! There is a long, long story behind it, but the short version is that Shawn tracked it down through a backdoor. Its previous hider hadn't logged the drop in the usual way and in fact had erroneously specified the wrong cache for his drop, which is why perhaps nobody else even knew it was there. S took off from work a little early, came home and hopped on his motorcycle, and shot back up to the Kingston ferry. After the crossing he rode like the wind out to some obscure lake on the peninsula, found the cache, and glommed onto the Jeep. The only thing that would make this more perfect is if I could have been along for the find. However, it needed to be done quickly and on a motorcycle (to get to the head of the ferry line--90-minute wait for cars!) and of course I don't have one anymore. For those of you who will be seeing us in the next few days, we'll bring the Jeep so you can feast your winkers on it and maybe, if you've been extra good, touch it. Damn, Shawn's good. Now we just have to research a good cache to drop it in for the next finder, which probably means going for a serious trek, as you don't want to drop it in any old 1/1 grab-and-go.
SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
