Geocaching Trip 5

I suppose I need to come up with better titles for my entries. I'll work on that.

Sun May 3rd
Today we decided to try and find a few more caches. I finished with church at Noon and we ended up leaving around 1:30. We started out in Clearfield city today. Just randomly picked a cache and then mapped the others nearby. I was not impressed by the caches we found in Clearfield. We had a lot of trouble finding some and will have to go back on another day to make another attempt to find them. I don't know if it was the clouds or what, but we were having more difficulty that usual with the GPS satellites.

The caches that we did find seemed to be in desperate need of repair. Most of the logs were too wet to even sign. A few of them were in high "Muggle" areas and we were unable to search thoroughly. We definitely need to try the area again some day. We did run into some fellow geocachers for the first time on this trip.

I did think of a few more items to add to our geocache gear. Hand Sanitizer and air freshener. A few of the caches in this city were supposed (we couldn't find them before the stench chased us away) to be in areas that smelled horrible. I'm wondering if it would be too tacky to include those pine tree scented car fresheners to wear around our necks while caching in these areas.
Angie suggested bio suits as well. It is definitely something I will consider in the future.

We did finally end up with 8 caches by the end of the day and discovered a nice fishing pond that I never knew existed in Clearfield.
The cache located by the pond was a clever hide.
GC1MR3K Hidden Fishin Hole for anyone that is interested.
I think the highlight of the day however was when I dropped my car keys. Of course I couldn't just drop them on the ground like a normal person. Noooo, I had to drop them on top of a storm drain grate. I was luckier than normal. The way the keys landed they managed to straddle the bar. After my slight heart attack I was able to calm down enough to hold my breathe and carefully pick them up. I was so scared that I would touch them and send them off balance down into the water. Needless to say I've learned to put my keys into my pocket before I leave the car now.
