April Fools Day Caching

Sunday Caching In Assiniboine Forest

Sunday morning came and it was looking to be a cool day! Every weather report said it was going to be a very nice day!  We headed out to pick up a few caches around my house that are in locations that are usually too busy.  We went to a point near Polo Park Mall, but were not able to retrieve it because of one muggle who came and parked beside us and just stayed right there!   So we moved on to our next target where we had to out wait a couple people who were checking out the opening time of the store!  But they were a breeze compared to the loonie at the last location.  Gerry made the find in no time flat!  His geosenses were honed today!

His geoeyes and senses were peeled all day!  It turned out to be Boy=3.........Girl=0!  Man that is not good stuff!  We went on to our next cache which was really close, by then we were starting to get some rain showers and it was getting rather cold!  We walked to GZ and again Gerry found it!

Here is Gerry with his second find, oh man! What the heck my senses are just not working today!  This is another one near to my house that I have been wanting to get since we started caching!  Good Job Ger!

We decided to have some breakky and see if the rain would clear and then we could head to Assiniboine Forest.  By the time we finished eating the weather did clear up and so we headed out to get a puzzle cache.  Cindy solved this puzzle for us, so we thought our work would be easy, Hahaha.  We had some of the thickest bushwacking that we have done until now!  We were getting tired, the GPS was leading us astray...this way, that way and back and forth.  Finally we were standing by a makeshift fort and I am just standing, because I do not want to do more walking then I have to, and

Ger discoverd it!  Yeah for "the man"  and it sucks to be me!  The puzzle was to sipher some number symbols written in the Mayan Code. There were 3 ammo boxes of goodness here! Wow, stash of cash!



The forest along the trail



Some of the big old oak trees are so interesting.  We are going to our next destination, which is another multi cache.  It is in a wet swampy area, a lenghty foot bridge crosses the wet area.  We search in this area for  quite a long time and still come up empty, so we decide that we should leave, we start to walk towards our next cache.  We get to Grant Av. and we still have 1 km to go!  So now it is go to it, or go to the car, which is about 1 km from us.  I say "I am just about done" so we decide to head to the car......thank goodness!!   We were a couple of tired caches by this point!!   We did a lot of walking today for not many caches!Two tired cachers just wanting to go home to get a cold drink of water and sit down and put their feet up!

As tired as we were, we had a good day and we shall sleep good tonight!

Have fun caching
