Through+the+Woods

After we successfully located our first cache, we got back in my car and headed for the next one and parked on the other side of the parking lot. Kendele was much too scared to go in the woods at night, so she stayed in the car while John-Mark and I, being the fearless warriors that we are, bravely ventured up the embankment to the next shopping center parking lot. There was a rather frightening man laying against the side of the building but we pressed on towards the woods. The grass was high and it was incredibly dark for being right beside a strip mall. The only flashlight we had was my phone but we were using the geocaching ap on it so we couldn't even use the flashlight. We walked around in circles in the knee-high weeds and poked at a few discarded take out trays before John-Mark spotted it at the base of a tree! We opened up the box and found that it held a My Little Pony toy, a Nerf dart, a Team Jacob pendant, a friendship bracelet, and a few other items. Since we didn't bring anything with us we just put the box back beside the tree. We gleefully skipped all the way back to my car where Kendele was waiting. By Brooke King Back Home
