 The After Dinner Escapade


 * It was a cool Friday evening, I was back at home for fall break which was not planned but all my roommates skipped town so I figured I should scram also. I got home around 3:00 PM when the phone rang, it was my father and he wanted to know if my mother and I would like to meet him for Dinner at the infamous La Hacienda. Being I had not had any lunch that day I agreed and during dinner the topic of school came up and the topic of Geocaching was fresh on my mind. I was telling my parents about it when it hit me, why not download the app on my IPhone and take my parents on a little after dinner escapade. It only took a moment for the app to download and it just so happened that there was a geocache right behind the restaurant we were eating at but I wanted to do a little traveling so I picked the one that was a mile away. Being familiar with the area I could tell it was near the local Walmart, so we hoped in my fathers Truck and headed south in the direction the compass was telling us. Of course being with your parents you are sometimes going to disagree so we only drove past our mark once but it was expected. So after getting turned around we headed into the Walmart parking lot. The compass was taking us around a the farthest back light poll in the parking lot, So here I was with my parents driving circles around a light pole in the Walmart parking lot. Finally coming to a stop, I exited the vehicle and examined the light pole looking for some kind of magnetic box like the description said but nothing was catching my eye. My father suggested that I check under the bottom cover which I was stumped, did not know that it was able to be lifted. What do you know, there it was, a little Altoids mint tin with the log tucked inside. I signed the log proudly and stuck right back where it was for the next willy adventurer to find and headed off into the sunset.**
