Mule+Days

As we got back in "The Cache Cab," we began discussing where we wanted to go next to find our final cache. Brittany, the Honey Boo Boo Geocaching Queen, insisted that we try to find the cache in Benson called "Redneck Series #4: Mule Days." Although there was no hint available for this cache, there was some important information that was listed underneath the coordinates that stated, "Please be careful with the terrain at this cache. Do not disturb the ground." At this point, we were thinking that this cache was near a train track and we were right. We finally make it to Benson; our GPS made us turn down a road that I had never been down before. As we continued down this nearly deserted road, the GPS told us that we had reached our final destination. We pulled into a place on the side of the road that looked like it was some sort of trucking company. We looked at each other and debated even getting out of the car, but we were so excited to find our last cache that we weren't going to let the simple fact that we were at a "sketchy" place slow us down. The moment we got out of "The Cache Cab," a man that was driving an 18-wheeler asked us if we were okay. I told him we were fine and explained to him what we were doing; I'm pretty sure he thought I was speaking a different language.



As we walked across the railroad track we began searching, and searching, and searching; we couldn't find our last cache. Our GPS said we were within feet of the actual cache, yet it was nowhere in sight. We continued to search for "Mule Days." People drove by us giving us some pretty interesting faces, not sure if they should stop and help or simply laugh at us for looking like lost puppies on the side of the road.



All of a sudden I heard, "I found it!" Brittany had found our first cache near Subway and now our last cache in Benson! I think Brittany has a future in Geocaching! The cache was in a pill bottle and it only had a log sheet inside of it. We were very eager to sign it, especially since we were only the second group to sign it. After proudly signing the log sheet, we smiled for a quick photo opportunity.







Personally, I had been craving Subway from the time we heard about this project until the time we found our last cache. It seemed that we were destined to eat at Subway because our first cache was found at Subway. We ended our adventure by satisfying my Subway craving at Subway on Campus! Yum!
