Ammo+Box+Cache

Our Second Adventure- Water, Thorns, and Branches (OH MY)!

As morning broke, the marvelous sun was shinning and birds were singing. Nature was just begging me to start my day with a Geocache. Today, our Geocaching adventures took Ms. Watson and I to my side of town in Spring Lake. The map lead us to a residential neighborhood, which I was somewhat skeptical about since I did not have permission from any of the property owners to search the desired area. Thankfully, the GPS led us to a service road in a wooded area (perfect for a good find). I was excited to begin this investigation, since I already had one experience with goecaching under my belt. We began our trip walking along a gravel road searching for the ammo box described on the website. Deep into the wood line Ms. Watson and I came across some drainage pipes, which told us that we were close! With the GPS signaling our close proximity to the destination, we headed into the forest. Each of us took a different route so that our expert tracking skills could be used efficiently. Unfortunately, Ms. Watson lead herself into swap waters and compromised her shoes and socks. Since she is a dedicated Geocacher, a little water was not going to let her down, so she kept on searching! We were both becoming somewhat discouraged that the box was more difficult to find than we expected. Finally, we noticed the box under a stack of branches right in the open! Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I picked up the box and held it proudly! Of course we forgot to bring something to add to the box, but we gladly signed our names in the log book and placed the box back for others to find. After returning back to their residences Ms. Watson discovered that the thorns had cut through her skin (wearing shorts was a bad option). I suppose through the excitement of geocaching she didn't realize the stinging from her leg- Another fun day of adventure accomplished!
