The+Cache+Man

The Cache Man!

It was another day for me at the office. My ACUs drenched with sweat and dirt, this should be an easy trek I thought to myself. As I put the the coordinates into the GPS, I thought of ways that would make this experience fun and exciting. It came to me in an instant! I decided that I would make this shot but enduring journey at night. As the sun began to set and the light ray began to vanish, I ventured out to find the cache. Stars began to form in the sky, and I started to feel right at home. With each blink of my eyes I felt like I was in the woods of Fort Bragg conducting night land navigation. I also began to realize how much more simple this was due to me having a GPS. If only we could use a GPS in the field I thought to myself. I approached Saylor Park and saw that the cache I was looking for was in the sight. I journeyed all through Saylor Park trying to fight this cache but to no avail I couldn't find it. Each light pole was like a tall mountain and I felt like an adventurer looking for an artifact. Little did I realize, I walked right past the cache box three or four times without even realizing that I had reached my objective. After I traveled along side the long, winding dark road, I realized where the cache was, and proceeded to turn back to reach my cache. The cache was very close, yet it seemed like a mile away. The journey had took a toll on me, and I was ready to down a canteen of water after finding this cache. I approached my cache with excitement, and opened it with haste. As I put my name down in the log book I saw the many different names that had also found the cache. After finding the cache I told myself I would use my new geocaching skills in the forests of Fort Bragg when conducting Land Navigation.
