Appropriately for the day, I visited the nearby 9/11 memorial.

KTNagy & I found it! Dead batteries in the GPS forced us to borrow a couple AAs from the camera.. then once we had it in our hands we signed the log and then put the batteries back into the camera to snap a few pictures for posterity. Left the Sizzler place mat w/ crayon.. took the parachute-equipped plastic soldier. Thanks for the cache!

Now I'm annoyed and upset. I have to get new keys made...these are Medecos so they are expensive and hard to get made. I take a good look through the car Sunday morning. I clean out the back and throw trash out. I throw out Paulo's GC notes. No keys.

To calm down, I go out to my new Flushing Bay GC (11354) that I had disabled to replace it. I walk a quarter mile to the site and realize I left the decon in the car. Walk back. Get almost to the site again and the batteries die. Back to the car again. Now I'm really annoyed. Let me take one last look around the car ... batteries, GPSr, container, car keys, logbook, you got' em all. As I reach over the seat to do something, I look down and the missing keys are on the floor. I looked in that spot at least 5 times and they were not there. Spooky!

But the story continues. We stop at the Wait cemetery site on way home for our 13th cache. We leave for hoem and everything's cool. I drop Paulo off and head for home. We did a very successful 100 mile GC tour today. I feel good. I stop at Boston market for dinner, get home and put car in garage. I go upstairs and look for my mailbox key. Can't find it! I look through my pockets. Here we go again. I look for my emergency apartment key, can't find that either. Now what??? Went back to car. Still nothing. I remember they were on seat when I was at GZ parking lot. Did I drop them when I got back in? Did I drop them at the gas station? Looked for emergncy key again and thankfully got in house. HOPEFULLY I will find them in car tomorrow.

We took the nice shells from florida and the tomb raider cards and left three cool blue stones.

First GPS reading had us looking about 50 feet away. After a couple of minutes, I glanced down at the unit and noticed it showing us off the mark. Once on target, no prob with the find.

Thanks!

Found the cache without a problem. The area would have been extremely marshy if it wasn't for good ol' mother nature's freezing temperatures this past week... skated right over to where the cache was :) TN Left Absolut keychain.

Afterwards Tzvika and I took a nice stroll around the lake.

The cache and it's contents are in good condition. Nice and dry. I wanted to take the laser key chain but I had nothing of similar value (that would fit) so I merely left my signature.

When I went to replace the cache I noticed some gentleman sitting on a nearby park bench who was trying not to seem as if he were interested in what I was doing. I waited a few minutes for him to leave. When he showed no inclination to do so I decided I better walk away with the cache lest I reveal it's hiding place.

I decided to sit on a bench nearby him and wait him out. Unfortunately, he was eating his lunch and seemed to be in no hurry. 10 minutes or so later he got up once to throw out his garbage. I was happy to see him go but he merely sat down on the opposite side of the picnic table to admire the view. Finally, he got up and PUSHED his bike away at a leisurely clip.

I let him get a nice lead (I had a bad moment where he headed in the direction of the cache. I think I saw a sleeping bag or blanket back there. Maybe he was waiting for me to leave? But no he headed down the tracks to some other place.) On the path back to the cache hiding spot I encountered a wild-eyed gentleman in a bright red jacket disemboweling a discarded electric typewriter. He paused long enough to GLARE at me and make sure I wasn't going to rob him of his kill. I walked carefully past him and back to the cache. Looking around I did my best to ensure that no one was watching and returned the container.

our first cache! this was just a short ride from my place, and though we didn't park as close as we could have, we certainly found it without a whole lot of effort. success! if only the rest of day 1 went so well!

In the vicinity is a bridge at the opark that gives you a nice view of the whole area. Coordinates:

Drove into every parking lot, and didn't like any of them. Spied the ideal lot from across the park. Of course, we didn't drive in via the correct route - I won't go into details. Maybe it's time my husband retired his driving duties . . . my stomach can't take it.

Interesting how we don't seem to mind trekking a mile through the woods, but always have to find the optimal parking spot. A symptom of living in the fine state of NJ, no doubt. But I digress . . .

Once our vehicle was situated it was a short walk to the cache. Nice day, a little muddy, with much, much rollerblading afoot.
