I first met troutscott right after a snowstorm when searching for jodibee's "Oh Beautiful, for Spacious Skies", a 4-part multi. It had just snowed 3-4 inches so I'd talked muggle hubby into going out with me. We saw a pickup backing out of the parking lot where we needed to go, but the cacher said he hadn't found all of the parts of this multi. Troutscott then pulled back in and we all proceeded to hunt. I was appreciative of his patience and marveled at my good fortune of having another cacher, because I was sure muggle hubby would have wanted to quit much sooner. It was a tough find with the new snow after the cache parts had been hidden.
