Geocache Description:


Isisfan and I got invited to go on a Team Red Rubicon adventure- we were so excited. We saddled up my mule, packed some extra sorghum and black strap molasses, and met them at the trail head.

As we got going, I noticed that we were going in reverse for a long time. I asked zoltig why we were going in reverse, he smiled mischievously, then indicated that I should put on my seatbelt and handed me a sick bag.

We proceeded to do Chinaman’s Gulch counter-clockwise…and in reverse.

We bumped our way through the Rock Garden, played in the Rock Pile, got really scared on the Whale's Tail, climbed the Stairs, and then slid up the Chutes.

By the rock chutes, one cacher started to whine about going in reverse; RocketMan halted the journey, and berated the whiner. Calling him all manner of names, to include but not limited to: yellow bellied sap sucker, blue footed booby, and rufous sided towhee.

Then, as if on cue, the group hog-tied the offending cacher, carried him to a nearby mineshaft and tossed him down the mine. Isisfan and I stood by in neophyte bewilderment. Not wanting to offend the Lord of the Flies style of group management, or draw unnecessary attention to ourselves we got back in to the rubicons promptly.

By this point, I was feeling pretty scared, but knowing that the run was almost over, didn’t start panicking completely. Since we were going in reverse it was hard to read the signs as they were flying by, but I was able to catch a glimpse of one which read, “Carnage Canyon - Body Damage Imminent”.

When the trail is called, “Ho-Hum Hike” or “Lullaby Loop” you can guess at the terrain, and when the trail is called “Carnage Canyon”- you know you better have brought a change in pants.

While JeepIt, zoltig, TaylorsGeoTracker, MtnRoamer, RedRuby, QZ, Big Mark, CubBoy, N0wae, Bobo, and RocketMan proceeded to run Carnage, I stayed put and planted this cache.
