Geocache Description:


Is that a micro in these mountains?

Please don’t judge the Oldies before you finish reading this: I know most seasoned cachers turn their noses down on a micro in the woods and I am the same way for the most part. If the only reason a person drives 20 miles up into the hills is to search for or place a micro, they need to seriously seek psychiatric help. I actually have a couple “fair by my reasoning” answers as to why I placed one up here.
Here goes:

Answer 1. There wasn’t another anywhere close. Closest one is 10 miles by way of crow.

Answer 2. I wanted the distinction of being the first. Sooner or later someone else would have, you know that!

Answer 3. I only packed so many large containers. (Closest to true so far)

Answer 4. You’re not driving up here just for this one. You’re here for the other great, fabulous, wonderful and awesome caches in the area, and this one is just an extra smiley. You know that and I know that. I know most people headed up here will not hesitate to stop for it. (Best answer)

 

I had intended to place this at the 275/1091 junction and on the way back from Lunch Peak we stopped at the first intersection, which I thought was the right place. I blame the dust in my eyes and low blood sugar levels. Anyway by the time I realized it was not the right location, I was to hungry and to tired to care. So here’s where it stays.

It’s not going to be difficult, once you stop at the intersection if you don’t say to yourself, there it is, you are not using your geosenses.

 

Now you can pass judgment.. Thanks
