Special note for caches LIH042 through LIH047. These caches are placed in an area which may not be accessible by automobile. You should seriously consider parkng near the playground and walking in. At times the road will be very muddy and you may get stuck and may not be able to get back out. Don't count on a tow-truck being able to pull you out either. After a long period of dry weather, you may be able to drive to all caches, but the road is really not suitable for anything but high-clearance vehicles at any time. You've been warned.
Saturday Aug 29, 2009 was just the most beautiful day you'd ever seen, so Mrs. Captain Picard, ACClanman and I decided to go for a walk in the country. Of course, I never go anywhere without a few pre-prepared cache containers, so we packed up some bags of containers and set out on our walk.
After a while, we discovered that not only were we exceptionally over-dressed for the occasion, but we also had accidentally brought along a number of items that probably should have been left at home. Of course it was my fault. (Most of the ladies I know are happy to explain to me that everything bad that happens is actually my fault, and it's usually a good idea to agree with them.)
Rather than complain about the experience, we decided it would make a good geocaching lesson for others. So we named each cache for either an item of clothing we were wearing or one of the items we had brought along. Each of these items is something you should probably leave at home while geocaching. Appropriately enough, the series is named "Leave It Home," LIH for short.
Oh, one more thng. If you decide NOT to follow our advice, and you actually show up at a particular cache either wearing or carrying the item the cache is named for, and if you e-mail me a picture of yourself at the cache site carrying or wearing the item in question, you can take an extra smiley.
For this cache:
Oh, wait. 1000-Gallons is too big. You'd need a tractor-trailer rig for that. If you lug a 17-gallon (or larger) water heater to the cache site, you and your team can claim extra smilies.
