How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

NOTE: If you choose to pursue this cache via the mushing trails during the winter, please go very early or very late in the day, avoiding the hours of 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. LadyBugKids has provided links to an Alaska Sled Dog Racing Association (ASDRA) race schedule and a mushing trail map in his note logged 2/7/10. There is a high risk for everyone if someone uses the trail at the wrong time, as dog teams travel silently at speeds exceeding 20 mph. Thanks, BP.

Part VII of a Halloween saga.

Previously:

I had happened upon Jack's skull
his ears burning
his twisted tongue
his eye opener
his teething ring
his nosing around

Now ...

Miss Marple had knitted several pair of baby booties as I recounted my saga. As I looked into her knitting case, I was shocked to see a disembodied hand feeding her the yarn. I asked, "What is that thing?" and as Wednesday became Thor's day, I was introduced to Thing.

My sleep-deprived brain wondered how she/he/it could understand me. But I continued on...

After fleeing from the witch, I lost any sense of direction and wandered through the swamp. I explained that while I didn't know Jack from Addams, I still felt some sense of duty or compulsion to find all his parts.

Finally, exhausted, I stopped. In that moment, I heard a beat. Like a heartbeat, blood pumping in a fear-filled brain. Louder and louder, coming closer. Yet, rather than filling me with dread, it touched a memory of dots and dashes and I knew that I was receiving a message ... a message that would come in handy.
