Soon after I
placed my Pilchuck Blackout Challenge, I received a log from an
Oregon cacher, Ceredwyn, that said,
“Holy crimony! Maybe I'll come live in the woods
for a couple of years and do this challenge. I could be known as
the mysterious female Yeti of PTF! Lol”
That
immediately got me thinking of the possibilities. Could I line up
people to drop off meals every day for her? Would it really take a
couple of years of living in the PTF to get all the caches? How
would she log her finds, or know when new ones get published so she
can keep up? What if they clear-cut the area she stays in? How will
she keep warm and dry since fires aren’t allowed? Will her
clothes last? Will she have enough batteries to keep her GPS
going?
If her
boots wear out, will I be the one to photograph her bare footprints
in the dirt or snow and make millions off it? What if she’s
just an average sized sasquatch? Will she be able to (at the least)
find socks to keep her feet warm?
The more I
think of it, the less likely it seems that the PTF will have a Big
Foot of any size, but I appreciate Ceredwyn for giving me a few
moments of amusement with her log. Someday I hope to meet her.
Maybe she’ll let me photograph her footprints, even if it
isn’t in the PTF?
Meanwhile,
here’s another cache to lure all you non-Yetis into the
PTF.
I hollered at him, and he took off running. It happened so
quick, I didn’t have time to be scared. I don’t know
what it was, but it had big feet.
