Geocache Description:

A nice little hide along a trail I'd never noticed



OK, here's the deal.  When I first began caching about a year ago, I couldn't wait to begin hiding my own.  Had all sorts of ideas about places, puzzles, containers and the like.  All I needed was a GPS (I'd been warned not to place with my phone), some logs and swag and I'd be ready to go.

Eight months later, and still no hides.   Overwhelmed by the choices to the point of inertia, I suppose.  But then I snagged a FTF with Along the Saddle Pass Trail and its special "First To Find Zen" TB in mid January.  Surely this will spur me to action  Fast forward to May, and still no hides, still in possession of the First to Find Zen.  Ran into RalhphOnEarth at WWFM X - Camarillo - Rose Garden, take 2.

"You hide that TB yet?"

"Well, I'm ashamed to say, no."

"Here" Says Ralph, and hands me a container, all ready to go.

Well, this isn't that container, 'cause the TB wouldn't fit.  But it did fit in this one.  Along with a Qbee37© Signature wheresgeorge and some other stuff.  A camo'ed decon, about 6-10' South of the trail.  As always, watch where you put your hands and feet. BYOP


And so, finally, the 'Sorry I blew the Zen' streak ends at 115 days.  Don't end up having to write your own Mea Culpa, understand that there is a mission associated with the First To Find trackable. Better read about it: "First To Find Zen" before you grab it.  If the real first to find doesn't take it, then whoever does take it, and fulfills the mission, can claim an FTF as well.


Feedback is always appreciated on the difficulty/terrain ratings, cache descriptions, etc - thanks.


Congrats to earth4217 for the FTF
