On my last maintenance trip to The Last Pioneer, I found myself wandering the area and stumbling across some old ruins and relics from the old campground that used to be at this location. I was starting to get twisted about when BLAMMO! I stumbled on a geocache. It had a sweet little hiding spot and was what I like to call a "proper" sized cache container. Not being up to date on the caches in the area I was surprised to find that somebody had decided to hide one in the area. I snapped a couple of pictures and then opened up the logbook to sign the log. It was blank. Wow! Awesome, I had found me a brand new cache... again (this has happened to me twice before, see notes). I quickly congratulated myself while logging a FTF. How crazy was this eh?
Before leaving the area I turned on my GPS to mark my spot so that I could find the right cache online and log my success. Well BLAMMO again. The waypoint was already marked in my GPS. Man, was I confused. Why? How? What? Ohhhhhh wait. This was my cache.
It turned out that I had originally hid this stash a couple of years back and never released it. I was no longer confused but definitely feeling a little crazy. Hence the birth of Crazed and Confused.
Waypoint 1: At the posted waypoint you will find an old sign post. There is a number on the sign (call it X) and five letters. Add the letters up to get a total (using A=1, B=2, C=3,...). This will give you a two digit number, call it Y.
Now the cache is hidden at a distance of X+Y-32 meters. Direction?... Well direction "unknown". Don't worry, I have faith that you will find the stash much like I did.
And yes, if you happen to get there first, ignore the FTF log by that Tripper guy.
Enjoy the hunt and enjoy your day!!
TRIPPER & fam.
NOTES:
- Over the years I've found two caches completely by chance. Here is one of them that just so happened to be a FTF too, Trouvez-moi. At the request of the cache owner I had written the log such that nobody would know that I stumbled across it.
- The area is great for a family picnic. There is a place to swim and fish, and there are even some outdoor BBQs provided.
