“Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time”.
It was the right time to put out an old fashioned, regular, traditional cache – and where better than at Rabbit Island.
The cache is recycled – it is older although not quite decayed. It contains a number of trinkets including our signature item as a reminder of the days when we always placed one. It also has a pencil and a pencil sharpener – we did say old fashioned.
Geocaching is a good way to prevent you from “fritter(ing) and waste(ing) the hours in an offhand way” – or maybe that is the point of the activity. Certainly it is a good way “for someone or something to show you the way”. It may take you to a new spot – to the best view in a new area and the special spots often known just to the locals.
Often it also takes you to a “piece of ground in your home town” that you had not visited before – or for a while – or had visited, but not really noticed properly.
This spot is not special other than being on Rabbit Island.
If you are "Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain”– go and find a cache instead. After all as Billy Connelly said "there is no such thing as bad weather – just the wrong clothes". We often think of that when caching in the rain. This is not really required, but many of us have done it.
“You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.”
Don't miss the chance to get to get a new cache before it decays - or is muggled.
For those who don't share Mrs Sobad's musical taste, thanks to Pink Floyd for the quotes. The release time of this cache is a significant stage in our caching life.
The GPS was giving a range of readings, but the spot should be obvious. Really.
