“BF? Who’s that?”
“I don’t know, some new cacher. They keep publishing events at parks near me then cancelling.”
“How many finds?”
“42.”
“In my day you were supposed to hide a 100 before publishing one. Has he or she published any other hides?”
“Not until today.”
“Where is it?”
“Past Dekalb. I’d go but I have other plans.”
“Anyone find it yet?”
“No.”
“Huh, interesting…”
I on the other hand had no plans so, seeing that no one had found it yet, decided to make the 40 minute drive out. It was in a forest preserve I hadn’t been to before. I wish I had left 10 minutes earlier and I would have had more sunlight. No flashlight in the car either. I’ll just use my phone’s light.
When I got the gravel parking area, there was some light when out in the open, but not much once I found a path that seemed to lead to GZ.
The cache itself wasn’t hard to spot. The hint didn’t fit though, that’s definitely above head high. Stepping on a low branch to barely reach it I heard something big running from the woods towards me.
That’s when I saw him. Bigfoot! He was lumbering towards me, carrying some large object made out of branches and rope. He made a satisfied grunt as he pulled me to the ground and placed the cage-like contraption over me.
[LOG] If anyone is reading this please send help. I have been trapped by Bigfoot with a travel bug trackable firmly attached to my jeans. He seems harmless but does NOT get how this game works!
