First date
A Kansas Heartland Geocache
We went to the movies but we
didn't have anything in particular that we were going to see. At
one point on the way there, I drove under Kellogg. I know I checked
the intersection to see that the intersection was clear, so I kept
driving. As I passed through the intersection, my date told me that
I ran a red light! No I didn't. I looked in the rear-view mirror.
Sure enough, there was the red traffic light looking back at
me.
Once we got to the theatre
we checked out the selections available. We went in to see the
Disney movie Aladdin knowing that it had already started. We walked
in right as Genii came out of the lamp, so it seemed to us like the
plot of the movie had just started and we didn't think we had
missed anything. It wasn't until Aladdin came out on VHS tape that
we saw the beginning. To this day, everytime I see the Disney video
logo at the beginning of a movie, my mind plays the melody that was
played at the beginning of Aladdin.
On the way home I was
heading south on West Street and wanted to turn east on Pawnee
Avenue. It was dark and I knew I was close to the intersection, so
I turned just before the intended intersection and found myself
driving in the wrong direction on Southwest Boulevard. I got myself
turned back around and made the correct turn on the second
go-round.
The first date was a success
and I was in bliss. Do I call her back the next day? No way! "Guy
laws" dictate that you do not call a girl back until at least
two days later. Silly guy laws. SHE called ME back the very
next day! Awesome!

A word of caution with
puzzle-caches. When posting your log, do not include spoiler
answers in your log, lest you risk the unfortunate deletion of your
valuable log. It is such a sad tragedy when an inappropriate log
brings upon the inevitable destruction of itself.
You are looking for a black
ammo box with a cantuland-geocache-logo painted on the sides.
Original contents include a Guide to Geocaching, a Sacagawea gold dollar
coin, a Kansas quarter, a Lewis-and-Clark edition nickel, one of
those new-Lincoln-image-on-the-back pennies, an old wheat penny,
and lots of other miscellaneous trade items.
Congratulations to both frog4peace and crossmage for being First To
Find!
The
Cadaeic Cadenza contains information on memorizing the
first 3835 digits of pi. The contents of that book is irrelevant in
this case. However, the word Cadaeic in the title of the book is
also based on pi. Taking "A" as 1, "B" as 2, "C" as 3, etc.,
"Cadaeic" is the first 7 digits of pi, rounding on that last
one.
