Background
Info:
"While waiting for Mray, we decided to fan our 2.25 million,
1.0 million and 3.0 million candle power lights back and forth in
the air as search lights so that Mray could actually find the
cache!"
There are
always interesting and funny stories that come out of Geocaching.
This is one of them. We had been caching in Georgia for some time
before we moved to Florida. When we got here to central Florida
mraymondus pointed us in the right direction. So
eventually he found our first cache we placed down here. Oh what
fun he had that night! The logs below are from an actual cache of
ours mraymondus found, well eventually found.
Additional
Note: There are no spotlights to help you find this cache.
Enjoy!

Out night-caching with JetCow, MadSkier, and Mray. Oops, I take
that back...mray got lost on this one and did it by
himself.
While parked
next to some apartments, Jetskier decided to experiment with his
car alarm on his brand new cachemobile. "I wonder if I can set off
the alarm from way back here in the woods", he pondered out loud
while pressing the panic button. Sure enough, from about 300 feet
away, while we were in the woods, we (and all the apartment
dwellers) hear the screeching alarm go off. What made the
experiment interesting was that he could set off his alarm from 300
feet away, but not turn it off! So we all had to listen to the
alarm while we walked back to the car.
We offered
Mray one of the extra Magellans we had on our dashboard so he
wouldn't get lost again, but he decided to stick with his
Garmin...and we lost him again on the next cache!
Thanks for
the cache.

This was one of the most memorable caches of the night! The car
alarm, losing Mray, etc.
The car
alarm experiment came about because MadCow was waiting in the car
while CacheMonkeez and myself went into the woods for the cache.
MadCow then opened the car door which initially set off the alarm.
I was able to stop it from 300' in the woods, so I decided to see
if I could do it again! Didn't work the 2nd time!
While
waiting for Mray, we decided to fan our 2.25 million, 1.0 million
and 3.0 million candle power lights back and forth in the air as
search lights so that Mray could actually find the
cache!
Thanks for
the fun adventure.

The nearby roads had been relayed (differing significantly with the
maps in my GPS). We got separated in traffic (Jetskier in the
lead). My GPS told me to turn left (Beep...Beep-Beep-Beep) at the
next light (no sign of the others at that point). So I made the
left. Then the GPS said 'make a right'.. It was a marked street -
but it looked like a vehicle park for Reedy Creek. I drove all the
way to the end.. a dead end.
I was just
turning around when the cell rang.. It was Cachemonkeez ('hey,
where are you...' the usual ribbing) I backtracked and turned into
what appeared to be the correct set of apartments... Nope. Another
dead end. Then I tried the next set... Nope.. another dead end. Of
course, the cell rang again... same as last time.. 'hey, do you
need a Magellan?'
I eventually
made it.. Man that was embarrassing!
