ONE ONE FORE!
This one should be a fairly easy find for seasoned cachers but it's
not exactly a gimme either. The coordinates will bring you to
the home of Rhelt100 and ChickadeeCurzi. Feel free to park in
the driveway so that your vehicle is safe while your search.
The cache is an ammo can that was purchased and painted at the
Create A Cache event, which took place in North Park, last
year. It is painted camoflage...except for one side which is
obnoxiously
bright red. I made a deal with Red07z that he could
claim one side of my ammo can as his own so long as he painted the
rest camoflage. The result is what you see here. I
figured I could just put the red side down anyways so no harm
done.
If anyone's home, feel free to stop in and say "Hello!"
A few tidbits about your hosts:
ChickadeeCurzi,
aka. Kim, discovered geocaching on May 10, 2006. Her first
find was on May 28, 2006. I'm not exactly sure which cache
was her first since the first few are logged out of order.
However, I find it very interesting that her first logged find was
one of my caches here in Butler, PA...Ritts Park Micro.
ChickadeeCurzi had an off and on caching career from that point
on. I saw her at events occasionally and she joined us on a
couple of camping trips. The spring/summer of 2009 was a
turning point. Her adventurous spirit finally took over and
she started to join us more and more often on our weekend
adventures. Slowly but surely, over the course of the summer,
I fell in love and the rest is history.
Chickadee's hobbies include geocaching, disc golf, reminding Ray of
things he forgets (this is actually a full time hobby), bird
watching, hiking, camping, and hitting the flea markets. She
has extensive outdoor experience and education including canoeing,
lifeguarding, rifle, and archery. She also is a certified EMT
and CNA.
Rhelt100,
aka. Ray, was introduced to geocaching by a coworker (4Wheelin4) in
late 2005 and officially signed up on the website on November 28,
2005. His first find was The Reunion Cache here in Butler, PA
on Jan 28, 2006. From there, his competitive nature took hold
and the numbers started piling up quickly. Before too long,
he attended a few events and developed a small crew of other crazy
people who were willing to do whatever it takes to snag the
smiley. On April 17, 2007, he co-founded BACON (the Butler
Area Cachers of Note) along with Kerbear and purple_kv. From
that point on, it's been a pretty steady ride with an ever-growing
group of great friends.
Rhelt's hobbies include geocaching, disc golf, struggling to
remember things, hiking, online poker, camping, and just about
anything else as long as he's with ChickadeeCurzi. His
background is very technical, being a systems engineer by trade, so
he can usually be found answering some obscure technical
question.
Some days you may also run into
LegoAndrew
(Andrew) or
GoldenUnicorn (Ginny) hanging
out here.
Remember, it's not always about the smiley. The journey, and
those who experience the journey with you, are the true
prize.
