Can’t believe the adventure that ensued while going after this cache today. iBeRoberto and I set out on what we hoped would be a quiet and relaxing trip. As all good stories go, though, reality was nothing like our plans. After getting to the island, we had to battle the vicious cache guardians. They were relentless, and protective, but we eventually navigated their minefield to get to the posted coordinates. Once there, the real fun started. Next thing I know, I’m wading out into the lake and iBeRoberto is just standing there filming and laughing. Next I’m staggering around swinging a two by four while in knee high water. iBR is in disbelief at my ineptitude and then as he begins to approach, I find the secret...the masterpiece that Aswepay has created. The cache is retrieved, but not before coming to the realization that we will probably get bird flu from the intense layer of goose poop all over the cache. Talk about some natural camo. Wow.
The voyage back should have been uneventful and a celebration of our conquest, but the skies immediately began to darken and lightening filled the sky. We raced as quickly as possible back to shore and got to the shore just as rain began to fall. An amazing adventure and one I will not soon forget.
