FAILcaching's mission is to gather great stories of caching gone Horribly, Hilariously Wrong.
Please do not log "visited" caches. I want to keep a very high percentage of stories in the history. Thank you.
A bad day caching isn't always better than a good day at work.
Story behind the picture:
I was out in Arizona with another cacher, a friend who was interested in learning about geocaching, and a muggle. We decided to pull over and chase after one that was maybe a tenth of a mile from the road. The ground looked like desert pavement, so we drove onto it. Whoops--not desert pavement after all! We found ourselves rapidly sinking into sugar sand! We buried that poor truck to its bumper. And to make matters worse, none of us could get a cell signal. My fellow cacher walked to the highway to get cell service and call for help.
The best part: When the tow truck arrived, it got stuck, too! We watched the experienced tow driver deftly extract both stuck vehicles.
The worst part: While the other experienced cacher and I dealt with the truck, our friend--who had never found a geocache before--said to us,
"Is this what you guys are looking for?"
We signed the logbook:
"Took Nothing.
Left number for tow truck.
TFTC."
YOUR TURN. What's the worst disaster ever to have befallen you while caching? Share your stories in your log.
