I got a good laugh after reading this log that was posted on one of my cache sites. This Team has only 7 finds so far but it looks like they have a lot of tenacity. Too bad we can't award geocaching medals for valiant efforts ;) WhereRwe?

THis is a long story but definately a weird one. SO me and dusty vehicle out to do another night cache together. We start out by waking up the neighborhood dogs and get them barking as we ascend to the cache. One of the neighbors god knows why decides to get out one of those night sun spotlights and turns it on and follows us as we ascend the hillside to the cache. With the full moon tonight we had plenty of light and his light was was really *explitive* annoying. So we kept hiking just ignoring his light and he eventually turned it out. We then go jumping cactus neddles all in my leg and had to use pliers to get them out. My leg is so swollen right now ouch. THen we came across a huge bee hive which was really making us nervous. Wer got to the top and could not find that damn petroglyph. we must have looked for at least an hour. Our gps's were putting us 75-80feet away from it. SO we found it finally after all that time and many thoughts of giving up. We hiked back. On our way back we hear a girl shouting to us aksing if we are ok. WE tell her were fine just hiking now that it had cooled off and she said ok. and left. SHe had been yelling to us from her back yard . Then a helicopter showed up with spotlight on searching for us. From what the lady said she saw our lights at the top when we were going through the cache and she thought we migfht need help so she procedded to dial 911 on her hunch that we might be hurt. Yeah we were fine and the helicopter soon departed. We hiked out and when walking to our vehicle just about every family on the street was standing in their front yards just watching it all unfold. If i hadent live it i would think it was a bunch of crap but i tell you all of this shit happened. SO i dont really remember what we left but i remember we took a hotweels car and we logged the cache at about 10:49 PM. then we wnt to mine mine all mine for another exciting adventure. > > This will take you to your cache page.
